Question:

Your web site includes too many "hand waving" arguments to convince me of the truth of what you are saying.

LessLoss Reply:

We do hope to have made a few eye-opening statements. You know, there are a lot of people out there who still think that jitter is not such a big problem, or that it is something that we just have to live with. What a wrong attitude! Then they put vacuum tubes and transformers all over the system and aren't capable of hearing the horrible jitter artifacts because the signal is then swamped with other types of distortion. Such a solution is very popular indeed, and perhaps that is why you may feel that our position is "hand waving."

We really do stand by what we say. Please keep the questions coming, and we will provide the answers to the best of our ability. We understand that the State-of-the-Art in audio reproduction is precicely the maximum avoidance of all types of distortion, not the coloring and tailoring of sound to a "taste" or "fasion." That is what the art of music itself is for.
