Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Dave Gordon is a wonderful guy...

...and he is not a design engineer. So it is possible that he got some of the details wrong. The review of the DAC in Hi-Fi News (UK) said that the ARC DAC uses a TI USB-to-S/PDIF part. Then they feed the output of this through the S/PDIF receiver chip that has a low-pass filter on the PLL to remove a lot of the jitter. This is a nice improvement, but according to what they published is not true asynchronous mode.
