Wondering if Steve would like to comment.  The Off Ramp is in line for async.

Looks as if about everything is compared except how they sound.

Lots of misinformation there.  Jitter specs mean very little.

Looks like their product is a HiFace with a wall-wart.

From the Empirical Audio website:
 
"Jitter is the number one problem limiting the performance of digital audio"

Which in no way contradicts the statement that "jitter specs mean very little". Note it doesn't say, "jitter means very little". The specs are the problem, as apparently there isn't a standard way to measure them and compare them, so you can have 2 different measurements from the same equipement and both are "ACCURATE"-just not done the same way.

thanks, couldn't have said it better myself.

I would only add that the spectrum of the jitter is probably more important than the magnitude, and there have been no studies to show which spectra are more objectionable for listeners.

Or as someone once paraphrased  "first there are lies, then damn lies, and finally there are specifications".
