Anyone can think of a reason why would one want to turn the GPLL off? Apart from an attempt to justify a S-M purchase that is.
Maybe if you like the sound of jitter?

What? That is like asking me to give you a link for 1+1 = 2. How much have you studied this to challenge me this way? Even the Wiki tells you this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitter
...Regarding the massive arogance you have shown...
also another review of 8 channel ESS DAC is announced released later today
Is this jitter thing only on digital to analog conversion process?I have this theory: Vinyl can remove jitter !
Many vinyl records are made from digital recordings.
Yet I have never heard an audiophile complain about 'jitter' in the case of vinyl so it must remove jitter.
We need to find a way to vynilyze the digital signal ?![]()
I checked some dictionaries and couldn't find the word "vynilyze", did you mean vandalize?We need to find a way to vynilyze the digital signal ?

There's no D-A conversion in vinyl playing, it's all analog, maybe that's the reason that vinyl rips are not as good as vinyl playing..

Not sure why there needs to be a distinction since frequency domain is the same as the time domain, over a transformation. Maybe just a question of terminology?
I’ve always thought of noise as some unwanted signal.
Noise is not a signal, it's a quantity. It is present everywhere except in a theoretically perfect vacuum. It is generated by simple movement of particles in any sort of material or space.
Jitter is a specific timing error in digital transmission. It exists in every digital transmission, and is hard-coded into the transmission itself. Unlike noise, it is not really possible to accurately model the output jitter of a circuit because much will depend on interconnection and downstream device termination. These variables aren't always well-known, so a target spec is used and device is tested to meet or fail spec.
The distinction between jitter and noise is an important one, as almost all digital signals have some level of jitter. It is unavoidable because of the very mechanism of digital transmission.
This is why it is important, you cannot treat something if you start in the wrong place. As above, orange is not the same as juice. Pedantic as it sounds, the word 'Science' leads me to believe that terminology should be exact, even if not convenient.
And no, Frequency and Time domains are NOT the same, not by a country mile. They are both unique in their challenges and require different approaches and treatment. This is applicable not just to jitter and noise floor discussions even if I were to think only of audio.
I think I clearly spelled out my definition of noise. You are providing a different definition, and that's fine, but arguing about definitions is silly as long as they are clearly stated.
....
Definitions vary, and as long as I clearly state mine, I don't see the problem.
Not the same, but equivalent, under an information-preserving transformation and its inverse.
None taken. But definition, by definition, must be defined, and therefore, can be re-definedNo, they don't. By definition, the word 'definition' can only mean one thing. Noise is what it is, it does not really care what your 'definition' is. No offense.
They are not same, equivalent, interchangeable or similar. A signal can be represented in both domains but there is nothing common between them. Distortions in time domain and signal domain have different behaviours, and are measured differently, and have different solutions. You are assuming that jitter = noise. This is not true.
I still don't get this reclocking thing. How does the dac recover the clock, it receives the 0 and 1 and it guess the timing, just by some algoritme?
The old Sony dac or the Linn Karik/Numerik used a separate cable for the clock, why? Because the reclocking was not invented at the time? Sony was making some cost no object at the time, they could have found a better solution..
Why in the studio they still use a word clock?
