Affordable anti-jitter device

I agree with Avguygeorge - look for a DAC that can deal with jitter well. With respect, I would have to disagree on the Benchmark being state of the art reclocking. The claims might be grand but the method is cheap and cheerful. The Benchmark uses a simple and relatively common trick of introducing a cheap asynchronous sample rate convertor into the signal path - which does reduce jitter, but at the expense of changing the signal. The method is used in several other inexpensive devices such as the Bel Canto DAC2, some of the Bryston DACs and the later DIPs. One might call Anagram Technologies state of the art, and it uses the same method (not the same cheap chip though) but with considerably more processing power. But state of the art should go to those methods that achieve great jitter results AND preserve the original bits all the way to the DAC processor, such as word clock synchronisation or synchronous reclocking with buffering. Most of the state of the art methods are perhaps way out of the price range of the gear being discussed here, except for the new Lavry DA10 which brings asynchromous reclocking with buffering down to the $1000 mark and so is probably an item to look at. I haven't heard one but apparently they sound close to the Lavry Blue, which makes me want one. But I have to say the cosmetics will worry most audiophiles, including me.
