Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC


I'm looking to improve the jitter control in my digital setup, which hopefully will create a more analogue presentation. I own a PS Audio PW Memory Transport, which sports a FPGA, and a Nuwave DSD DAC with a scaled-down version of the gate array.

   I have owned a Chord which uses this technology and it was like listening to analogue recordings. I sold it only because it's soundstage was very forward, like sitting in the front row of a concert hall. My current PS Audio setup has wide and deep imaging, as does my Atma-Sphere preamp.
   I have auditioned the Schiit Grundir and it was a bit too fast in the attack and transients, but had the dynamics and deep imaging that I like. So, I guess what I'm looking for is a unit with a laid-back, realistic musical presentation.

The Mytek Digital Stereo192 DSD and Blue Circle DAC are in my price range, but there is no way to audition them.
  So any recommendation and advice is appreciated. DSD preferred, budget is about $1200 used.

I have not auditioned the Mytek Stereo 192, but I can say the Mytek Brooklyn is my favorite among all $2k DAC's.

Best,

I agree with eric_squires and dlcockrum above. Try a Curious USB cable, which gave me the most 3-D soundstage I have heard from USB cables, as well as a rich, full bodied sound with no edge on top. I use it on my Brooklyn DAC, which is also never edgy or up-front. 

Had to step in here. Too good to pass up. Loads of good stuff on several digital fronts being expressed.

I would agree, it does not seem 'jitter' is the real issue.

looks like it is a matter more of or for, the DAC's presentation. Good luck finding the one which suits your preffs.



@dlcockrum > I’m sorry to hear of your current jeopardy with Harvey. God speed.
