Nice try. Wrong subject. Nobody is discussing Aeris DAcs. We're or better I'm discussing your problems and your partially limited view of looking at things. You don't want me to dig out more examples!?!
I'd like to add some more stuff to this thread. The OPs attempt of measureing "digital" software players such as JRMC JPLAY FOOBAR etc. lead to no results or better neglectable differences. You'll find some lengthy blogs about it on his blog page. Why do I bring this up over here. I do see a kind of relation. The OP doesn't understand that his high quality Teac DAC ( I do also have one at hand) tries everything to manipulate the incoming data. Exactly that what a measurements chain shouldn't do. There's a lot of signal recovering, refreshing, reclocking and filtering involved in a DAC device. That signal refreshing is pretty much similar to above WM8805 example. The better it's done the less problems remain on the output. The Teac DAC probaly does an even better job then the the WM8805. The OPs SW player measurements just show that his Teac+EMU (digital-analog-digital-analog ??) maesurments chain is doing such a good job that his EMU is not able to show significant differences. It doesn't say anything about the SW player performance and a potenially relevant USB layer 1 impact. Relevant measurements would have to be conducted on the physical USB interface. Otherwise no reliable results can be expected.
