Hi Rob,Hi Rob,
thanks for the detailed explanation you gave to @Em2016, we all learn a thing of two by reading your post! Can you please tell me if I'm right in saying that (in bold you can find my thoughts):
- with TOSLink and Coax you have implemented DPLL (digital phase lock loop), so no matter what clock this asynchronous input have, because they will be reclocked internally by DPLL. You've also determined that "DPLL was indeed perfect sonically";
- before Hugo 2, USB sounded brighter not because it had better transparency, but because of more RF noise --> hence your choice in adding more ferrites to Hugo2 USB input;
- now using Hugo 2 "with HP listening I could hear no difference at all between the USB and optical inputs" --> RF noise gap has been closed by adding more ferrites;
- since "USB does have the benefit of being locked to the FPGA clock" = the path is shorter --> even if they sound the same, USB is to be preferred to Optical (not to mention the increased PCM support).
Thanks for your input!
regarding my previous question, can I kindly ask you if you had the chance to consider it?
Thanks
