I don't see how your earlier statements lead to this conclusion.

If he has measurements of the SOtM sCLK-EX phase noise, I'd love to see them.

rickca Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 @PeterSt how do you account for the fact that lots of people are reporting that different switches sound better than others? Surely it can't be due to errors/retransmissions causing more processing on the audio PC. Also I think you're saying that with well designed playback software nothing upstream of the audio PC really matters, right?

I'm not sure his response is going to be that people are just imagining things.

Are you saying that if you disconnect the network that nothing upstream of the audio PC matters?

Peter it sounds like you don't believe the stuff that Alex and John Swenson describe ... upstream phase noise fingerprint affecting downstream components and getting past many kinds of isolation techniques? Am I misinterpreting what you're saying?

I really hope the new board does the trick.
