According to Stereophile, the jitter rejection of the Brooklyn DAC is superb (unlike their tests of Schiit products). So it should not be necessary to buy a Schiit Eitr.

More details. The Dunn J test is what Stereophile use. It is a worst case scenario. It exercises all bits and uses an LSB signal with a full output signal. https://www.ap.com/download/apx-j-test-jitter-measurement-utility/ If a device passes this test with flying colours then there is not much reason to be worried. Most devices do NOT pass this test well. All of the devices on Stereophile A+ list are excellent. |
I have customers with DAC's that passed J-test with flying colors and still benefitted from low-jitter sources. The current state of measurements is abysmal IMO. The state-of-the-art in reproduction electronics has left the measurements in the dust. No good correlation now. How many reviews in Stereophile have you read where the listener loves the component and JA measurements are crap? I can remember more than one. Steve N. Empirical Audio |
