That argument is meaningless as the conversion could be done before play time so you can take as long as you like.

  Does this rule apply for the 2qute as well? For some reason I find that SACD rip DSD files sent via DoP to 2qute sound great. 24/88 flac rip of the same file sounds decent but not as good as the DSD DoP. However what I don't understand is that if I play any redbook 16/44 flac cd rips, they...

Aren't they both just different implementations of a low pass filter? I'm no electrical genius but those kinds of hf filters aren't rocket science I don't think? I'm not saying you're wrong. Just trying to understand why 1 filter is any better than the other given the reasoning that bob watts...

Anyone tried one of these cheapo ones? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331883119394   I presume the jitterbug is just a simple low pass filter?

I do experience some clipping I think at higher volumes... hmm. I wonder if anything can be done?

Ah so thats why I have to turn my volume knob right down on my Arcam Alpha 10+10P. I was wondering that! Is it a problem as such then?

Apologies if this has been discussed before. But I just got my 2qute and I'm very pleased. However the USB doesn't sound as good as the optical. Now on my previous dac (musical fidelity m1 dac) I had the same issue, however I thought this would be solved with the 2qute galvanic isolation. It's a...

  What DAC were you using when you tested the jitterbug? Did it require powering from the USB supply?

OK cool, thanks for the response :) I preferred the optical input of the musical fidelity m1 dac that this is replacing; I suspect because my old mac mini makes a lot of noise on the usb ground. I guess I will just have to test it back to back when i get the 2qute.    If the USB does seem...

  Rob, I was planning on connecting my old mac mini to a chord 2qute with USB. I have removed the power pins on my USB cable; does this mean it will not work with the 2qute? I note you say that the galvanic isolation built into the 2qute requires power from the source? (I've not received the...

I've found the following page useful and think it's solved it. Wierd; I was googling for about half hour before I posted here - then instantly I posted, I found this page! http://www.benchmarkmedia.com/wiki/index.php/OS_X_Audio_Playback_-_Setup_Guide

Hi, I've just been playing about with my new DAC and USB connector. I've gone for the Musical Fidelity M1 DAC and also a V-Link 192. Now when I connect these 2 new toys to my windows machine and load the specific drivers, it all works fine. There are LED indicators on the DAC and V-Link to...

Well, I was hoping to get away with just editing my reply, but since javier has responded I now can't :( lol. So after I spent about 3 hours faffing around with windows drivers I flicked the switch and it's all good :) I have tested a couple of well produced tracks including the Michael Jackson...
