Since this thread is about the SU-6: I tried both the iFi and the SMPS that came with the Singxer and could not hear a difference.

I used a ifi low noise DC power supply.

Highs are presented in a more natural way - not harsh, reduces listening fatigue. I use it with a Yggdrasil 2 and it is not too bright. It works very well, providing added detail naturally. I must say I do not understand how or why it works better if it is a dd, but to my ears, it does!

My setup is Mac mini->usb to aes->dac->amp-> speakers USB to aes -> matrix spdif2, mutec, singxer su6, topping - own and tried them all Dac-> yggadrasil, topping d50 Amp-> nuprime mcx-2, primaluna 7, audioresearch ref 150 Speakers -> goldenear 7, quad 2905 I swap components to determine the...

As I mentioned in the first post, I compared this directly with the matrix spdif2. I found this device better sonically compared to both the matrix and the mutec which I also own. I don’t know why it sounds better but it does. Bass is better and focus and soundstage are better. After 2 months...

Yes, I thought I could replace my Matrix SPDIF2 with the dx7s USB to coax but I found that it was far inferior to the Matrix - and like several other people, I found that the SMSL SU-8 was more pleasant sounding than the DX7s from USB input, which didnt make sense. When I have time, I will open...

"using CRYSTEK's CCHD-957 high-performance femtosecond crystal oscillator, with the self-developed constant temperature system". Oh, I see the wording of the oven control - they made their own system. You're right, that's rare that a unit at this price point has one.

I will try your suggestions. But I was not aware that the Singxer SU-6 uses an OCXO. According tp the specs it use two Crystek's CCHD-957, which have low phase noise but are not oven controlled crystals. The Crystek's CCHD-957 are ~ $30 each, while OCXO are much more.

After a few days, here's my impressions. It does sound different than other reclockers. Not a subtle change where you need to carefully do an A-B. It is obvious and from SirOli, corroborated with my impressions. The biggest change is that the musical lines are much more distinct. If one had a...

Starting a new thread for the Singxer Su-6 reclocker. Purpose is similar to the Singxer SU-1, which I dont own and the Matrix SPDIF 2, and the Mutec MC3+, both of which I own and will compare. Just got it today, and my initial impression is that it is pretty darn good. I use these to take a...

Lots of confusion here. There are 2 parts of a cable: the cable and the connector. The cable is typically coaxial and can be the same whether it uses a RCA and BNC connector. A coax cable is uniform impedance whether it is 1 inch or 100 ft. Now the connector: a BNC can be the same...

My 2 hour initial listen was interesting. The mutec sounded different than my FireWire to spdif to Big Ben to aes/ebu. Need more extended tests. The mutec was more analog sounding and less high frequencies (less hash?). Whereas the Big Ben preserved the same sound but made it better. Too bad...

Thanks. Wasn’t aware of The mutec. Just bought one and received it today. Will try to compare with the Big Ben. So far tried Mac mini usb -> audio alchemy and sounded digital at its worst Inserted the mutec and much much better. Not sure if it is as good as the FireWire to Big Ben but it...

Question: would this help in my setup Currently; Macmini (firewire) -> M-Audio610 firewire to SPDIF coax -> Apogee Big ben reclocker SPDIF to balanced -> elac/Audio alchemy DDP-1 DAC Thinking of simplifying Macmini (USB) -> EITR USB to SPDIF coax -> elac/Audio alchemy DDP-1 DAC My current...

Just received my GO2A.  I must say, it is worth it.  The red aluminum chassis speaks quality hi-end, whereas the GOv2 chassis was amateurish. Soundwise, it sounds great.  The GOv2 was good, but not great IMHO.  The 2A I captured me (with 192 kHz recordings) and I couldnt stop listening.  I then...

"Thanks for posting this, I see there are many similar USB extension cables like this available. Do you just plug the Camera Connection Kit into this cable and iDevice, then this cable into the DAC, or do you also need to plug this cable into a power source?"   no power source needed. This is...

"What is the best way to overcome the dreaded "The connected device requires too much power""?   I posted this a while ago in the forums, (see post 606) but after a while it gets lost and people come back asking the same questions.   This works on all IOS, all ipads, iphones with the ability...

Quote: See my earlier posting for the smallest hub that works. Do a search in this thread. I guarantee it works with the dragonfly since that is my setup.

I made a separate post but repeating it here:  After much research, I found the smallest self pwoered hub that avoids the dreaded "too much power" issue.   Is is available on ebay:   http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110855033353&ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:US:1123   I...

i started a new thread simply because I didnt want this to get buried in other threads even though they are similar subjects.     After MUCH time and effort, I have found the simplest way to get 24/96 bit perfect sound out an ipad or iphone with enough storage to carry it all with me...

Quote: what ios version are you running?  the latest version 5 restricts current to 20 mA and the HRT uses 200mA, so I dont see how it will run without external power.

Quote: "Works" = plays all files in itunes (ALAC through 16/44) and through Goldenear app plays hi res through 44 kHz. It does not seem to work at higher sample rates on the ipad, dont know why.  tried 3 different hubs.   In both cases it sends current through the Dragonfly. I suspect...

Quote:   That doesnt make sense.  I can connect a PSU to the the hub and plug the dragonfly to the hub and it works.  I can plug the dragonfly directly to the CCK and use THE SAME PSU to the dragonfly so the CCK doesnt power the dragonfly and it doesnt work.  Hmm, I am wondering (from...
