I have a Hermes sitting in front of my Pontus II 12th and it made a difference. I don’t know at what point it stops making a difference but it made one at the level of my components. The clock in the DDC is better than the clock in the DAC so that certainly plays a part as well as using the I2S connection.
At what level of Streamer and Dac does a DDC add no sonic benefit?
Seeing a number of new DDC’s coming to market, which are seeing good reviews, but mostly on use with entry level Streamers and DAC’s. Will a DDC add benefit to a Innuos Zen Mk3 running with a Denafrips T2 12. I realize a DDC offers different connection options besides USB only from the Innuos, but will there be sonic improvements? Appreciate any insights. Many thanks.
