Thanks again chayro, great info! What's weird is I actually "rebooted" the DAC as it seemed to be happening all of a sudden. I turned it off and pulled out the power cord. Waited like a minute then fired it up and didn't hear it again, so that seemed to work. This was 2 days ago, then yesterday it started again but ever so slightly and not near as bad when it first started...I'll unplug and reconnect the Toslink and the XLR IC's from the DAC and see what that does. If I hear again I'll try completely disconnecting the DAC like you said and see if it's the cd player...Really thanks again for taking the time to help:)!
Toslink cable that isn't prone to jitter, possible?
Hi All,
I posted this in cable forum as well. So I have an ancient Pioneer PD-F908 cd carousel. I just recently added the Schiit Bifrost 2 as my DAC, WOW! What a difference! However I tend to get some jitter now and then which from what I understand is normal when using Toslink (Coax is not an option with this cd player). I have read that the DH Labs Glass Master Toslink or the Lifatec Premium Silflex would be the way to go. I am currently using the Voodoo Lightwave Fiber Optic. This is my first DAC and also the first time I've gone Toslink. Again what the Bifrost has done is incredible, I am just hoping to eliminate the occasional jitter and heard these 2 cables may do it...Switching the cd player is not an option. I need a carousel and love this unit!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
