Who guarantees the 0 and 1 sent are correctly?
not the DAC receiving it. I just had a scenario with a wireless signal to my laptop Tidal App (MQA) > coax > DAC was garbled. The 0 and 1s where being sent otherwise no sound. But the DAC just took and played what it was sent.
The dac is known to be very good with identifying the quality of the signal and sending to one of two filters for processing. But it just processed the bad signal.
The USB cable didn't have anything to do with this problem, but that did make me realize the DAC doesn't know good from bad.
ill audition multiple $100,$200,$300 cables and make my mind up it it sounds better than the $24 one. There are many forums where people have positive results from regens.w4sound, LPs to ignore.
