In Reply to: Musiland Monitor 01 USD - late to the party, but... posted by Thorsten on December 17, 2009 at 10:35:40:
Folks,
I located the datasheet for the Output Transformers:
http://ww2.pulseeng.com/products/datasheets/T601.pdf
It is specified to match the ancient Crystal receivers/transmitters and is specified for 7Mbps (that is basically 48KHz sample rate).
This does not seem very good to transmit the four times faster rate at 192KHz.
Indeed, the waveforms I saw seem not too great for 44.1KHz, though still better than some of the show of horrors shown on Lampizators website:

(All these are SPDIF output traces from CD-Players/Transports long discontinued at 44.1KHz, so it is possible to do much worse than Musiland)
Ciao T

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
