If you dismiss dual stage clock recovery PLLs out of hand as not being immune to jitter then there is no sense in re-hashing my original arguments. We'll just go around in circles again. I know John S insists that PLLs are not efficient as well. I don’t buy it but I'll just drop the entire discussion and invite everyone to purchase a $550 USB cable unless they happen to own your above recommended DACs.

Before leaving I will say this. Isn't it remarkable that Broadcast TV, Cable and Satellite can transmit a 1080i signal with synched 5.1 Dolby surround streamed at > 20mbps without error across tens of miles of nothingness but audiophiles have anxiety attacks with pushing less than 20kbps down 1 meter of cable? And reasonably priced dual stage clock recovery PLLs aren't good enough!

  Yea and my Satellite audio / video broadcasts are 100% perfect 100% of the time-I just can't figure out why my english broadcasts look like Japanese lip synching. Digital perfect sound (and sight) forever? I sure am grad I didn't get rid of my old LP's.

    I don't have that problem with TW Cable nor with over the air broadcasts (I find PBS always perfect). I don't have Satellite so I can't judge.
