Forget all that stuff. Pitch it all out and get a set of the Dutch & Dutch 8c. Not only are these loudspeakers amplified, they have built-in DAC and DSP EQ. All you need are them and a digital source like a laptop, an iPad or even just your cell phone with Roon.This sounds like the question I either asked, or was thinking… which was, “What about a Lyngdorf TDAI 1120 ?”.
The Dutch-n-Dutch sounds even easier.
I suppose it would be appreopriateto ask if we should go halves? ;)
Wireworld makes nice fiber optic cables made from glass.Well We’ve been to the Corning museum in 2018. Whether is It glass or plastic, the physics is the same over the short haul. I am skeptical that one can “hear” glass as being more transparent.
JasonBourne says..‘The same thing applies to cables. Cheap here works just as well as expensive. A $10 Monoprice digital cable is indistinguishable from a three or four figure <digit (sic)> cable - regardless of what the "golden ears" crowd claims.’Well 3 or 4 digits is most of the way to a fist, which seemed like it was his point.
And I doubt that the manufactures are not using 2000 $/foot cables inside of their gear.
Fiber optic provides complete isolation from the noise in the power supply of the sending unit. Coax does not. Galvanic and isolation transformers still pass noise through the ground.Ok so we are not talking about digit noise as in the bits are getting bit error rates > 0, but traditional analogue circuit noise being passed left to right through the signal chain?
(If so, I think I get it now… thanks!)
I must beg to disagree with any reclocking naysayers.When there is a measurable difference in dither, then I would have to agree with you. If the particular device has a clock that is as stabile or more stabile than the reclocker, then that make the reclocking appear to not work… or not be needed. So asynchronous (file based), with a buffers, would seem to remove a lot of that need?
