Genesis Time Lens


Hi,
I am currently using a laptop (using foobar)USB out to a cheap USB to SPDIF converter and into a Genesis Time Lens and then to my CJ DAC. I figure, the Time Lens will clean up any issues coming from the laptop and the cheap USB to SPDIF converter.

I noticed a lot of the new DACs have USB input. Am what I am using today essentially the same as the newer DACs, but with more boxes?
Thanks!

Zd542,

I disagree. Take a look at other designers posts. Steve is simply self serving and constantly promotes his own products, constantly saying everyones digital woes will be gone if you :try my product for 30 days". Thats not right. We need him to chime in on engineering principals, educational matters and, yes, opinions...not self serving, directorial advertisments. Take a peak at Ralph Karsten (Atmasphere) posts. He is awesome. He adds value, gives info and you would never even know he makes some of the best amps out there. he never tells someone, "well, your soundstage would widen if you bought my amp...". And, he can.
Steve's answered many questions for me over the last couple of years and has never tried to sell me anything. And so what if he did? I'm an adult. I know how to say no if I don't want to buy something.

I like Ralph from Atmasphere very much as well. He has answered some questions for me also. And while he doesn't try to sell me anything either, he does list that he's with Atmasphere, and that's advertising. Its a good thing, too. Had he not mentioned his company, I probably wouldn't have looked to his web site for a new preamp I may need. The UV-1 looks perfect for a new system that I’m putting together.

Also, consider the current market for audio products. It's only natural that Steve gets involved in more posts that are relevant to his business. There's a very big demand for entry level, high end digital products like usb converters, reclockers and dacs. Add to that, his products all get good reviews, and that I can't recall anyone complaining about them here, or anywhere else. Maybe your experience is different with him, but I see nothing that would justify such hard criticism.
Hi
I got two(2)Genesis Time lens and connected them together to maximize their effect on jitter reduction.
Also got other little boxes,in the closet,SF Ultrajitterbugs and Monarchy DIP.
In regards to Steve,my observation is that I agree for the most part with Cerritos comments,but I also do say,we need Steve around to come in and explain digital artifacts.
I have been reading on this ticket for ages and still don't have a clue. Pardon me.
So Steve sure is trying to sell his product but why wouldnt he?
Personally I am done with the little boxes that clean up the signal, and cost more than double,the item they are trying to correct in the first place.
But hey others don't mind paying,right?
I saw Steve on YouTube video once,and yeah.he looks like a good guy to me.
All the best
