Indications are that such a DAC is fairly immune to small jitter on the bits (which is what a clock change would affect), Many USB DACs DO seem to have some degree of susceptibility to gross packet timing differences (controlled by software settings), some to a fairly large degree and others to a much smaller degree, I don't have a MDAC so I can't tell you where it lies. But these are not hardware changes, they are purely software. When people talk about "reclockers" they are usually referring to boxes that take in a S/PDIF signal, run it through a good PLL, regenerate a S/PDIF stream with the clock from the PLL. This only works for S/PDIF. There are no "reclockers" for USB, there are some devices which perform isolation (but only for full speed, not high speed) and these actually ARE reclockers, but the internal clock is WAY WAY worse than anything you are going to find in a computer, they actually add a TON of jitter to the USB bus!

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Upgrading the clocks in the SBT - is it necessary
Excellent John, so in summary, a good example of an async USB DAC is the MDAC, therefore with the well engineered MDAC, there is no need for an intermediate re-clocker (or any form of clock upgrade), simply because the MDAC is one example of a well implemented async USB DAC, is that right? This is of course, with the most useful of all mods the SBT EDO applet set to USB out so we can all use the SBT direct into an async USB DAC. Sort of saves a bucket load of money knowing that you don't have to upgrade clocks or use any fancy expensive re-clockers when you can instead invest in the right asyn USB DAC to avoid all that extra hi-fi furniture. Food for thought for everyone don't you think? I know that async USB is not meant to be the be all and end all - but it certainly helps with a well implemented design to avoid all those intermediate ancillaries. stop-spinning's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95573 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Upgrading the clocks in the SBT - is it necessary
As one who has actually done a clock upgrade I can say that it DOES significantly improve the sound of the analog outs. By clock upgrade I mean replacing the two audio crystals that generate clocks that are used to derive the timing for the data going to the DAC chip and the S/PDIF outs (coax and optical). These clocks have nothing to do with the processor clock which is used for such things as ethernet and USB timing. The internal clocks are somewhere around 35-50 ps, the ones I replaced them with were in the 5ps range. I have some new sub one ps clocks (NOT cheap!) but I haven't gotten around to actually hooking those up yet. Whether this change is going to make a difference to an external S/PDIF input DAC is very dependent on the DAC, and the cable used between them. For some some it will make an improvement and for others it will not. (I don't think it will make anything sound worse!) S/PDIF connections are affected by so many different things that even for DACs that are sensitive to whats going on with the inputs it's essentially impossible to figure out in advance which one will make a difference in a particular setup. It should have NO difference to a USB DAC (of any flavor) since these clocks have nothing to do with with the timing on the USB bus. I don't know of ANYBODY that has tried tweaking the clocks that DO affect the timing on the USB bus. Getting USB DACs to work reliably with the Touch is such a recent occurrence that USB tweaking is very much in it's infancy. I am going to disagree with many around here who think that all USB async DACs are completely immune to anything happening on the computer as long as the data gets transfered correctly. I have tried several and this does not seem to be the case. The async USB method gives the POTENTIAL for high immunity from what's happening in the computer, but it turns out the details of the implementation still make a BIG difference. There are very few manufacturers that are spending the effort to really get it right. So is a clock upgrade a "necessity"? Certainly not. Will it improve things? For the analog outs, yes, for a S/PDIF DAC, maybe, for a USB DAC no. If you have a DAC for which an external reclocker makes a difference, will uprgading the clocks in the Touch do the same thing for less? Maybe. As mentioned before there is far more to a S/PDIF interface than just the jitter of the source, an external reclocker may be affecting one of those other aspects. For example the impedance of the output is just as important as the jitter of the signal, the official spec says outputs and inputs should be 75 ohms, but in reality the impedance of outputs, inputs and cables varies all over the place from 25 ohms to 120 or so. What matters is that they match as closely as possible. So if your DAC has an input of 90 ohms, it doesn't matter if the source has precisely 75 ohms, you will get better results if the source is closer to 90. I have actually seen a case where a reclocker sounded better, even though the jitter on the output was worse than on the input, BUT the output impedance more closely matched that of the input on the DAC.

A good upgrade to the Touch can be a decent DAC. The clock inside the Touch is not that bad. John Westlake (designer of the previous DacMagic DACs , the Audiolab M-DAC and other award winning gear) has tested the SBT and found that the clock is getting re-clocked inside the Touch. That is pretty amazing for a streamer at this price point. Re-clocking is something youd expect on high-end gear. So, dont worry about the Touch clock. In my main listening setup Im using the SBT with the M-DAC. The SBT is connected with optical SPDIF to the M-DAC. Works perfect and the sound quality is excellent.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Upgrading the clocks in the SBT - is it necessary
Looks like the Touch is OK as is... I know that an audiophile forum member elsewhere reported that adding an Empirical re-clocker between SBT and his DAC makes his system sound 'sublime'. Now sublime is a nice word is it not. So as a result I wanted to find out what forum member here did to improve their Touch in a similar manner to make their Touch sound 'sublime'. However, I do own a good USB DAC so knowing that by using async USB by way of the EDO applet I will be bypassing the clocks 'completely' in the Touch (just in case the clocks are not of audiophile standard) and using the ones in my external DAC instead. Isn't async USB great; no need to any fancy re-clocking devices in the middle - because all these re-clocking devices do is offer better quality 'clocks' for the downstream connecting DAC. Why bother when you can use the clocks directly in the DAC itself. stop-spinning's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95573 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Thats the general idea with async usb . it was designed for use with computers as source in mind . Computers can have magnitudes worse performance than Touch especially laptops on thier spdiff ,if they even have spdiff or toslink ? And you get a separate "soundcard" that you use with music programs and don't have all those windows sounds etc . Touch performance is not that bad as digital transport Stereophile has some god measurements to show on it , it can of-course be improved on . It's on par with a decent CD-transport But given that and modern well designed dac's ability to copy with and reclock almost any source . You are most likely not able to hear the improvement . As with CD transport you don't need the most expensive $$$ high end transports to have "good enogh" performance so that the DAC can do it's thing and the outcome would be identical sound . Imo Touch is the source you need for 2ch music . IF you have one off the better USB only DAC's that out perform Touch's own DAC (this is not a given look in the EDO treads and see what people actually tries to use, you exemplified with the MDAC it migth be one of the DAC's up to it ) , you can use Triodes EDO app to be able to use USB . If you have a DAC with multiple inputs it would be a toss-up it entirely up to that DAC's design which input that actually performs best (what happens internally after the async-USB ? ) Also , it is naive to trust the tweoko industry it is not a given that a mod or add on product actually improves the situation at all , the clock may for example be better but the application in circuit is probably at least as important . A circuit as designed as a whole modding by sticking random "audiophile" components into it is not a good method if don't know the implications for the design . Imo to be able to mod a circuit you must understand it's design from the gound up , in practice be able design a similar circuit yourself then you know what you are doing otherwise not.
