DDC Recomendations

Hi

 

I’m looking for a DDC that has USB, Coax and 10 HMz Word Clock inputs with a I2S output at a minimum of 768KHz PCM and 512 DSD. So far the Denafrips Hermes comes closest but its word clock input only works with their Terminator DAC.

Thanks!

I don’t think that’s true that the Hermes only works with the Terminator.  If you want to sync the ddc with an external master clock you can do that.  If you are saying that you want to sync the ddc with an internal clock on your DAC then you might be correct.

Are you sure? The clock inputs on the Hermes show 45.1548MHz  and 49.152Mhz and it says connects to the Terminator. I wanted to use it with a CD Transport. Sync the CD Transport, DDC and DAC. The CD Transport and DAC state 10MHz.

No I am not sure.  I recall a video from Alvin Chee at Vinshine where he discusses using an external master clock with the Hermes but he may have been talking only about the Denafrips master clock.
