| Hard Drive based system Morbius is correct, if the master clock is local to the DAC chip itself, then the jitter will be minimized. This is not necessarily the case with external "bit clocks" that a few DAC's and CD players utilize. This is often more difficult than it s... | |
| Possessed HTPC Probably power ground-loops. If you plug everything into a single circuit, this should not happen. Also, try ungrounding the monitor. | |
| Optical or Coax Digital Out to a D-A Converter? Digital electrical interfaces should have lower jitter than optical unless they are really poorly implemented. | |
| Hard Drive based system Read this white-paper that I wrote that just got published on positive-feedback.com:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue22/nugent.htm | |
| Hard Drive based system You bet. It's the DAC AND the converter both. See this article I wrote on Computer Audio:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue22/nugent.htm | |
| Philips 963 SA -transport It's one of the best transports that I have modded, and it costs a lot less to mod. It sounds as good without a Superclock as other player WITH a Superclock inside. Not the most reliable one though. You can get a lemon... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Edsilva - if you look in the "components" folder of Foobar200 in Program Files, the ASIO .dll should be there if you are using it. | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Is ASIO something they could have licensed and baked into the ESI24.dll driver?Very possible. | |

| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? TBG - I have no idea what has been done to the RC burner. I may not be much better than some standard CD-R or DVD-R burners. The one that I am modding should be substantially better than anything that can be purchased because it wil have Supercloc... | |

| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? RCprince - I dont think it was me that said anything about "delicate" anything. The CDROM or DVDROM drive reads the data into the computer to be stored on the Yamaha hard disk. That's all. You should not be trying to use your CD player to read dat... | |
