Advantages of MinimStreamer

[mccormw]

I don't think jitter has any affect because these players are in affect asynchronous with respect to the music stream. They have a buffer and thus read from this buffer, so they MUST be doing their own timing, ie they re-clock the data from the buffer. No way could you impose synchronous behavior across a buffer. IMHO

As someone said earlier NAIM themselves say that the noise floor can be raised by the extra processing of FLAC files and this might affect the sound quality. That is the reason they give.
