Actually I got exactly what we both expected.  :) All deflection and no answer.

Good for you. A lot of people bought VW diesels as well based on the written word. Guess how that's working out for them now?

They have been asked on another thread for sure. Oh, and there are a lot of "noted very talented engineers" in the world.

That was not my question. And I do not pick my equipment based on measurements alone. In fact I pick it based on probably 90% of peoples experiences. I just read very carefully and look for fluff before I decide who's experience I trust. The issue I see is making statements like the one I...

  Is there any proof to this statement? I ask because I have not seen one single bit of evidence other than the written word. IF the reduction is "dramatic" it should be very easy to measure and observe.

  I just read through that entire thread. Unfortunately it fell into a "defend the great product" thread by product adopters and apparently the company owner? I am of the opinion, and I clearly state now that I am an engineer that "needs" to see some measureable reason for a certain result...

That could also point to the coax connector/interface on the receiving end of    xx => coax  not being up to the AES quality. Or maybe I read the test method wrong.

The one USB DAC I have used with Linux ran as class 2 compliant with no additional drivers. Emotiva Stealth DC-1.   And the Gustard U12 USB converter also is recognized as class 2 and works perfectly with Linux.   There's no doubt in my mind the latest Linux distributions are class 2 and...

So, will all the churn in this thread, is the Gustard U12 the only USB interface tried that has the rate display? That's important to me as my DAC doesn't display this "intuitively".

Double posting.

I should have looked at the Ebay link. Looks like DC-1GHz claimed and 50 ohm, not 75. Not to argue a point but there are 75 ohm BNC combinations out there but 50 is the norm.   http://www.pasternack.com/75-ohm-bnc-connectors-category.aspx?gclid=CIDysPnA6scCFQoTHwod_S0OMQ   Getting a "ideal...

Well at some point you are obviously going to attenuate the signal itself to nothing. And that probably will yield a VERY smooth, black background.  :) What frequency band are the attenuators you purchased designed for?

Holy cow. Unless that's an extender card (and I don't think it is) I say snake oil. I've just finished reading/scanning this entire topic and this add may take the cake. :)

Received the new Gustard today, no thanks to UPS leaving it at the wrong front door!  :( Looks good, feels solid and sounds excellent even with no burn-in. One thing appears awry and I believe I can fix it. The AC power input cable has to be pushed in tight and even then when wiggled the...

Ok. New here as of today. I read through the first 1000 posts or so and decided to pull the trigger on a U12 via Amazon and it will be here tomorrow. I'll go back to reading the other 1400 posts but thought I would ask this first.  :) My question revolves around my DAC. I am using a TASCAM...
