Doesn't this imply that the creation of the file which is being played (eg, mp3 or FLAC) could also cause the dreaded jitter? So if I download an mp3 or FLAC file from some source, I should ask what the quality of the digital chain which was "in front of" the creation of this file? When I rip a CD, should I be concerned about the jitter being induced into my system at that point? Does that mean that when ripping a CD, and then transcoding the result into FLAC (and MP3), I should be minimizing the processing on the machine I am using to perform this process? I guess this also means I should be using a special audiophile DVD reader, or else additional jitter will be introduced? Should I also add a higher-quality linear power supply to my PC to enable the highest fidelity during this stage in the digital chain? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106578 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
