Genesis digital lens

I think that in modern times the digital lens is more of a collector's item than a real benefit.

The better DAC's in the last 10-15 years have outstandingly good jitter rejection already, most likely much better than the DL could do. 

Mytek, Brooklyn, and others are in the reasonably affordable and amazingly good jitter rejection camp. I'm sure there are others. 

As always I can count on you Agoners to give me great and thoughtful advice. Thanks. You’re a a fantastic bunch!!!

The Digital Lens was developed long before the likes of Geoff Kait (Machina Dynamica) realized a major problem was/is the laser light scatters all around the insides of the transports

I remember some 20 years ago, a company that sold small metal caps that fit over the laser with small holes to focus the laser (like an aperture). I used one on my TOP LOADING Audio Alchemy transport, and later on my TL CEC transport. They worked extremely well


Geoff's New DARK Matter is a smokey plastic type wafer material that one cuts to size and affixes to the cd tray. By far the best $39 one can spend to improve digital sound. That, plus his springs which minimize vibrations, placed under each component is another giant leap

Sorry, I meant to type Mytek, Benchmark and others...

Assuming you are using the Wadia as a transport into a DAC, I doubt that any transport is so good that the Lens can not improve its output.  As pointed out above, it is only useful on 16/44.1.

I still use my Digital Lens.  It is particularly helpful on the output from my cable box.
