Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL?


I don't know if i should purchase one or not?

I don't have a 24 MXL but i will have my Altis upgraded which will be the equivelent of the A.L. Jerry say's any upsampler into the MXL will degrade the sound since the dac upsamples automatically. I bought a DCS Purcell and sold it two months later because of this fact.
Tabl10s -> BigBen is a Jitter Reducer, not an upsampler.

BTW - anyone compared Genesis Digital Lens vs Apogee BigBen ?
I wouldn't waste my money, & keep Big Ben away from Big Jerry's Dac. I like to play too, & feel like a Audio Pimp in training lately as I took a Sonic Frontiers Jitterbug in trade not too long ago. It actually degraded the sound of the AL 24 mxl somewhat. The biggest improvements have been tube rolling with Siemens, & a pair of Harmonix Gp-101 Xlr's from the dac to pre. I would give Jerry Ozment a call, as he will not steer you wrong, & answer any questions you may have on his product 203-796-0648. If you order a AL 24 mxl the Balanced Xlr output $500.00 option is a major improvement over single ended, & a more valid upgrade than a non necessary jitter reducer in my opinion. Have Fun!

It was late when i posted this morning..i know it's not an upsampler. Is anyone using any type of Isolation device with their dac?
Yes, it sits atop a piece of 3/8" thick green egde acrylic with AQ big feet below. Any piece of tube gear will appreciate some sort of vibration isolation.
