Here the use of buffers came up as the holy grail. I been told by a member here that jitter https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitter can’t exist in buffers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_buffer And no one has said otherwise, so I’m assuming this is a correct statement. So whatever jitter was present in your network chain, a buffer in the last piece of your chain will clean or remove whatever jitter and phase noise and different gremlins that may exist previously in your chain. This lead me think, why isn’t then buffers the answer to how to clean up jitter in any digital transfer ? It can’t be that simple ? As an example, if all the Rendu’s had such buffers, (maybe they have?), shouldn’t they offer equal quality in SQ ? Then the choice of internal clock shouldn’t matter either ? (Maybe why latest version of microRendu doesn’t have same clock as the more expensive Rendues, but same buffer). I (or someone else) must be mixing things here. What have I misunderstood ? Maybe there exist so many types of jitter, and that’s the confusing thing. Ummm... First of all, we would need ot specify what jitter you are referring to: As you mention Rendu Series renderers, I guess you mean Ethernet jitter, and not digital audio jitter? For Ethernet, at every step along an Ethernet pathway, any jitter is removed because indeed, the data is buffered, and then re-clocked out of that buffer. So every device an Ethernet signal goes through buffers and re-clocks the data, every router, switch, modem, and fiber media converter buffers and re-clocks the data, removing any jitter from the incoming stream, and creating a new jitter free stream on the output. So, every Ethernet component buffers the data, it has to, and this is one of the reasons why Ethernet can transfer data over such long distances without any issues. Note, that jitter in an Ethernet stream has no relation at all to digital audio jitter in a DAC, that is an entirely different thing. semente and jabbr 2 SO/ROON/HQPe: DSD 512-Sonore opticalModuleDeluxe-Signature Rendu optical with Well Tempered Clock--DIY DSC-2 DAC with SC Pure Clock--DIY Purifi Amplifier-Focus Audio FS888 speakers-JL E 112 sub-Nordost Tyr USB, DIY EventHorizon AC cables, Iconoclast XLR & speaker cables, Synergistic Purple Fuses, Spacetime system clarifiers.
