Likewise. For me, OCK-2 sine wave was head and shoulders better than square wave.

False logic. Even a higher end DAC sound it can be improved upon with more accurate timing using a Master Clock. Based on experience, the M Scaler / Hugo TT2 exhibits a lot more depth when attached to a 10mhz clocked signal (via Gustard U18 DDC + LHY OCK-2). If I were only given a choice...

That's for sure. The OCK-2 provided me with very good uptick in sound quality… I might one day jump to a $5K Cybershaft or Mutec Ref SE120, but not likely anytime soon as I'm contented… the OCK-2 provides a palpable improvement. It's currently timing my main system (iDSD Pro Signature and...

Sweet. I like my JS-2 for its versatility, but there's definitely room for improvement in build and performance.

Is there a new Uptone JS-4? Search isn't turning up any results.

1. Yes it can resample. But just don't use the SD/External USB. The App is weak and the function just isn't there to control or organize the files, and you will be very frustrated. 2. Yes, the tubes are at the preamp stage and affects internal and external outputs. Can't answer 3 and 4 as I'm a...

@Tato333 I haven't listened to the Naim Uniti Atom compared to the iFi iDSD pro thus I can't give the sound signatures of one compared to the other. I also don't listen through headphones, only speakers. What I can say: It's likely the Naim is going to smoother and more organic and cleaner on...

It's an all in one solution for me. Streamer, DAC, upsampler and all those functions supercharged when connected to a 10mhz external clock.

Ethernet Cable. I ran mine around the edge of the living room with a 33ft cable. The iDSD Pro's wireless reception through the external antenna isn't great especially if your unit is tucked amidst other components. I choose a wired connection regardless because unless it's a pure apple made...

The Signature version has the upgraded SMPS which does make a noticeable difference in the sound. I use mine with a clean LPS and upgraded power cord and it sounds even smoother and more dynamic, so there's more performance to be squeezed from this iDSD pro signature.

Streamer works seamlessly with Airplay and Tidal. Always, get a DAC that natively supports your streaming service. But yes, Wiim Home app for DLNA is a turd.

Not sure. I bought it used on Audiogon Jan 2022, so at least 1.5 years old.

Glad this thread didn't stay dead. Lovin' my OCK-2. Peace.

Public Service Announcement. There's a forum "ignore user" feature that works quite well. Cleans up your feed nicely.

Power is strange. Even a power cord can change the overall sound of a component to a level where it sounds like a different component. The balance can be very delicate. Example: Recently, I upgraded the power cable to my Master Clock with a mid level upgrade and I actually didn't like it as...
