"Your 24/96 is a pure jitter reduction box."Although touted as such, the jitter that's reduced is transformed to noise.
Follow Ups:
This is not the upsampling model so I don't think it is using ASRC of any kind, just reclocking and signal boosting. For the upsampling model you may be right. There are 2 non-upsampling models from Monarchy though.
would that be the case with every anti-jitter box....it just changes the jitter into noise....is that the only thing you can do with jitter?
HowdyNope, ASRC (Asynchronous Sample Rate Conversion) converts jitter into noise in the data, other forms of jitter reduction don't convert jitter into noise, they filter the jitter. Whether a particular DAC will sound better with filtered jitter or with the noise from ASRC is a personal preference. Despite my personal misgivings about ASRC my modded Perp Tech P-3A sounds pretty darn good as, I'm sure, do plenty of other ASRC DACs.
So how do you know if it uses one or the other?
HowdyI'm staying out of that part :)
You can only tell by asking a reputable source or looking up the chips used and seeing how they are wired into the circuit board. You can guess if they take in 16/44.1 (Redbook) and output 24/96 or 24/192 it's probably ASRC, if they take in 44.1 and output 88.2 or 176.4 it may be SSRC.
The info on this thread is too ambiguous for me to take a guess.
TedThanks a lot for this discussion...
HAve you tried both the dip and the src2496 together??
