| What does Jitter sound like? I think a good A/B switching with zero lag would be the best way to hear jitter and describe exactly what it does to the sound I can't do pefectly zero lag as the DSP amp takes two seconds to switch some pretty clunky relays - but this is close e... | |
| The best digital audio out of coaxial, or optical? If both work properly (the bits arrive) and the DAC device has a re-clocking PLL then perhaps it is just a coin toss between the two....both are equally good (as good as the PLL re-clocker algorithm). | |
| What does Jitter sound like? I suggest disposing of theory & gambling a few hundred dollars on a simple clock upgrade and report back to the forum. What would you suggest that would be a few hundred dollars and would make an immediately obvious improvement? I have four m... | |
| best rock voices Freddie Mecury - he had a range of four octaves - nobody else comes close. Queen have sold more than the Beatles...enough said. | |
| What does Jitter sound like? The question was WHAT DOES JITTER SOUND LIKE, and the conversation degraded into a brain battle of engineers Sorry Dusty...the propellerheads do run on don't they...I'll take your advice and put some more scotch on the bridge of my glasses and go... | |
| Help- why do my Definitive Tech BP7001's sound Bad Once more I find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with Duke...as usual he has hit the nail on the head.Speakers that radiate in a rearward pattern in the mid and high frequencies will produce a claustrophobic or cluttered sound when placed up agains... | |
| What does Jitter sound like? Shadorne - how do you think the data coming off the disk is stored in a buffer in the CD player without a PLL?I'll take a stab at what I think is going on and you please correct me - I much appreciate your efforts/time to educate me. I apolgise i... | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? Amazing all the conjecture against Wireless 802 system and in preference for USB.....IMHO both should sound indistinguishable provided you buy modestly good gear...after all none of this is rocket science...do we really suspect manufacurers are al... | |
| What does Jitter sound like? digital jitter seems to smear timing quite differently and more objectionably so. Having progressed through four generations of clock in my CDP I can say that most of what listeners think is synthetic & irritating about RBCD relates to jitter... | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? I use a wireless keyboard with roller ball mouse. I use my HDTV as a screen. (Mac Mini can output 720P with some slight mods to the software that controls the video card)But feel free to ignore this as I did quite a bit of programming for my setup... | |
| What does Jitter sound like? However, inaccuracies in the pit locations on the CD or CD-R contribute to the PLL clock jitter in the CD player There is no PLL (Phase Lock Loop) used in a CD player unless it is getting its timing daisy chained down from some external device ra... | |
| What does Jitter sound like? Shadorne - you are missing the point. I may have missed something but I think we agree apart from your claim "the positions of the pits in the CD are a form of timing information that can cause jitter as they are read", which is incorrect. My poi... | |
| What does Jitter sound like? Steve,I woudl refer you to Nika Aldrich "Digtal Audio for teh Audio Engineer"Quote:Page 353 "A digital recorder will store exactly the same information regardless of how jittery the clock"Therefore according to Nika it makes no difference how many... | |
| Better than my 32" Sony Wega XBR? I had an XBR 36" HDTV CRT Sony - the only thing that comes close is Panasonic Plasma IMHO...you gain in precision geometry an dbrightness but you still lose a bit in dark scenes. Overall,,,,I think Panasonic Plasma is a slight improvement...LCD ..... | |
| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? Synthfreek - good point - I use that setup but no DAC - my mac mini directly controls ALL sources (including CD player preamp and source selection via an USB to serial link to an infra red controller box) |
