Do this experiment first: Play a track from 2 different digital sources or from the same source using two different coax cables to your DAC. If you hear ANY difference, then your situation will benefit from a reclocker. This one is the best, based on measurements and customers feedback. http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=154039.0 It is also crucially important that you use the best coax cable you can afford to the DAC. All cables add jitter, the question is: how much? See these jitter measurements for different cables: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=154425.0 The BNC-BNC cable is the place to start. Add 75 ohm RCA adapters if needed. Steve N. Empirical Audio |
If you want a great working player that functions as a transport and is built very well look at a used Esoteric DV60 this player has a steel remote control, and no your not getting the renowned NEOVRDS transport it dosent cost 8K either. Highly recommend for use as a transport. The built in DAC’s sound very "digital" and not very warm or musical. Used prices have come down on these to around $1200. http://www.esoteric.jp/products/esoteric/dv60/indexe.html Matt M |
