reclocking

Steve, I had a blind test in studio today between two set up
M2tech evo stack +burmester DAC 113
direct USB to burmester DAC 113
the source was Mac mini using audirvana
the result was that good quality DAC don't need interface!

But I still believe that for low cost system and badly implemented DACs an interface is the solution.

Every usb interfaces manufacturer is claiming that his product is the best even the low cost ones.
What async interfaces is doing expect reclocking and why they should do it better than good quality DAC.

I'm just wondering why the industry is just rushing on solution that is not solving
the problem.Asynch is not fixing jitter issue but adding it to the data.

Jitter can't be completely eliminated because it's created at different stages(power supply,flow rate,cables ....).
In CD industry the physical jitter which was called the BLER had limit of 8% to be in red book spec . Jitter is part of digital audio starting from recording studio all the way down to even the best audiophile system you can find out there.

Steve, if they do exist any advise?

Steve
Thank you for your explanation.
I'm disc manufacturer and believe me all the masters that we are getting from studios are disaster when it come to jitter and as we say here in france" the nicest girl of the world can't give more than what she has"

Cerrot, I started this thread to point out that what ever is the technique used to get rid of the jitter at the end the data have to be switched to analog so the heart
of the system is the quality of the D/A converter not the interface.

Nyaudio,

jriver will not solve jitter issue, you should consider Monarchy dip as recklocker 250$ (150$ used).
