Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: The jitter is only a problem?

Howdy

Well there are errors in the bits (shouldn't happen if things are nominally functional) and errors in the timing (jitter.) So unless things are in bad shape (bit errors) there isn't anything else but jitter.

But this isn't as useful as it might seem because in some sense everything matters. There is no perfect cleanup of jitter so improving anything in the chain has the potential to improve the result at the DAC. Note, I didn't say that everything always makes a difference, but often it does or perhaps as your system improves you'll find that you can now hear improvements you didn't hear before.

I was surprised that changing power cords on my old transport could firm up the bass in my system even tho there wasn't an electrical connection between the transport and the DAC.
