Anyone has heard the Bel Canto REFLink Asynchronou

A2x024, I will have to revisit the st fiber vs spdif. My first brief comparison had
too many variables in the chain. I have recently had a power outage, and the
Reflink can take up to 180 hours to settle in after shut off. Also, I was using the
inexpensive Stereovox digital cable. I will have to plug in my Synergistic Research D2 RCA cable in the mix.

As for USB cables I have auditioned several. A Wireworld cable at around 1000$. A DH labs at around 60$. A Synergistic Research at 500$. In my system, I did not hear a big difference between the DH labs and the wire world.
Now the Synergistic Research Tesla cable is in a different league. More air and sweeter highs. Highly recommended. My power cord is the Synergistic Research Hologram D. It is also amazing. Another finishing tough is Stillpoints
footers.

I have a wyred 4 sound dac-2 which has the asych usb. Anyone tried one of these convertors or similar with the wyred. What were the differences observed and do you feel the price was justified? Right now I prefer the toslink out of the mac mini to the usb. Thanks

I have the Reflink and Wyred DAC-2. The Reflink is a significant upgrade in terms imaging, detail, and transparency. I use the Reflink's AES/EBU output to the Wyred DAC-2.

Mofojo,

I think it's worth digging past threads a bit. I recall several people saying your DAC was a stellar performer when fed through the I2S input by a high quality USB converter. I remember the Off-Ramp was one, because Steve Nugent suggested this way before it was mentioned in these forums. But I also recall the Off-Ramp was not the only one.

Have fun hunting that data.
