Does Aurender do Processing on S/PDIF Outputs?


 


Does anyone know if an Aurender N100C does signal processing on its S/PDIF outputs, other than the obvious decoding/unpacking of file data and then modulating the electrical signal?  I just put the streamer in place and hear clear differences in tonal characteristics from my previous streamer (some good, some not so good),

I haven't had time time to make measurements, but I would not expect, for instance, a loss of low bass.

Any insight on Aurender streamer internals that could affect sound would be appreciated.

My N200 currently with my present DAC sounds better through SPDIF.   It is a function of the DAC using the Aurender's clock instead of it's own.   With USB the clock within the DAC is used
