Metronome Labs: can I get at least one post

The Absolute Sound reviewed Metronome T-20 transport and C-20 DAC in issue #125.

correction issue #123

in regards to low jitter in the Theta Data 2, I run mine into a Genesis Digital Lens which gives a jitter readout, FWIW, the jitter reading is quite a bit higher than my Audiomeca Mephisto 1. The Theta is around 33, the Mephisto is 4. Although, with the Genesis Lens, the #s are irrelevant, the Data w/o the Lens in theory would have hight jitter. I dont think the fact that the huge LD clamp has anything to do with the units Jitter......lastly, the Theta is a great sounding unit regardless of Jitter. I run it into an Audiologic 34 DAC.

Justlisten - thanks for the info. I have no way of measuring jitter - guess it was a presumption as to why the EAD T1000 (I believe it is the same transport mechanisim as the Data 2) sounds so darn good. As a transport only, it killed my Mephisto II. You seem to have quite a few thoughts as to what doesn't contribute to the sound quality of these transports but - do you have any idea why it sounds so good?

The Audiologic is a good DAC.
