But seriously, do you really believe there is some X-factor beyond data integrity and clock jitter that isn't yet (or can't) be measured but that affects digital to analog conversions? I realize there are many other factors that contribute to the ultimate sound, everything from RF noise to power supply capacitors, but time shift the digital datastream from two different transports by storing it to hard drive and you lose the transport sound signature when the files are played back, provided the data is read correctly. That would imply to me that the difference is all clock jitter when you are in the digital domain, and that nobody knows how low it has to be before inaudible.
