I wasn't specifically referring to you, ralphjn but you seem to take on the attributes & answered
I'm not even going to link to the many, many reports of an audible noise on the output of a non-asynchronous USB DAC - noticeable when mouse movements, HDD access, keyboard activity, etc. If you want to deny this reality then it will not surprise me. These specific problems were solved & disappeared with the introduction of good asynchronous USB communications. And no asynch USB is not a panacea for everything as you seem to want to portray with the intent of saying that now there is another USB solved by the Regen. The Regen deals with a very specific & different problem. If any of you care to look (but beware, it takes a bit of understanding) there is an empirical analysis of this issue by Jim LeSurf (a lecturer in Physics & electronics) of the beloved Benchmark DACMagic Vs a DACMagic with a Halide Bridge in front of it. See if you agree with his conclusions & if not, why not. http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Linux/Sound3/TimeForChange.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jkeny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35192 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103684 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
