theta tlc between transport and dac benefit?

Hi Everyone
I was thinking of geting a used theta tlc to run between my teac p700 and a musical fidelity a324 ,would this unit be a benefit as some sources on the web say it actually increases jitter , and does the power supply upgrade make a significant improvement? thanks for any info. cheers Phil.

Yes it works, but ONLY when fed with HQ TosLink cable. The reason why it doesen't work whe way it should when fed with coax cable are the ground problems. There was a review in a hi-fi news a few years back with measurments to back up this theory, and they showed that when fed with TosLink it reduced jitter up to 80%, and when fed with coax cable it increased the total jitter.

A friend of mine uses TLC between his Marantz CD63 KI CDP and Theta DS Pro Basic IIIa with good resoults.

IMO, the Monarchy DIP is better though, anc costs anly 30$ more.

If you want the bes in jitter reduction, I would sugest getting Genesis Digital Lens as I did. It costs 500$ used.
