Hi Arny! I'm fascinated to notice that you've suddenly popped up over here. It's actually quite spooky but disregarding that, are any of the members who previously posted on this thread still active on the forum? I recall that somewhere in the Good Book (which I read once in my youth for completeness) it says "there is nothing new under the sun". It seems that a lot of people were using external DACs & the word clock in on the TP back in the day, although no-one seems to have conducted any kind of rigorous testing of the ABX kind. It was interesting to find Sean Adams description of how he derived the quoted measurements for the TP. There didn't appear to be much consensus amongst the earlier posters as to which kind of lab measurements would be useful in the context of external DACs and digital connections... I believe that your position on this remains that it shouldn't make an audible difference because the TP's internal jitter is low enough to be inaudible & similarly that its in-built DAC is good enough to be indistinguishable from an external DAC in terms of discernible audible differences in a domestic listening environment with real ears, despite the possibility that minute measurable differences might be detected in lab testing. That's if I've understood your "reliable subjectivist" concept correctly. Please put me right if I've got any of this wrong, I'm not précising your early statements in my own words to irritate you but simply to ensure that I've fully got your drift. On the other thread (which has been getting a bit silly, I must shoulder my share of the blame for that!) you commented that you should perhaps write up something on the (or your, I wasn't quite sure) theory of audible perception in homo sapiens. With my deadly serious face on for once, I should be most interested to read that. Hope that you're having a pleasant weekend! Dave :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Golden Earring's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71464
