Is usb reclocking necessary?

OP,

 

Thanks for the follow up. Good to know. 

You know, looking at your question again. The answer is clearly no, the Ayre is an excellent DAC so it is not necessary. You will likely enjoy a good turntable. While my Ayre is a good DAC, it does not approach a good analog end. There are so many great turntables out there… but don’t forget a great Phonostage is required to get the most out of a good turntable. I am just listening to an analog recording and marveling at its wonderful sound.

Great! You will really love the DAC. I have actually had mine since new more than 10 years ago, then upgraded it about a year ago to the twenty version. It really is an excellent DAC by today’s standards.

Interesting question. I have a QB9 Twenty as well. I am feeding it with an Aurender N100. Since the QB9 must depacketize and time the bits I wouldn’t think of that as an option, so I wouldn’t think it would. But absolutely every time I have thought something would not matter it has. Since there is a product to do it, someone thought so. I bet it does. Well, if you get it, let is know.
