Does removing "interface jitter" help, if my source has jitter?

I knew I could count on you, George…(it’s been a loooooooong time since I’ve been called sunshine).

Well you were applauding and doing cartwheels like an excitable school girl, after only 12hrs and 3 posts of starting the thread up and asking the question..

Cheers George

@yyzsantabarbara Thanks for sending a link to the Gustard review; it sounds like a very impressive unit.  Do you know anyone who has heard it?

@cheeg I will hear it myself on Thursday. I bought it a few days ago and it is being shipped from China. It will need some time to burn-in.

I have a 30 day trial period with this purchase.

@yyzsantabarbara That's great! Mind if I DM you next week to get your impressions?

@cheeg No problem. My frame of reference is the AudioMirror Tubadour III SE tube DAC that is really growing on me. At the other end is the Benchmark DAC3B that is amazing on great recordings and a little strong on bad recordings. I am hoping the Gustard is just right in the middle of those 2.

I was hoping to use the CODA 07x preamp with the Gustard and RAAL SR1a but the preamp is delayed another 2 weeks. So I will be focusing the Gustard on my floor standers with Benchmark gear (HPA4 + AHB2).
