RE: Question about the digital transport

Seems like it's most probably jitter. Everything else being equal, the way digital bits are getting transferred from the transport into the DAC is obviously susceptible to timing (as you've mentioned, Dawn). Yes, I fully agree, digital bits are dimensionless, but digital bits that represent music are not dimensionless. Their dimension is time; real time. Our ears are not going to wait until the devices sort everything out and render a perfect representation of the bits found in the auxiliary storage. Time marches on, it does not wait for anyone, and so the music must go on. And that's where the imperfections in music reproduction creep in.

I also agree that software makes a huge difference in the quality of music reproduction. It is a well known fact that Linux is right now the most perfect platform for handling digital music. Why? Quality software. Again, the music must go on.

I'm surprised that you haven't been able to find high definition music that would be worth listening. Have you looked hard enough? There's plenty on the market (and more will be coming).

If anything, we finally have the Beatles in hi rez (OK, only as 24-bit/44.1 kHz, but hey, it really makes a hell of a difference in the sound quality). One day, we'll get the Beatles in their full 24-bit/92 kHz glory!

What's that? You don't really like the Beatles? I refuse to believe that! Not liking the Beatles is as perverse as not liking the sun.
