I have read in headfi forums. Everyone who owns Lavry DA10 is using XLR
to RCA adapter but it is modded by floating pin 3.

a modded behringer src2496 will easily out perform both the xdacv3,and

Can you detail the mods you made to the SRC2496 in more detail please?

I had the opportunity to listen to cd's ripped to itunes and the same to
flac the itunes sounded soft where as the flac sounded detailed
and lively
don't ask why as I have no idea.

Acoustician and builder of interesting cables
so .
the amps pretty good ...klipsch have a good rep , though I've not heard
that model. The dac's pretty good ...what cables are you using ?
these will make a surprising difference to the final sound...
You can build a very good [and I mean excellent] cheap ic that should
cost no more

Many thanks,
I think the SRC is going on my list as interesting projects to do over
the next couple of months.

Just guesses, but maybe you could try toggling the 'digital output
always on' setting in Player SettingsAudio, or transcoding one of the
offending files to FLAC for comparison.

Yes, I guess that telling if this method differs from the previous one
or not is better. We're really getting into depth of signal detection
here, I guess you should even have a calibration run...

Good post.
However, I think that identifying the source/method is an unnecessary
and overcomplicated step. You simply need to repeatedly be able to
detect a difference when there is one, and no difference when there
isn't.

That doesn't really tell us much, because two different sources can

No, it does make sense as the new laptop mains was not charging the

Hopefully this is the end.

Hugh at Inguz was kind enough to program in a quasi-parametric EQ

special equipment needed. Test
I tried a bunch of tests, with unmodified SB3, with a different DAC,

Unfortunately (fortunately?), I have been unable to reproduce it with

Hmm. Well, again, there is nothing special about track transitions as
far as the s/pdif is concerned. No information about a track change is
transmitted, nor is there any interruption of the signal or change in
the out-of-band data. (I am only speaking of SB3/TP here - a CD player
