Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Is my Transporter's time up?

2012-08-11 Thread audiomuze

On Friday I listened to a custom DAC that employs the Sabre chip in a
friend's setup - we both own TP's and I've listened to his setup on
numerous occasions.  The TP was used as transport and I was blown away
by the soundstage and the detail resolved by this DAC. I'd already
switched to a PS Audio Digital Link III, but will definitely be moving
to this custom DAC when the design is finalised. The TP is no slouch,
but you can do better these days where DACs are concerned. It makes for
a great transport if you're not planning on playing back > 24/96.

HDMI done correctly [I think its hdmi 1.3 and later] will also be async
- i.e. the clock in the dac and feedback messages sent to the player to
adjust the playback rate to match the clock of the dac.  So it has the
potential to be technically better than anything with an spdif link in
it such as an external usb to spdif converter as that always requires
the dac to recover the clock in some way.
