[QUOTE="Waterhond, post: 74970, member: 1200"] Yep, nothing illustrated that more clearly to me than getting a little cheap Teralink x2 box with a Tenor chip and re-clocking circuitry in it for 70 us bucks and suddenly my equally cheap v-dac sounds like a very, and I mean very much better dac than it has any right to. Da bits ain't wobblin like jell'o no-moh and da music is scwheet! Apparently it's all down to a snappier and more steady clock with quicker rise times as Gert hinted and a little clever digital "fly-wheel cum - turnstile" that marches them bits out regular like. But yes, untill such time as they develop something that can switch instantaneously without turning into a microwave oven or fm transmitter, digital is an analog system with squarish waves... and with all those artifacts Gert mentioned - he's been looking at the scope again! (Been trying to get my head around this stuff lately but without the requisite knowledge it is also just an analog waveform with some distortion!) Edit to add missing words and letters - gmfh, Bermuda shorts or triangle... [/QUOTE]
