I was making fun of audio-gd saying they will scrap the usbface if they aren't happy. It reminds me of stories of mayan ball games where the losers got murdered .
Always interesting to see inside another component. The Audio-gd thing has a 50 ohm BNC output where it should be 75 ohms, and notice the wiring inside the box. Totally negates any advantages of the BNC anyway....

I like it when companies do comparisons for us.
I wonder how USB can power it ? But maybe the DSP is inactive if you don't use external power.
It should even give a better solution paired with audio-gd non DSP dacs.
Makes it more believable, right?
Why do you think it's USB powered? And I don't understand what the DSP does? Might you explain?

upstateguy, sigh, it's pretty common sense that you can't trust the words of a company regarding competitive products. I was just poking fun at the way audio-gd said they would "kill it" if they aren't satisfied.
Here's the product information on the recently discontinued ref-3 which had dsp-3.

Glad someone agrees with me. When I say stuff like that, everyone argues with me.

You are not alone. They argue with me too. Everyone on the forums is an expert you know....
Once in a while someone actually learns from these posts, if they are willing to put their egos aside. I don't know why I bother frankly. Even the simplest things are trade secrets.

Sure, just go ahead and ignore the technical truths and believe the marketing BS. I suppose you believe what all these DAC manufacturers claim about jitter too. Zero jitter? Not possible.
When are you guys going to realize that Jocko and I are real engineers with decades of experience at real companies? Do you think that we would waste our life working for some funky audio company for our real careers??
