Hi all,
Just wondering whether anyone here can explain something thats been bothering me for a week or so now.
I am wondering how (and I guess ultimately IF) upgrades in the digital domain, such as "better" digital interconnects or upgraded digital power supplies make a difference.
Before elaborating, let me be clear; I understand how upgraded power in analog sections makes a difference... audio is all about modulating the power supply through a set of speakers.
I also understand how jitter reduction prevents spurious spectral components rearing their ugly heads.
What I don't get, is how a "better" digital interconnect adds more "air", for example.
In the digital domain, it is about recovering 0s and 1s and either you can with regularity, in which case the sound should be OK, or you can't, in which case the sound would be shyte.
Please shed some light. I'm a digital (cellular) communications eng. and there is nothing in all the theory I've learnt and forgotten that suggest why Chris ven Haus' Pulsar Interconnect should sound better (as a digital IC) than any other well constructed $5 digital IC, yet many reviewers would have me believe it is so.
Thanks...
Mark
