In Reply to: But the hard drive is a buffer. And it fixed the jitter. posted by Scrith on November 5, 2006 at 20:00:47:
HowdyLike I said in the last thread: TANSTAFL, you can't get around the math. If you try to use a hard drive as a short time buffer, you'll get jitter back in spades (tho it's not correlated to the input jitter), even if you use it as a long time buffer you have to deal with another buffer to smooth out the disk blocking and that buffer and its electronics will have its own jitter problems depending it's topologically connected to the DAC (e.g. the jitter effects of the horrible electromagnetic environment inside a PC.)
