DDC Recomendations

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

The Laiv has a switch mode power supply.

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.

I believe you're looking at the uDDC footnote under "External Master Clock Input" referring to *For USB and I²S inputs only.

That footnote is for sample rates, and is unrelated to the external clock input. See the * for sample rate...no * related to clock input:

High Sampling Rate Support

• PCM: Supports resolutions up to 768kHz*

• DSD: Handles formats up to DSD512*

External Master Clock Input

• Seamless integration with an external 10MHz master clock for precision synchronization.

*For USB and I²S inputs only.

ah okay. Great because this little baby would be exactly what I'm after.
