DDC Recomendations


Hi

 

I’m looking for a DDC that has USB, Coax and 10 HMz Word Clock inputs with a I2S output at a minimum of 768KHz PCM and 512 DSD. So far the Denafrips Hermes comes closest but its word clock input only works with their Terminator DAC.

Thanks!

I have spotted one downside. The external clock output only works with i2s and USB. Not coax which is what I really need it for. I emailed Denafrips about using an external clock with the Hermes.

Are you sure? The clock inputs on the Hermes show 45.1548MHz  and 49.152Mhz and it says connects to the Terminator. I wanted to use it with a CD Transport. Sync the CD Transport, DDC and DAC. The CD Transport and DAC state 10MHz.

Thanks for the heads up on the Laiv Harmony uDDC. That looks like exactly what I'm looking for.

For anyone who’s interested Denafrips confirmed with me that the clock inputs on the Hermes can only be used with 49 and 45 MHz clock inputs, basically only the Terminator dac.
