Any old transport including your existing one will do if it's followed by a Synchro-Mesh reclocker and a Standard BNC cable. 7 psec of jitter and upsamples to 24/96. $974. You will not find this in ANY transport. All that matters in a transport is the signal quality and jitter. Steve N. Empirical Audio |
I have modded the CEC, Sony, Electrocompaniet, Mark Levinson and many other transports over 10 years to improve their jitter. My modded Sony DVP-7700 was a reference for many years. None of these are as good as the Synchro-Mesh added to a transport. If you want the best performance, this is it. The added bonus is you get 24/96 upsampling and galvanic isolation, so no ground-loop. 30-day money-back, less shipping. If you believe that somehow transports impart some sort of magic on the audio, you are simply wrong. It's ONLY about jitter, signal integrity and impedance matching. 99% of transports don't deliver on these. Steve N. Empirical Audio |
@maritime51 - Simple. Just use a 1.5m coax cable from your Rotel Transport digital coax output to the Synchro-Mesh input and a second high-quality 1.5m coax cable from the Synchro-Mesh output to any DAC coax input. The output of the DAC is left and right channel analog. A few transports actually have digital coax input, so you can use the transport and the DAC in the same component and reclock the signal for improved clarity and imaging. Steve N. Empirical Audio |
I read up in this Synchro-Mesh component you make. Very interesting stuff I never knew about how these things work. Is this product made by many other brands, or are you pretty much the only one sells them? Many other companies have reclockers. None like the Synchro-Mesh though. See the jitter measurements: https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=157348.0 There are 2 fundamental things that make a good audio system and everything else is secondary: Quality speakers and synergy with the amplifier and an excellent source. The SM provides the excellent source. Everything of course matters to some extent as it is a system. Steve N. |
