dcs debussy

Thanks Defride.

It seems the next immediate adversary for dCS is the EMM Labs.

will certainly pay more attention to DAC of the two

Adg243, fwiw I think this level dCS and EMM play in the same ballpark. Personal preference in terms of what emphasis one prefers and system matching are what will determine a preference between the players (as with everything).

For me I felt the dCS dug deeper in the bass but the EMM sounded more natural, more right in my system. I'd have been happy enough with either.

i really enjoy playing music through my mac mini running on amarra. DAC is mcintosh c48 connected through USB for its DAC.

Question:
1. I dont think i'll be able to audition any DAC to be used in my system at home before purchase. Does anyone think a master clock such as Puccini's will bring better sound?

2. will a better USB cable bring better sound qualities in similar way that power cord bring to one's system?

any input will be highly appreciated.

Fwiw,

I finally got Meitner MA1 and been using for couple of months and very happy with. Thanks for the recommendation for EMM as a source and led me to the Meitner

did anybody stack with problem of reclocking coax input? each 2-3 minutes interrupts
