Can Digital beat our Analog installations?
Jfrech,I am pretty sure using a Vivaldi Dac in your chain is an improvement. maybe this will be my next step too. You then have two Dual AES inputs - this is absolutely perfect! 
Can Digital beat our Analog installations?
Czarivey,maybe this is also helpful:Word clock is used inside electronic equipment as part of an I2S interface, which conveys PCM digital data in serial format between chips (e.g. FPGA chip to DSP chip). I2S consists of 3 connections:- serial data...

Czarivey,To lock the DAC to a word clock signal, it is necessary to synchronise the DAC's internal clock with a Phase-Locked Loop. You cannot do that directly from (for example) an SPDIF cable carrying digital audio. Therefore you are using separa...

Czarivey,I am using Oyade DB-510, all 1 m. 
Can Digital beat our Analog installations?
Lewm,having built up the whole Scarlatti stack and having tested the dCS system intensively I am now able to comment on your question. As you know I should be able drawing conclusions from my analogue setups (EMT R 80, Micro Seiki SX 8000 II, Cont...

Dear Halcro,I am sorry , I can not participate. I have no i-phone. I am pretty sure that my possible findings will not have any impact on my listening pleasure...pls. go on 
Can Digital beat our Analog installations?
Thanks for your input Atmasphere. I don't know the Stahltek. Is it possible to transfer a DSD signal via a similar encrypted high quality connection like the Dual AES DSD feature of dCS does it. Or do have to go via Firewire connection? 
Nude Turntable Project
Halcro,there might be only one conclusion, get rid of the Raven :-)isn't it time for a change? I don't know about the value of these modern machines right now. I always went for technology, musicality and a rare design when going for tables. My ta... 
Nude Turntable Project
Halcro,there came out so many Micro Seiki CU180 metal plates out of China in the last years MS couldn't have produced in the golden (!) times of Japanese turntable building...

Atmasphere,you are favouring the Stahltek vs. dCS. May I ask you with which dCS stack did you compare? Did you listen to both systems in one chain or in different fair rooms?What do you like most of the Stahltek? 
Can Digital beat our Analog installations?
Jfrech, I regard it as an enourmous improvement going via Dual AES. curently in my small solution (SUP and SCL will arrive maybe in a week about) I am able to enjoy DSD and upsampled DSD from the STT (Scarlatti Transport) This is much better than ... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Dear Dkarmeli,in the beginning of my digital adventure I was very sceptical about all the gimmicks you are describing: upsampling, wordclocking etc. As the dCS stuff is a real versatile system I still doubt that all users do know about the differe... 
Can Digital beat our Analog installations?
Jfrech,I am in the process of rebuilding my dCS system to the same configuration you already have. I will also test the AES 2 connection between STT and SDAC and SUP, I may need two more weeks, also with my different cables I am testing. A friend ... 
Can Digital beat our Analog installations?
Thanks Lewm. I have submitted the congrats to my purchasement department. btw. they are also contracted on selling some of my units in the next time on Audiogon. When the last of the four boxes of the Scarlatti system has arrived at me - the Scarl... 
Can Digital beat our Analog installations?
Jfrech,clocking cables are running from the clock to transport, dac and upsampler. from the external extension of the clock the bnc cable runs to the rubidium clock (perfection10). In this way the dCS clock is the master but getting more precision...
