Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

In what way is this an attack?

Does it really matter who the man is? The quote from that thread IMO is just another unsubstantiated inflammatory remark about the horrors of jitter which seems to have no empirical backing like many such comments on the 'Net or in magazine print.

There's no ad hominem criticism being made other than a statement that this individual was banned from the site which you provided. For anyone who would take the post's opinion seriously, it's worthwhile considering why... Who knows, maybe that comment wasn't made by the "real" Jacko and DIYHiFi decided to shut that account down! (Not to mention this comment was made almost 10 years ago!)

Furthermore, I asked a serious question looking for any evidence to substantiate such as strong opinion that TosLink sounds like "crap". My opinion is that TosLink sounds fine and in fact have not heard or measured terrible jitter that would impair my ability to fully enjoy the music using this interface or standard optical cables. I am certainly happy to reconsider this opinion if there is some evidence that would suggest otherwise.
