Apogee Big Ben for Jitter reduction

I am considering an Apogee Mini-Dac -- AND -- wondering about combining it with a Big Ben -- for playback of AIFF files from my computer. How are you using your Big Ben?

Rsbeck:

I have 2 Big Bens. One is after my modified Wadia 270se and Genesis Digital Lens...and one is after my TacT RCS 2.0s. Both additions offered considerable improvement, presumably through reclocking and dejittering.

In regards to AIFF playback....I've copied a lot of my CD collection onto my computer and am playing it back through a Slimdevices squeezebox through the Genesis Lens and Big Ben. I'm amazed at how great the uncompressed AIFF sounds. Very close to the Wadia 270se....but not quite.

Isn't the lens and the Big Ben redundant? I just read up on the lens -- interesting product. But, don't you need to feed the signal from the lens to a DAC? Or, the signal from the Big Ben to a DAC? The Slimdevices Squeezebox in another interesting piece of gear -- just read up on that, too. Lots of great info -- thanks! Is there a way to feed a digital signal from my G4 Powerbook directly to the Lens? Do you use a DAC? You've got me excited at the prospect of turning my computer's hard drive into the transport for playback that can sound close to the Wadia. Is the squeezebox a necessary part of the chain?
