Squeezebox+Power Supply+Reclocker or???


OK so I really like my Squeezebox Touch, put the Teddy Pardo power supply on it a year or so back and it does a fine job running into my Metrum Octave DAC.

Was seriously considering the new Wyred For Sound reclocker as a possible upgrade but was doing the math and I'm well over a grand for the 3 pieces with cables and I'm wondering if I'm nuts do go this route when there are other streamers available.

Is there something out there right now that I should be considering instead?

Thanks,

Audiojedi, You're not, if you like your DAC. Jitter is the only thing that affects the sound on digital side (assuming unprocessed, bit perfect files). Empirical Audio also makes reclocker but I don't know how it compares with W4S. I would use coax between reclocker and the DAC - as short as possible ( 1.5m cable. Toslink makes you a little more exposed to system noise because of slower edges, but you might experiment with both.
