Ethernet Clocking

DSP doesn't create serious issues with SQ. Where do you come up with this stuff? How many AD and DA converters are you using that an external clock is needed? 

@djones51,

as usual barking up the wrong tree: just try Roon with and without DSP. If you can‘t hear the difference, I can‘t help you. And the clocking issues I am talking about definitely have nothing to do with synchronising different DACs. Tiresome…

I have tried Roon with and without DSP, I also have DSP in my speakers. I never said you can’t hear differences. I was questioning the notion it creates serious issues with SQ. I am sure it can if you haven’t the slightest idea what you’re doing. Nowsdays DSP should be in every system if you really want state of the art audio reproduction. You evidently don’t understand clocking in digital in properly designed DACs for the last 20 years.

@antigrunge2 ,

Schitt is trying to sell you stuff. They didn't even have proper measurement tools till quite late. I have no hesitation based on that guessing I know more about clocking and what it does. Did you mean DCS?  Once they understood who I was they would say much different things to me than you.

Do you have any tube gear?

Your comment on DSP unfortunately makes your ability to participate effectively in this conversation difficult. Tubes, your speakers, reflections, sound absorbing, and any number of things create far more uncontrolled non linear "processing" than an ADC/DSP/DAC of some quality ever will.

One of the reasons I like and respect Nelson Pass is he makes no excuses or false explanations for purposely using non linearity (distortion}. Don't believe everything you are told.

My full system is on this thread. I will not further engage in any discussion with both of you. Your church and mine on what sounds good are too far apart.
