Does this validate the case more for a one box
, or is a one box MORE susceptable to digital signal corruptional influencies ?
IME, Jitter is caused mainly by contamination, by internal power supplies, from ether main board or the rails that feed the the clock/Filter/dac chips, in adquate coupling/decoupling of said chips, rfi by emptied over the unit from clocks & dsp arrays, has anyone consided that a clock outputting a square wave form will generate more RFI than a sine wave variant?, cables and reflections big issue here.
However I will, the best sound I've ever heard from a red book/sacd is a 2 box unit, transport/dac, at least with two units, the power suppiles for the sevro drive and transport mech/clock & digital output boards are seperate from the dac section, yes the transmission of the signal is susecptable to 'attack' however, I personal feel this isn't such a critial 'area' as shoving it in one box (says he with a one box
)
Just some musings Wm
