Interesting - how about MEASUREMENTS?

Fascinating idea John and I hope someone offers to help with the building of such a device... Would make a great "Extreme Ultimate Music Transport / DAC" article!

However, the operation of such a device as you've alluded to will be very "user-unfriendly" in terms of convenience. For that price, just how much audible difference do you hope this device will deliver compared to an excellent DAC like say a Weiss?

Although I don't think I could ever live with the inconvenience of a "primitive" interface, objectively, what do you think such a device will accomplish? How much jitter reduction do you expect and how would you measure this? Do you think the extreme isolation will lower the noise floor audibly? Will the frequency response change whatsoever; any more "flat" compared to a good orthodox DAC design?

I think it would be awesome to have such a device built and experience the state-of-the-art sound; but I think it'd be just as interesting academically to get some measurements out of the beast and see the results of some blind testing to see if anyone notices :-)
