Yes, we know this, there are differences the guys at M.I.T or Fraunhofer institute are able to measure.
But is it audible?
Fortunately not, at least not to my tin ears.
Are there any DBTs published where a golden ear was capable of discerning different at least semi-decent sources?I'm not talking about crappy CDPs, but about bit perfect soundcards.
Just curious.

The net effect is that the DAC1 will sound different with different sources based on two main factors. jitter and clock skew. |
