Logitech Transporter out of sync with EMM Labs DAC6e SE word clock
FYI, the DAC6e SE is back out for sale ($2500). 
Logitech Transporter out of sync with EMM Labs DAC6e SE word clock
I’ve come to the conclusion that the Transporter’s word clock input (and/or associated software) is simply not functioning correctly, and that there’s nothing wrong with the DAC6.  Considering how much I really do love the Transporter, and was jus...

jond ~Not yet, but he sold it as part of an estate sale, so I doubt (though I will contact him) that he'll have much to say.  And no, I don't have anything else to use as a transport (particularly to truly emulate the conditions).Thanks for the re... 
Logitech Transporter out of sync with EMM Labs DAC6e SE word clock
After looking through countless forum entries throughout the entire day, I’ve come to the conclusion that, unless there was one (or maybe a few?) firmware updates that resolved this issue, then this is a lost cause.  Of course if you know of anyth...

Also...- AIFF, WAV, ALAC are all affected.- 88.2kHz is unable to be processed by the DAC6 (sound slowed, as to be expected; crackling persists)

Install failed; not compatible.  Installing 7.7.5 straight from my squeezebox.com (the one I had prior to 7.9.1, which also crackled).  Yep, still crackling

FYI, I was able to locate SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 (2008), but I'm not going to install anything just yet.

And some more, though aside from the comment about 7.0.1 (which I can't locate immediately), I'm stuck.http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?33190-transporter-using-external-word-clock

Just read this on the Slim Devices forum:"Also try lower the brightness level of the display. My Transporter feeding to my Emm Labs DCC2SE produces the pops/clicks if the display brightness is above level 2 on wireless and wired. The phenomenon is... 
Curious about older "world class" D/A converters
Good day, all.I received the DAC6e SE (in absolutely perfect condition, with all the original packaging - someone really took care of this unit), got everything set up, with the word clock in it being master, and...loads of crackling, primarily in... 
Curious about older "world class" D/A converters
Well, friends, I ended up going with an EMM Labs DAC6e SE.  Not quite as old as the ones I initially mentioned, but certainly a world class product.  I don't do SACD - and I won't need all six channels - but apparently the thing does Redbook quite...

Thanks for muddying the heck out of the waters, teo_audio!  ;)  That's some list! 
Curious about older "world class" D/A converters
I just read the following on another forum:"I sold my DCC2 2 years ago and regret doing so. At the time the DCC2 was far better than any DAC I auditioned. I had both the DCC2 and my current Modwright Transporter at the same time and while the DCC2...

bigkidz -This is what I’m getting at: these older "world class" DAC’s were built to such a robust degree, that I’ve become curious as to whether that equated to a sound that has simply been forgotten, but possibly betters modern designs. And I don...

rzado -Thanks so much for the thoughtful response.  I really appreciate that.  The Spectral is the most fascinating to me, as I guess I see it as being the most "pro" unit.  And speaking of EMM Labs, I've seen that the DAC6e SE is now in a palatab...
