Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox.


I've been using this to stream AIFF and WAV files into my 2 channel system with excellent results. Is anybody else using one of these?

"Jitter" as a concept does not apply to digital bitstream read from a hard disk file. It was something that applied to Audio CDs but once you rip the file to a wav or FLAC it's "frozen in time." Every time you play it back in a pure digital passthrough mode from your computer, as it leaves the pc it is an exact duplication of the bitstream read from your CD at the time you read it.
That's not to say that this has no jitter, it just has the exact jitter at the time of the rip, ever time. This is assuming you have a clean digital line to your outboard DAC / Pre-pro / Receiver / whatever.
