| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @timo62 Yes you can use the Mutec but it only has USB in, no USB out. These means you can't play native DSD. BTW I would be interested to hear from anyone who has compared the IFI iSilencer to the Audioquest Jitterbug. Thanks | |
| Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable Supra are so so cables. Maybe consider a Furutech CAT 8 NCF or a WireWorld 8 CAT 8 Starlight. Both very reasonably priced, the Furutech being a tad warmer. WireWorld 8 CAT 8 Platinum is excellent but very detailed and probably too bright for you. | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? These dongles do work but it's very much on a case by case basis. I bought an original IFI iSilencer a few years back when I was ripping CDs and got a poor result from it when using it in series with my USB cable. Fast forward to last week I foun... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Well the Bricasti is $10K, 11K with network card vs $3K for the 005. The Bricasti also has a built in preamp, how was that issue handled during the test? I don't believe it's possible to bypass the preamp or feed the 005 into the Bricasti preamp? ... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @curiousjim That would not be a problem, provided you have a USB input and you are feeding from a USB output, but it would probably be better if you chose one of the Denafrips DDCs first because they have clock connections. Then if you really wan... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @tjag That's correct, no re-clocker. I used a Mutec 3+USB for several years using my laptop as source and it served me well but it can't play DSD. I now use an Aurender N20 as my source. The Musetec 005 clocks internally and when I tried the Mut... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @tjag A new question then, how good is sound over the I2S? :) I use I2s with a USB to I2s DDC, I've been very happy with it and am only trying out the SOtM USB Ultra as an experiment for a friend. However the SOtM is bringing something into ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC This damn dac just wants to lead me down this path where everything feeding it needs to be SOTA. Yes it will and it can, with ease. I am currently testing a SOtM USB Ultra with the 005. However to get the most out of digital you need a master ... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? I am currently testing a SOtM tX-USBultra USB Audio Reclocker on behalf of a friend. So far there's plenty of additional detail at the expense of being a bit shouty but I'm sure that'll work itself out during the burn-in. Remember you'll need an... | |
| Desperately seeking some advice/tips for my S.M.S.L. SU-9 DAC PCM Filter: Slow Linear or Slow Minimum DSD Filter: 70kHz Cutoff Sound Color: Standard - Then have a play to see if you prefer another setting DPLL: 1, move up if it doesn't work. | |
| Synergistic Research Purple UEF Duplex - receptacle Hi Steve, No I haven't compared the Power House to QSA fuses as I said they are incredibly detailed, much more than SR Purple. I think having more than one in a system would be too much. | |
| High Fidelity Cables? There are lot of people poking their noses into business that doesn't concern them. You Nosey Parkers should be asking where the BLM money has gone and the trillions Biden printed disappeared to. Rest assured if Rick hadn't made or isn't making ... | |
| Holo Audio Titanis I was considering this: https://www.virtins.com/USB2ISO.shtml | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns Have you ever considered this? https://intona.eu/en/products/7055-b | |
| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS @sns I have a double tailed USB cable with the power pin taped over at both ends, so the signal side is not influenced by any RFI/EMI. However the 5vdc power side ground is still connected. I have tested with and without 5vdc ground but ground so... |
