Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer

Thanks for the follow up and glad the Iris made an improvement.  The great thing is when you eventually get a streamer the Iris will still be a valuable asset that will continue to pay dividends.  Nice purchase. 

@soix My thoughts as well regarding future streamer purchase. Much would depend on the clock and output availability for that unit.

I'm not sure why would you add DDC instead of going for Denafrips streamer with all of the features for several hundreds more. You get all the benefits of DDC and you get streaming capability and eliminate noisy PC from lineup.

I use with Windows PC and it is a bit annoying. Occasionally, when PC sleeps, it loses connection to Iris when it wakes up. I have to disconnect and reconnect USB cable. Sound wise I can hear minor improvement over plain connection to Terminator. I suspect this is less to do with reclock and more with isolation of Terminator from USB noise.

@pegolea - full blown PC is way more convenient. If you don't use desktop then streamer is better. I personally sit at my desktop with 34" screen. It is easier to control Tidal right here, why would I need to fish up my phone and use app on a small screen?
