Mr. JML,
I have no idea who you are but your knowledge of things digital does seem to eclipse my own. If you read what I wrote to you previously I was only pointing out that there are those with completely different conclusions than your own. (It sort of seemed you might not have been aware of that, but obviously you are.)
I have heard a lot of digital setups and I can assure you that my AN DAC fed by the Mac Mini sounds divine - by this I mean not only pleasurable, but realistic in term of timbre, nuance, and dynamics, with no hint of 'digititus' at all. It has been my understanding that jitter is thought to be responsible for that hard, unpleasant digital sound, and since this is lacking in my setup, I have to conclude that it is not high-jitter. (While I may be relying on experience over theory, you do seem to be doing the opposite: have you listened to an AN DAC fed by a USB transport?)
I am open to the idea of using a physical disc transport as I did indicate. In fact, can you answer this for me: Is there some other way I could get 24/96 into my DAC? The chip will truncate to 18 bits but will take a 96 Khz stream, but the Hag USB interface will only take 48 Khz. Until AN Kits has their new USB interface there is no way to do it with USB that I know of. But there is no disc transport that I know of that could, say, take 24/96 AIFF files (such as those produced by a Masterlink with its CD24 burns) and transfer via SPDIF.
