| USB yet again @designsfx I am not aware of any SPDif connections faster than 192KHz, conversely double AES/EBU can run at 384MHz | |
| USB yet again @sns my point, precisely. I also steuggle with dependence on cables and cleaned up power | |
| AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection @jerryg123 On Ethernet: Pink Faun. On USB: Intona | |
| USB yet again @itsjustme technically speaking it slaves the server’s clock, i.e. data is requested by the dac rather than the server sending it on its own clock. I stated that SPDif is speed constrained, not AES/EBU. | |
| USB yet again @fuzztone care to be less opaque and dismissive? | |
| USB yet again @lalitk agree with your assessment. It seems though pretty damning that both on Ethernet and USB even on high end equipment you have to engage in extensive optimisation efforts before you get a decent result. As I said the single box solution ... | |
| AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection May I suggest you try the USB connection? Properly implemented asynchronous USB has the advantage of using the Dac’s clock on the streamer, I.e. the dac times the arrival of data rather than having to buffer and decode the embedded clock signal. I... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? In terms of engineering brilliance and sheer transparency, timbre and attack Nobu Shishido’s Wavac designs are unequalled in my mind | |
| When were the best tube amps made? and an honorable mention to the OTL crowd: Futterman, Graaf, Ralph Carsten and Dave Berning | |
| When were the best tube amps made? The best amps were made when Japanese thoroughness joined American ingenuity: think Wavac, Shindo, Yamamoto, Kondo and nowadays Allnic, Zanden and Luxman | |
| The best plug in filter ever! This looks similar to Add Powr’s Eau2 or Eau4 as well as Stein Music’s Quantum5 | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @8th-note my streaming sounds better than my InnuOS Zenith Mk3 SSD. That may be a function of ripping. | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @8th-note I went from a substantially tricked out Mac Mini to an InnuOS Zenith Mk3 and the difference wasn’t small. Digital audio is all about power supplies and superior clocking. Can you try and run your computer from an audiograde LPS? Altern... | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @anzaanimalclinic +1, Etherregen also loves a good external clock | |
| Uptone EtherRegen The Er is wonderful, it gets even better with a fine LPS and a good master clock. |
