Hi Archimago. A...Suggestion for Jitter Measurement<br /><br />Hi Archimago. As I mentioned in a reply in a former blog, that I enjoy reading your posts, to give a different sight of view, on some technical aspects.<br /><br />If you like, you may have a look at the software HpW-Works. This is for me for making home brew Jitter measurements the best software to do this.<br /><br />http://www.hpw-works.com/JR_Audiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547557948411188806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-78569270367524445542014-03-26T08:29:30.093-07:002014-03-26T08:29:30.093-07:00Thanks again Frans,

Whi...Thanks for the Geek measurements link, Simon.<br /><br />While I can't speak for the devices since I've never tried them, I think there's something wrong with the Dragonfly measurements... Looks like they're clipping it with THD+N up at >5%! Don't know if this is what happens to the Dragonfly at 100% volume or an issue with the measurements they did. Likewise, that 5kHz Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-32816353945575949012014-03-21T12:38:17.780-07:002014-03-21T12:38:17.780-07:00Thanks, you too!

I'll warn you, crossfeed can make it feel like there is less separation and thus less detail or "accuracy" but it ends up being wayyyy less fatiguing for me. The first 30 or 60 minutes might be kinda weird. Try using it for a few days and see if you don't forget that it's there.Simónhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07143821255195175737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-14767399816175082122014-03-21T12:34:50.429-07:002014-03-21T12:34:50.429-07:00Thanks for the note Simon!

I'll give the JRiver crossfeed a try tonight.

Lets you get good sound whether it's from a work computer, home desktop, netbook, whatever. Plus there is the option of connecting to smartphones and tablets with things like Apple's Camera Connection Kit. Lastly, a tactile interface can sure be nice sometimes.<br />I backed the Geek Out (Simónhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07143821255195175737noreply@blogger.com
