What quality digital cable? Is it BNC-BNC with RCA adapters? If not, then it's not "quality", sorry. The only way to get a good termination to a coax is using BNC, not RCA. I make the best $275 coax cable. If you do use a USB converter, this cable should be on the output. Your USB cable is at least as important. Silver is best. I use a WW cable. Steve N.

More details. The Dunn J test is what Stereophile use. It is a worst case scenario. It exercises all bits and uses an LSB signal with a full output signal. https://www.ap.com/download/apx-j-test-jitter-measurement-utility/ If a device passes this test with flying colours then there is not much reason to be worried. Most devices do NOT pass this test well. All of the devices on Stereophile A+ list are excellent. |
