receiver to measure the sample jitter at the DAC.To base all conclusions on my proposed test, we must have faith
that the receiver is properly buffering and reclocking the stream.
Pioneer claims "zero jitter", and if they are using a halfway
decent crystal oscillator, it seems very attainable to me.
Charles Hanson has suggested that the clock routing to the
DAC may not be optimul, but I've seen no measurements that
would indicate the clock signal is not clean and jitter-free.However, my proposed test would certainly confirm or deny Ole Lund
Christensen's speculations on a mechanical reason for the
phenomenon.BTW, I couldn't find the Jennifer Warnes disc at my local CD
emporium. CD layer of CCR Cosmo Factory is much easier to find.
I'll pick it up tomorrow.Ron
