Genesis Time Lens


Hi,
I am currently using a laptop (using foobar)USB out to a cheap USB to SPDIF converter and into a Genesis Time Lens and then to my CJ DAC. I figure, the Time Lens will clean up any issues coming from the laptop and the cheap USB to SPDIF converter.

I noticed a lot of the new DACs have USB input. Am what I am using today essentially the same as the newer DACs, but with more boxes?
Thanks!

The time lens still holds its own. I always wanted one, then Esoteric entered the upsampler/reclocker game so I went with the modern age but it does work, nicely. Nothing on the planet can help USB(besides a sledge hammer) though. we are on the eve of the world realizing USB is not for audio. Look at the new players coming out. No usb!
Ozzy, its an attempt but still lipstick on a pig. At least theyre trying. I prefer a good spdif direct from a good sound card or mother board. USB sputters and fails to squeeze out what I want to hear. The medium is plainly flawed for serious audio playback.
steve will offer no assistance to you other than
assisting you to purchase his products - 30 day money
back. At least bunions go away. The sychro mess is not
bit perfect - yet he never mentions it when he touts it.
says its not important. (sounds important) BUT, his more
expensive produts are bit perfect.
My life is undressing you to all the hobbiests here for the self serving poster that you are. You can add value here, explain things, help people but all you do is tell everyone your stuff is better, 30 days free trial, blah blah blah. Why dont you look at other manufacturers contributions here and maybe (MAYBE, but I doubt it), you will see how pathetic you look. You can't make a post without toting your product. Do you not notice that you are the only manufacturer that does that?
Zd542,

I disagree. Take a look at other designers posts. Steve is simply self serving and constantly promotes his own products, constantly saying everyones digital woes will be gone if you :try my product for 30 days". Thats not right. We need him to chime in on engineering principals, educational matters and, yes, opinions...not self serving, directorial advertisments. Take a peak at Ralph Karsten (Atmasphere) posts. He is awesome. He adds value, gives info and you would never even know he makes some of the best amps out there. he never tells someone, "well, your soundstage would widen if you bought my amp...". And, he can.
Zd, you are obviously a fan. I am not. My standard are a bit higher. I am always suspect of a pushy sales man. Any quality of Steves products are diluted by.... him.
all you need to do is scroll through steves posts - compare them to any other maunfacturer. A blind man can see it.
