Results variable depending on quality of interface/connection in streamer, dac and DDC. I too have found I2S superior to usb input on Laiv Harmony and Musetec 006, this with Denafrips Gaia DDC. Gaia has very nice OXCO clock with quality power supply for clocks.
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.
