reclocking

First, USB interfaces vary in their jitter. Some are better than others. You should not need a reclocker with a good async USB converter.

Second, no DAC can eliminate jitter. In fact most DACs that reclock with upsampling can actually add jitter compared to a low-jitter USB converter feeding a DAC with no upsampling.

Its all about the quality of the clock and reclocking circuitry. Its like buying a tonearm cardridge. You get what you pay for.

Every usb interfaces manufacturer is claiming that his product is the best even the low cost ones.
What async interfaces is doing expect reclocking and why they should do it better than good quality DAC.

I'm just wondering why the industry is just rushing on solution that is not solving
the problem.Asynch is not fixing jitter issue but adding it to the data.

Jitter can't be completely eliminated because it's created at different stages(power supply,flow rate,cables ....).
In CD industry the physical jitter which was called the BLER had limit of 8% to be in red book spec . Jitter is part of digital audio starting from recording studio all the way down to even the best audiophile system you can find out there.

USB is also the poorest interface. Don't un derstand why so many are using it. it is horrible! anything is better than usb!
