One more SPDIF hint. First of all, just to mention it (again?) , a pulsetransformer for isolation purposes is a must!!! You should have just one transformer on the link though. Having two on the link degrades the sound. Make sure you got a transfomer in place on your DAC input.
However. I tried several different so called "audiophile" pulsetransformers (Scientific Conversion, Newava, Murata and more) on the DAC side (or better on my 100$ full digital amp -- Yep. No more DAC + AMP and associated shortcomings!!! My Sabre is sitting idle again). All those transformers were causing quite a different (and mostly non satisfacory) sound signature. Though still better than running the noise right into your DAC. You wouldn't believe what impact this little device can have. I do consider this device pretty important on my list of potenial bottlenecks in the chain. ( Don't try to convince me to use Toslik instead!!) The challenge was to find the right one. ;) Cheers Enjoy. -- soundcheck ::: ' Touch Toolbox 3.0 and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
