In Reply to: What should I audition (MSRP $4000 - $8000)...? posted by DevilDawgMom on March 4, 2007 at 23:38:56:
Two things that affect sound in a player (in simplistic terms). Jitter in the digital signal and DAC/Output stage. Just changing the DAC is like getting a different flavor. A low jitter digital input is what will change the fundamental characteristic (digital edge, tightness of bass, treble extension) of the player. A DAC/output stage difference affect only the quality of the analog signal. I am not sure, I am getting this across correctly. Low jitter player can be paired with a tube buffer or preamp to modify the nature of the output, but a high jitter player will be flawed in playback totally.
