Looking for a DAC that has..
More questions regarding synchro-mesh if you don't mind, sir. :) What is the preferable interface cable, optical or coaxial? With synchro-mesh being able to output (24/96) max, is it safe to assume there aren't any audible difference? My understan...

HI Steve,Again, thanks for the explanation. I'm fairly new to all these computer audio stuffs and having people like you around these forums is a great help.I think I'm ready to try Synchro-Mesh. Someone mentioned it has 30-day trial, is it true? ...

Also, Steve, can you please explain why the internal reclocking won't be as effective as an outboard clocker like Synchro-Mesh?

Maybe also get a mod from Modwright when they offer it for 105. They have done it for 83, 93 and 95. No reason to think they won't be for 105.

Hi Steve and Edorr,Excellent point. It gives me a lot more to think about. A quick google search on Esoteric D07 internal reclocking turned up pretty much nothing. Even the two reviews from Absolute Sound and Stereophile do not mention much about ... 
SSD Type Drives Better?

Hi Steve and Edorr,Thanks for the suggestion. Very intrigued by Synchro-Mesh.I should have clarified this earlier. I do have a Pass XP-10 linestage that has HT bypass. As good as it sounds with XP-10 in the signal chain esp. in soundstaging (compa... 
Oppo 95 vs. Mac Mini + dac
Hi Kijanki,I have Focal Electra (beryllium tweeter) and Pass amps. I have a feeling it might not be a good match with Benchmark. :(Are you familiar with Esoteric D-07 dac? It has an internal master clock (same as asynchronous reclocker?). I couldn...

Hi Steve,Thanks for the info. It's very valuable. This just opens up whole other dimension for my dac search.One more thing, I posted the following for you in other thread "appleTV vs. logitech SB". I have AppleTV feeding to my Electrocompaniet ec... 
Oppo 95 vs. Mac Mini + dac
Correction: Using iTunes Match, music is NOT streaming from iMac upstairs. It should be from my Airport Extreme router in the same room as AppleTV, wirelessly.From what you said, Kijanki, it sounds to me like you'd prefer a DAC with jitter suppres... 
Oppo 95 vs. Mac Mini + dac
Hi Kijanki,Thanks for the reply.I do not plan to add a Mac Mini if AppleTV can still be configured for high audio fidelity. I currently stream music from my iMac upstairs to AppleTV using iTunes Match.The only reason I'm considering Mac Mini is be... 
Oppo 95 vs. Mac Mini + dac
Thanks for the comments. It seems I should get a mac mini and do a comparison before making any decision. 
32-bit dac
Are 32-bit dacs significantly better than 24-bit ones? 
Logitech Touch vs Apple TV
Hi Steve,I have AppleTV feeding to my Electrocompaniet ecd1 dac. I recently added Oppo 95 and find that using its USB input with flash drive improves the SQ in details, tonality (except midrange) and most significantly soundstage. Obviously Oppo's...
