In Reply to: "The devil is in the details for any system to have superior sonics." All well and good, but... posted by clarkjohnsen on January 18, 2008 at 00:06:38:
Low jitter enables improved background "blackness", better imaging, better focus (pinpoint), which also improves dynamics and the "liveness" factor, which I describe as "vibrancy", "sparkle" or "Vivid".
Evidently you did not listen in my room long enough to "get" this, or maybe I played the wrong tracks at THE Show???
Virtually all of the other listeners said they "got it".
