James - congrats on another stellar product review. This is indeed a fabulous sounding combination. No fuss, no muss, just a musical sounding DAC/player combo. The way it should be. Here's hoping you add native DSD in the future (not DSD over PCM, but real native DSD).

Hi Folks,

Should have the complete PDF of the Review soon but I am very proud of the Jitter numbers measured by Paul Miller in the technical section of the review - would you believe 10 psec!

Um, what's a psec?
I'm taking it that the smaller the number the better?

Thanks,
Mike


Hi

Picosecond [ps] is a measure of time interval in accordance with SI standard. An interval of one second is equal to:
1.000 millisecond [ms]
1.000.000 microsecond [ns]
1.000.000.000 nanosecond [ns]
1.000.000.000.000 picosecond [ps]

Therefore, one picosecond equals 1x10exp(-12) seconds. It is used in quantum mechanics and sometimes chemistry. In audio, it is used to measure time misalignment of the digital samples and lower value is better though it is not the only relevant parameter.

As far as digital transports go, I think 10ps is as low as humanly possible.
