| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? @viethluu With regard to issue three, I think it is system specific in my case. You can perhaps check with other people here who have the Aquarius. My question is: why do you pick the terminator over the Aquarius if the terminator will be t... | |
| musician aquarius r2r dac any good? I have the Musician Aquarius and it has a beautiful smooth sweet sound. I don’t have experience with other dacs to compare it to. I bought it based on the recommendation of Sandu Vitalie of Soundnews. Later Sandu Vitalie’s top recommendation was t... | |

| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @lordmelton Yes, there are many good reviews on using the I2s connection. But I don’t think the I2s path is a PhoenixUSB killer.

| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @antigrunge2 I have had very major benefit from using a LHY Audio Ocxo switch AND a 10m controlled Etherregen to clean up the Ethernet signal into the server I guess you are referring to the benefits of cascading the clocked switches in series... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? Ideally you‘d have an integrated Server/Dac with an integrated analogue attenuator and a very high quality clock. This solution would be ideal, but expensive making it impractical for many. Check the Innuos Statement which is a streamer only a... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @jorjlien We won't really know without a comparison :). | |

| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @sns You didn’t provide any references, you never do. That in addition to the above I wrote. I am done listening to you. | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @sns Always keep in mind quality of usb in dac is critical to determining best scheme. Doesn’t make sense to reclock prior to quality usb board clock in dac, does for inferior dac usb. This advice you gave is way easier said than done. In... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @sns @tjag The above experience isn’t definitive in streamer vs reclocker superiority as the Chord MScaler doesn’t have optimized usb board, really meant for BNC input. I bet tables turned using dac with optimized usb board. You stated the... |
