Hi folks. Thx for the positive feedback first of all.
Good to see that you like what you hear. ;) Just a comment: I havn't listened to a DAC which would be immune against incoming distortions caused by a PC or similar device. (I'm running a SABRE 32DAC btw. - which is supposed to be able to handle incoming jitter quite well. Forget that - not under the conditions I am and many others are driving that or other devices). SPDIF for sure plays a very important role in that game. SPDIF comes with known limitations. It is a very sensitive interface. USB comes with different problems. Even those supposedly great asynchronous-USB-supposed-to-be-immune-against-everything-DACs do need an Amarra, Pure Music, J.River or similar for sounding best. Even if operated in bit-transparent mode. Even Ayre has written their own SW-playback software for OSX! A manufacturer who'd accomplish 100% immunity against distortions caused by a PC, will have a real good marketing message and selling argument. That's my guess. John Swensson AFAIK tried to and did slave his Touch to a DAC master clock. Slaving the transport will be a better approach of course. Though I'm sure he'll face other challenges to keep PC induced distortions out of his setup.
