Innuos - New Re-Clocker

Not surprising dpac996 most modern well implemented DAC’s have strenuous noise reduction and reclocking as the clock closest to the DAC chip will give the very best results. Even the $2000 Benchmark DAC 3 isolates then reclocks it has one of the best jitter reduction implementations with its UltraLock 3 used on all inputs. Another thing to remember about jitter if it has been put into the stream with an ADC nothing can resolve it and in your home network that digital stream is created by remodulation in your $120 modem.

sure. Speaker cables: Transparent Audio Super Speaker Generation 5
usb cable: Audience Au24 /se and a wire world (forget model)
xlr: Analysis Plus Super crystal oval something . I love this cable. Had bunch of xlrs over time. Something just right about AP

power cable to isotek Aquarius evoiii: Shunyata NRV10
power cable to Aurender: Analysis Plus power somethingPower cable to pass: stock! Yep. Can’t beat it and tried Cardas Clear Beyond, Isotek Optimum, others. Just perfect as is. All the others do weird things to the midrange. I’ll probably keep trying stuff but so far nothing has made me want to replace stock.

Circuit to system: dedicated 20A; have a Furetech super special job sitting in my drawer and PS audio upgraded Hubble hospital grade in the wall.

Had Cardas clear reflection speaker and interconnect prior to this stuff above.

rack is maple shades Samson
10 Vicoustic acoustic diffusers

Tomorrow I take delivery of m scaler...looking forward to testing that out!

@djones51
i think the Aurender n10 has a super clean USB implementation because I heard no difference with that into the chord tt2.

I would be curious if others tried this combo.

@dpac996   Thank you! I'm also an Analysis Plus fan. Still use a couple of their power cables.

The AQ DragonFly is something. I have the Red. Once I get back into portable headphones, the Cobalt is a given.

Looking forward to your findings with the M Scaler in the chain.

@dpac996,

Thank you for posting your results. I am not surprised by the outcome given your great system. I am staying put with my N10/EMM Labs DA2 combo 😊

Btw, I totally understand what @stevehuff is saying;
The way the improvement has been described (I read a ton about this reclocker) was what I heard massively on my Cobalt; I was super looking forward to a similar thing on the home system. I did hear that magic a bit on the InnuOs Zen and would have kept that if I was planning on Zen forever, but I just love the Aurender as is; it is a really great piece. I really like InnuOs and loved the zen for 5 months give or take.
If InnuOs released a variant with this reclocker circuit board stuffed inside it would be a class leader; They could still sell the standalone but for Pete’s sake they should stick it in the next Zen series and save us audiofools another usb cable, another power cable, another box.
peace all
