I currently have a PS3 that I use as a blu-ray/DVD player. I use the HDMI output for video and audio. Will there be any difference in sound quality between a PS3 and a player like the Oppo BDP-83 or Oppo BDP-80 if audio is bitstreamed (including HD audio like True HD and Master audio) to an Integra DHC 40.1 or 80.1 pre-amp?
I have read here that jitter can have an effect on the sound quality. Also it appears that jitter is not an issue if you bitstream. Why is this so?
Ignoring video, is there anything in the BDP-83 or BDP-80 that will make it a better performer in terms of audio quality while bitstreaming audio compared to the PS3?
Does coax SPDIF have lower jitter than HDMI audio for DD and DTS sources? Again why would this even matter if bitstreaming circumvents the jitter issue?
Does an Integra DHC 80.1 have built in dejitter circuits like the legendary Lexicon MC-1s?
Usually when talk about bitstreaming vs decoding in player, or jitter etc comes up, it turns into a subjective war at time. Please avoid any subjective discussions. I am looking for a good solid technical explanation for these questions. Would appreciate your participation if you have any insight.
Thanks,
