@mclinnguy if you haven’t already, try asking AI about the whys and wherefore of digital audio. Depending on your questions I think you’ll be amazed at the answers. I know I was.
USB connection to DAC: multi stage improvement
In my setup (Innuos Zenith Mk3, Antelope Zodiac Platinum with Sean Jacobs DC3/4 and Antelope Audiophile clock) sequential addition of decrapifiers has lead to increasing transparency, dynamics and soundstage depth.
My chain now reads like this
ZenithMk3->Singxer UIP->JHoinrich Isolator RH07b->IFi USB iPurifier3->LHY UIP2.0 Pro->Intona7054b->Zodiac Platinum
The Singxer is powered by Sean Jacobs DC3/4, The Lhy is reclocked by the Antelope clock
Of particular note: this is the best result of trying every conceivable permutation.
In terms of overall impact:
1. reclocking the LHY using the same clock on DAC and upstream Etherregen
2. introducing galvanic insulation after each powered device.
3. using isolator equipment with different chips at each stage.
i have learned the hard way that fighting ground level noise, RFI/EMI and other network noise is a gradual rather than binary solution at each step and that in digital audio ‘less is more’ doesn‘t apply as it does in the analogue section. Equally the whole bits are bits debate seems churlish against this background

Are we sure what pops up is accurate? Check out this link from a few weeks ago, it is comical how wrong AI can be, and yet how "confident" it suggests its answer is: https://antipodes.support/t/antiopdes-k41-and-k22-mola-mola-tambaqui-volume/4449

@mclinnguy yep you have to be careful. As their disclaimer always reminds you, AI can make mistakes too. I have found more often that not though that they are usually right on with their advice. I particularly like when they give you the mechanical and electrical engineering explanations of what you to can expect to hear and why you hear it. |
