Check again. You may have been *thinking* reclocking, but you didn't mention it.

That relates to buffering, which is *not* what we're talking about; at least, it's not what *I'm*
talking about.
Once you use a buffer / FIFO you'll want to read what was written to it and you'll want to do that in sync with a clock signal - that's the whole point of buffering in the first place. Did you think I wanted to poll the poor buffer at arbitrary intervals and then pass on whatever was in there as fast as possible. (I almost want to know how that sounds now :))
My point is that buffering is another solution to the jitter problem. If the digital source/DAC you're working with doesn't have a buffer with an accurate clock then you're stuck with the accuracy of the clock information encoded in the digital stream.
That's one solution, but not the only one. A clock chip upgrade (€29 + 12v PSU) might be more
cost-effective.
Possibly. Not for me once you factor in I'll probably butcher three squeezeboxes in the process.
Erm, audiophiles aren't always idiots with bottomless pits of money to throw at snake-oil solutions.
Ah, they are not? I stand corrected and apologize for having you pegged as one after the "de-magnetize your CDs" site.
D'you know, I think we're possibly in raging agreement here, once we start talking about the same thing!
