Well clock companies who sell ultra low phase noise clocks sell maybe 0.0001% of them to the high end audio industry. They couldn't care less about audio. For audio gear manufacturers, they mostly care about building a superior sounding product. Giving away all of their trade secrets, and paying for it, doesn't seem like a very fruitful endeavour to me. Better to sink that cash into marketing what audiophiles thank matters instead.
No ones giving away trade secrets, I don't understand your point there at all.
proving the audibly of close in jitter etc won't give away any secrets , it's certainly won't impact a chip manufacturer. All it will do is create more demand and add prestige ( not a lot lol) to their brand. It will also energise the sales of products that utilise that technology.
No, again the only 'risk' is it being proven not to be audible..
You are right though, it's not really the chips company's responsibility to prove audibly. That's the job of those who buy the chips and put them in audio products claiming they bring audible advantage.
These tests never happen because such folk don't need to take that 'risk' in order to sell their products.
We don't deal in that level of proof here at ASR, we known it's easy to promote a vested intrest. I'm not here selling anything, I'm here to keep standards of evidence.
That standard has not been met in terms of audibly of these jitter phenomenons .
