Transport for Exogal Comet Plus DAC


Transport for Redbook CD only.  Currently using an Oppo 103, but that will be leaving soon.  Curious if this is a DAC that would benefit from re-clocker...Thanks

If you really believe a reclocker makes no difference, then just get an Oppo 105 for $1200.

Sorry, I don't believe it.

What do you recommend Steve ?

Do this experiment first:

Play a track from 2 different digital sources or from the same source using two different coax cables to your DAC.  If you hear ANY difference, then your situation will benefit from a reclocker.

This one is the best, based on measurements and customers feedback.

It is also crucially important that you use the best coax cable you can afford to the DAC.  All cables add jitter, the question is: how much?  See these jitter measurements for different cables:

The BNC-BNC cable is the place to start.  Add 75 ohm RCA adapters if needed.

You can:

1) treat your disks with $100/4 oz. treatment

2) cut the outer edge at an angle

3) put colored pen on the inner ring

4) use destatic gun or demagnetizer on the disks

5) treat with fluorescent light

6) rewrite the disk to a CDROM

7) coat the top surface with a rubberized coating

or you can:

Get a good reclocker like the Synchro-Mesh and insert in the coax cable between transport and DAC

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

I use the iFi SPDIF iPurifier on my home theater and smart TV.  Great for movies and only $150.

Reclockers rule!!
