New Denafrips recklocker/converters: IRIS and GAIA

Got it. Could end up with lots of boxes though. Roon core or server, with separate power supply, buffer, dedicated endpoint, and dac. Then there’s the router and network stuff, or lots of cat five cable to connect them to your other boxes  My wife just calls them boxes, saying how many boxes do you really need?

I was proposing dropping the dedicated endpoint and using your server as the renderer/endpoint as well, and then using one of these between the server and DAC to provide isolation and reclocking. So it would basically replace the dedicated endpoint with the digital-to-digital converter. The downside of this is that the server would have to be close to your DAC since USB is not designed for long distances. And this is all assuming you are using Roon. 

got It. Srajan is reviewing GAIA now 

I see these products accept clock inputs around 45mhz. Any idea why they chose these rates? The most commonly used rate in audio studio master clocks is 10mhz, as well as multiples of 44.1 to 192khz. Also, can the multiple outputs on these products be used simultaneously? In my system it would be useful to operate USB and AES/EBU outputs simultaneously-- one to a DAC and the other to a digital recorder.

Interesting products, I'm looking to improve my streaming and have been looking at the following:

1. Reclocker
2. DIGIONE SIGNATURE PLAYER
3. Dedicated streamer 

I currently use a Dell laptop which does the job but I suspect that it can be improved on. Will simply adding a reclocker get me to the same results as a quality dedicated streamer? The Digione is basically a stripped down computer and acts like a budget streamer. The Dell does the job but my CA CXC transport beats it, what's needed to get my streamer better than the CXC? My DAC is the Audio Mirror Tubadour SE so I do not need a streamer with a DAC.
