For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock?
I've been enjoying this dac for several months now. I have tried USB and COAX and now I2S.
There is a noticeable improvement in each of these inputs. I have read many of the discussions here regarding both DDC and external clocks. I am wondering which of these would give more bang for the buck. The Gustard goes very well with my tube amps.
I am considering the LHY OCK 1 or 2 for clocks and undecided for the DDC.
that's the exact decision I made last night! ...and you said the same thing as Beatechnik did! I prefer using MacBook Pro to Phasure Lush usb to the Douk U2 Pro with Atlas Mavros Coax to the Gustard R26. I am looking for that Harmonic Tech bnc cable still but have also ordered one LMR 400 from aliexpress. |
@peareye Nice one. Let us know how you get on once it arrives. Understood re your preference for using USB > DDC > R26, I was asking about how your MacBook connects to the internet as I've found that network chain improvements upstream of my Mac Mini bring clearly audible improvements irrespective of which input I use on the R26. The ifi LAN iSilemcer is one of the simplest and most effective such tweaks I've tried. |
