.? Digital Reclocking and syncing clocks does anyone know the correct Answrrsb
@mesonto  Yeah listen to Cindy from audiosciencereview.com where they never listen to anything just put it through an oscilloscope or multimeter. Again you are another Audio Messiah trying to save the Audio Fools from buying exorbitantly priced HI... 
Weiss 501 DAC
Quad from the UK is now Chinese owned I understand and Musical Fidelity was recently sold to an Austrian company which is probably Chinese. It's just the way things are. Have a look, and I'm not promoting them, at the quality of the DACs they ar...

@jerryg123 Most of those brands will most likely be acquired by the Chinese in the near future. They have already bought many audio companies. As a biker you must be aware they also own Pirelli. Sit back and enjoy the music.  
What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
@jerryg123 Hi Jerry I like Aprilia but the Panigale of severs is Aurender the N20 is the best bang for the buck. Fantastic machine.  
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
@dbb  Well its got to be the 005. It makes the most sense for me anyway I don't want a two box unit. I'll post some reviews once I get it. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and time.

I've extensively listened to the MAN 301 with CD ripper, streamer and built in previous model DAC and it was very, very good. I didn't buy it however because there's better capabilities and value available. Chinese DACs is where it's at now.  
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
@dbb Thanks again for such fabulous reviews of the May and 005. My main playlist comprises of 60s and 70s rock so I was glad you included Cream and The Doors in your review. The 005 strongly pulls me because I don't want a two box system so I was... 
If you feed a DAC with USB does XLR matter as much?
@auxinput Yes you are correct it's not set in stone which DIGITAL INPUT sounds best it's up to experimentation and cables etc., but the OP seems to think that inputs have an effect on which output cables (interconnects) to use. They all go throug...

Ok so to sum up if you're only using USB and need I2s out use the Iris. If you don't need I2s, use Mutec because it's a universal solution and it also includes a Word Clock. YMMV

@jimob Hi the Terra is a Master Clock like the Mutec 10 MHz Master Clock so it should slave all other clocks to it. The Mutec is straighforward because 10MHz is standard.

@big_greg Hi Man I'm currently temporarily using a Teac UD-503 DAC/Pre-Amp in my main system because my Musical Fidelity DAC doesn't do DSD. Honestly it's outstanding. I originally bought it as a headphone amp but it sounds even better as a  DAC/P...

@audioman58 Hi using the Terminator with one of Denafrips re-clockers (DDC) I'm sure will be a fine solution. The clocks won't get degraded but I'm not sure how Denafrips' Terra connects to their system. If you have a very good server, as I said b... 
.? Digital Reclocking and syncing clocks does anyone know the correct Answrrsb
There are Re-Clockers and Word Clocks. The Iris, Hermes and Gaia are re-clockers which means your USB, AES/EBU or SPDIF cables go into the re-clocker before the DAC. The signals are then of course re-clocked or to say it another way synchronized i... 
If you feed a DAC with USB does XLR matter as much?
Well, yeah it does if the DAC processes one input better than another.  And that’s really at the heart of my question. No, you are wrong, it doesn't matter how well each input processes their independent signals they all have to go through the ... 
Next best exponential DAC quality level?
@cindyment  Manic, bi-polar?
