Best means of isolating digital equipment i.e. DACs, CD transports, wall warts etc.
I am trying to use language that he will understand, using his particular vernacular, except i tend to be more targeted where he just insults everyone :-) cal37131,132 posts01-10-2021 9:57pm@audio2design It would make the forums a better place if you could post disagreements and corrections without appending personal attacks. |
putting the DAC on the clean or dirty side depends on two or three issues. Linear or switching power supply?, Switch = dirty Ladder or chip ?, IF chip with Faraday cage = clean, IF not then dirty Chip vs. analog display or switching ? see ARC and Aesthetix defeat of those w improved sonics, otherwise = dirty finally listen always use a quality power conditioning and a dedicated line for dirty |
but to come back and nail down your question a bit more. In my reference system I have essentially 3 dedicated circuits back to the panel for audio: Low level analog w power conditioning, Digital wall warts, server ( even w linear supply as it has no Faraday cage ) , streamer, network switch all on a seperate line and power conditioning, finally monoblocks w no conditioning on a third line ( split from 240 ). experiment and listen |
