The "sound" of jitter

After a period of work-enforced absence from the boards I was sucked back into this thread over on the Sonos forum concerning how to get the best out of a Sonos system used as a digital front-end, and how to deal with that perennial digital bugbear jitter.

One of the other forum members asked a couple of very simple questions I had great difficulty answering.

Congrats to SonicFlare

Speaking of fun, please be sure to visit the redesigned SonicFlare. I met SonicFlare's Josh Ray at CES a couple of years back and I was impressed by his enthusiasm and energy. The dude exists to share the magic of hi-fi. The updated SonicFlare offers entertaining and informative articles on how to make sense of measurements, how to pimp your system, and how to use your speakers to get laid. They've even come up with a new way of describing the various sonic characteristics of components and systems. The "Sonic Circle" breaks hi-fi down into three major categories (Precise, Emotional, and Refined) and three related sub-categories (Vivid, Intense, and Smooth).

A Day At The Races

Hola,

We had a thing in town this past weekend at "The Las Vegas Strip," which is a drag strip. The National Hot Rod Association has drag races there from time to time, and I enjoyed my first trip to one of these events.

Talk about an entire subculture that I did not know existed!

It was like my first trip to CES back in the day and being taken to the Sahara Exhibits!
