Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Triode's USB 24/192 plug in - sound quality impressions
I was using for few months 7.7.2 LMS and firmware version together with TT 3.0. Yesterday i installed 7.8 LMS, 7.8 firmware, Triode plugin and than TT 3.0. I am using only spdif coax output into my Buffalo II DAC. The sound is so good, as never before. It looks that spdif output has a much better quality now with Triode plugin. I didn't touch any processes priorities. Next step will be usb-i2s interface connected between SBT and Buffalo. Maybe this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teralink-X2-Native-24bit-96k-USB-to-SPDIF-I2S-Converter-/261078617287?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preampshash=item3cc97f8cc7 and ps for it http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teralink-X2-X1-U9VA-Linear-Low-noise-Power-Supply-/261090614812?pt=US_Amplifier_Parts_Componentshash=item3cca369e1c or mabye this one : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=150865671914#ht_2500wt_1037 ;) praganj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41091 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94855 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] What is the best top end player now ?
Note that the complete MSB stack priced at $50,000 is reviewed in Stereophile this month. I haven't read the article yet, but it better compare favorably to the dCS Paganini. Frankly, it should be MUCH better at that price for redbook and hi-rez since its transport doesn't support SACD. The primary reason I wanted a transport at all was for SACD and my player supports HCDC too. jh901's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18175 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Clock in for Transporter
Can any experts tell me will it be big improvement if I connect M2Tech EVO Clock to my Transporter (plug in World Clock In). However, because M2Tech can't make output as Master Clock, any suggestion for Master Clock which is good match with Transporter? jcboy2128's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57237 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96421 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

I'm no expert, but I think the only meaningful way to use the clock input of the TP, is when using the digital output of the TP and slaving it off a DAC with Word Clock out. Otherwise, you are likely to end up with increased jitter instead of reducing it. blackbear's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7015 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96421 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Clock in for Transporter
There is only one situation where the word clock in is useful: you have a DAC with a very low jitter internal clock AND it can output a word clock derrived from that internal clock. You connect one of the digital outs from the TP to the DAC and the word clock from the DAC to the TP. This slaves the TP to the clock in the DAC. Note that there are problems with this setup, the TP runs at the sample rate of the DAC, so you have to choose the sample rate at the DAC, not the source of the music. For example if your DAC is sending out a 44.1KHz word clock the TP can ONLY play music at 44.1 (because it is slaved to the DAC). If you want to play a 96 KHz file you must either change the frequency of the wordclock coming out of the DAC, or resample the 96 file in the server. You have to be careful with undertsanding what is meant by a word clock and a master clock. A word clock is a stream of pulses at the frequency of the sample rate, 44.1KHz, 48KHz, 96KHz etc. The term master clock has two different meanings: 1) a word clock that is connected to multiple devices, thus synching them all together, thus it is the master. 2) a high frequency clock running at a much higher frequency than the sample rate, common ones are 11.2896MHz, 12.288MHz, 22.5792MHz, 24.576MHz. These numbers sound weird but they are multiples of the common sample rates, 11.2896MHz is 256 X 44.1KHz. The TP only accepts a wordclock, NOT a high frequency master clock. Thus if the DAC just outputs a high frequency master clock you cannot use it with the TP. John S.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Clock in for Transporter
Thanks for valuable comments. I guess I should forget world clock-in and external master clock now. What if I use an external DAC likes Weiss DAC2 or Northstar DAC 32, can it help for significant improvment ? jcboy2128's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57237 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96421 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
