One DAC I saw reviewed (I can't remember which one but it was
expensive!) made the comment that it was so sensitive, it would reveal
the differences between digital cables. What this meant was that it had
such an appallingly engineered receiver that there was no reclocking of
data, and pattern jitter on the cable went uncorrected. So much for "so
sensitive", crap actually.

It *was* 'sensitive' - the problem was that it shouldn't have been! :-)
