While the card is on the way Im diving

Ordering two of these when I have funds


____

Because JCAT USB XE Does a good job Im thinking of trying this.

Purpose for this usb card is:

1. for connecting a usb thumb drive with SLC memory 512-2GB. Buying two of these. One for the audioplayer(portable/JCAT) and Files(Elfidelity AXF100)

2. Will use external psu for the card. I have great success with iFi Elite on the JCAT. Might buy one more....or the shanti maybe

I had considered that elfidelity usb card before I got the JCAT card but there was used deal on the JCAT so I just went with that.

I think they do the same thing. I would assume the JCAT is better at it but you never know till you compare them.

Jcat is better

Instant noticeable. Wow! Thought it was kinda snake oil.

I forgot the gpu occupied the X1 slot, so Input it close to JCAT. The last pci slot is for pci network.

Games are more 3D in sound, its real!

Guys I don´t get it, the amount of details in the mids has gone further.

All I did before testing the card was moving my whole setup, the only thing that has changed was swapping the power cables supra and wireworld.

This is incredible.

What do you have connected to it?

What do you have connected to it?

Well...

I forgot to add, before this my OCK-2 was connected. But it is not now. So the chain is Computer/JCAT -> DI20HE -> spdif/coax -> Chord TT2 - AryaV2.

I am suspecting the OCK-2 might influence when the R8HEMK2 closed or not connected - before this change when both were connected R8 and OCK2

Im going with this for a couple of days to see if it has a bad effect on the TT2. It sound incredible now.

This hobby is killing, this DI20HE makes me wanna buy more dacs.

But what do you have plugged into the elfidelity card?

 

[OCC7N]

But what do you have plugged into the elfidelity card?

The elfidelity 107 has no inputs...its in the slot next to the jcat on the picture

Im gonna change the port as soon as I get waterblock for the GPU.

Im gonna change the port as soon as I get waterblock for the GPU.

I see, its the pci power filter, I thought it was the usb isolator.

 

[OCC7N]

This is going to sound strange. I even noticed slightly better graphics in games. Its like with sound where small particle/noise are gone from the image, its more clear and sharp.

I also noticed this when I added the pci power filter card.

Picture quality seemed to improve when using Netflix, youtube, spotify, and games.

I have a very cheap 43" 4k tv that I use as an additional monitor and everything improved on that as well.

Im upgrading my Streamer/gamer pc = Stramer

I need to find the ATX PSU with lowest Ripple and best transient.

So far google search have these as popular:
AX1600i
RM1000i
RM750X
Super Flower 1000.

I dont care how many watts it is, just not under 700 Watt is good. I like to keep it overkill with PSU. I have these on the way

Case: Silverstone GD11.
GPU: Inno3D 4070 TWIN X2
Cooler Arctic Freeser 240 II water cooler.

I have yet not pulled the trigger on a new motherboard yet as I like the Asus TUF X570 GAMING PLUS. I did think of the motherboard PinkFaun is using on there expensive 2.16 streamer: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK.

What ATX/PSU around 400 dollars will be "audiophile" grade? - any input is appreciated

I use the Super Flower 850w titanium ps, I've never had a titanium level psu before so I can't compare it to anything else but compared to the gold PS I had already, there was an improvement in everything running off the pc, music and picture quality on all 3 monitors I have connected to it.

Super flower is the oem for EVGA PSUs and some other brands.
