As you could see from previous posts (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?94218-Asynch-USB-vs-non-USB&p=696834&viewfull=1#post696834), I was telling everyone that the scheme of Touch -> V-Link -> DAC was technically not promising.
That was before I tried it anyway. All I can say is that in my living room with the particular combination of DAC, amp and speakers, I am finding a rather substantial improvement in imaging over not having the USB to SPDIF converter there. I am fully aware this shouldn't be happening. I suspect it may have something to do with galvanic isolation, but I didn't get the same apparent benefit from using Toslink as my connection. Irrational perhaps, but at least it is not blue dot, or CD-in-the-freezer territory (IMO)! My engineer's brain tells me I should spend more effort on DSP room mode correction that chasing down the last word in digital interface purity, but my musician's brain tells me "just play another track leave things as they are!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
