@leemaze, Agon member jond recommended Audio Note after i posted a qwery about NOS dacs. Border Patrol and AN looked the most promising and as luck would have it, a dealer was selling a 2.1 Signature in XL condition. There was a 3.1 available, but I couldn't swing the extra cash.
Regarding the iPurifier, every member here stated that it will not perform well with the stock wall-wart. It needs a linear PS with fast regulation and control of ripple current. There's a lot of info in the archives.
I contacted Steve N. and the Synchro-mesh seems to be the best reclocker on the market today. I could have gone in that direction, but decided to first increase my budget and buy a better DAC. I have the PS Audio PWT, so my source is providing a well clocked data stream.
You should check the archives about the iPurifier before giving up on it, it's only $150 plus the cost of a linear PS. Or go directly to the Synchro-mesh.
