CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

And also, along with the Audioquest Diamond USB cable and Jitterbug,
DAVE gets a Telwire power cord:

After experimenting with some Shunyata Anacondas and a TG audio I had, the Telwire was the best, again sounding more mellow up top but preserving transparency and speed in the bass.

This cord is really nice with the DAVE driving an LCD4 and a HE1000v2.

I'm using Roon from my laptop to DAVE via optical.
The cable supports smoothly PCM up to 24/192 and DSD 64 and I get Roon to run lossless at these frequencies.
Only when I play DSD files at 128 or 256 I don't get lossless reproduction as Roon downsamples the signal.

Is there any way to setup the whole thing so that I get lossless also at higher DSD frequencies?

No (Via USB, yes)

Enjoy the jitter

I tried to help you
The fact that optical connection is more subject to jitter is well known.
It is also well known that Dave is completely immune to jitter by design.
That is why your ironic comment was irrelevant in my opinion.
Anyhow if the intention was to help I might not share the tone but I do appreciate the intention!
Thanks

Good for you man, so if you read my post above you will also find it interesting!

It is not immune to jitter?????
