    BerylliumDust - I don't own the IP. If Rob wanted to publish every detail of how it worked, he would.

    Well, changing the buffer setting seem to do a little bit more than what IS says:

    as can be read here.

    Precisely Isaac!

    You only know what they want you to know... If buffer's only function was jitter reduction it wouldn't be necessary to have 0, 2 or 4 seconds of buffer... which, in addition, do sound different even when using optical connection from the same transport.

    For jitter reduction you would only need some fraction of second of buffer storing just to allow the existance of a re-synchronization clock...

    So, why does it sound different... and why not have only the theoretical best sounding buffer position?

    Simple... everyone has a pretty different set up, different set of ears & a different taste in music reproduction. ;)

    When a product is overhyped in the media, you'll tend to get the extreme views of both spectrum. And the Chord 64 DAC clearly fits into that.

    Almost a year now and I still reckon the 64 has given me the best sounding digital replay. Being extremely detailed & controlled are their strength that won me over.
