I am planning to start using the CD ROM drive on my computer as a transport, and then take the SPDIF out of the CD ROM Drive through a Jensen Video Transformer into my DAC. I have called Plextor and submitted numerous questions on the SPDIF output of the CD ROM Drive to Plextor and they have given non responses.
The questions I have are on the quality of the SPDIF output drive, ( is this a typical gate driving choke divider and resistor, or is it a real 75 ohm driver?) Is the clocking inside the CD ROM Drive good enough to keep the jitter down to acceptable levels? There is CIRC error correction, but that's about all the info I got out of Plextor.
If anyone has some answers to these questions or know where I can get answers I would be grateful. The Plextor web site is really lacking in this area, as far as I can tell.
Thanks;
d.b.
