Can anyone comment on the using the DI20 vs the 2021 range with usb isolation?

Is it worth the extra money to add the DI20 into the chain?

Thankyou

From what I hear pulling more money for DI-20HE is a better deal. There is no similar offering on that price. Non-HE version has competitors. It is not a straight answer, sorry, I don't know in person.

Hello guys,
Has anyone of you tried Oyaide (or any other brand) DC cables for a Linear Power Supply?

Does it really make a difference from a regular DC cable (provided with the LPS)?

If so, can you share the link from where you bought it?

Ghent makes quality cables at affordable prices. I have many but can't say I ever tested to check sound quality. I understand as short as possible, good components and soldering, and proper shielding are important characteristics. Many folks at the AS website say DC cables are critical to the power supply chain.

Ghent or, make your own, get some nice Neotech UP OCC cable, decent plugs ( avoid plugs and soldering where you can) and do take care of geometry and shielding.

You were right its not an i2s issue. Happens with coax as well.

I think there is an issue with either your Terminator or DI20HE. When I had the Terminator, I didn't have to change HDMI settings at all on the Terminator, and worked on default settings flawlessly from the DI to Terminator vs HDMI.

Well to be fair any other ddc or streamer i used with terminator was flawless also so maybe its my di20he ?

Sounds like it.

Have you set the output of your player to DoP to support DSD on R7?

NO I setup native DSD, which works with USB direct to R7. DoP also works.

Congrats to your DI, i have no issues with DSD from the DI20HE to the May, Bitstream (source) in JRiver, channel swap in the DI (L/R) and go. The DI shows DSD? Additional be aware of this "burn in" thing, today 3d, tomorrow maybe not...at least for the first 100H...

Are you using Win ? KinGWA said the current stock FW is not supporting Linux for DSD. I would need to load one for it) but he is now working on a new improved FW that would support Linux so let's see.

From Rpi4 using USB to DI20 to R8 with DSD in dsf format works for my 2019 version for both R8 & DI20

I see, presumably Rpi4 is Windows based ?

Sorry, I was not a bit more specific. My raspberry pi is running on a Linux based OS.

Are you using Win ?

Yes and i had to swap channels for DSD - L/R (Holo Audio May)

Apologies for a potentially stupid question but can the ACSS spdif present in DI20 be somehow connected to BNC?
I happened to purchase a Hugo TT2 and I was wondering if there is any way to connect the DI-20 to it. The bloody thing doesn't have any inputs aside from USB, toslink and BNC
