Oh, that's just classic!   I got a good yuck out of that and on Newegg no less.

I know right?! It's a good little show about tech stuff in general... Wish someone would do that for DACs and headphones... The PulseX next to some hd800s or LCD-X.

So funny, yet so true

Did we ever find out what decision was made re: SPDIF out?

 

[RHMMMM]

Yeah, they removed it and I am quite sure the consensus from voting was to replace the option with a Mu metal shield over the clock. If you are interested in this DAC, you need to sign up over at the Geek Force forums at lhlabs.com and follow the threads there. It is the defacto source of information on this.

Thanks, I would but I have accounts in like 20 forums and I'm happy enough getting 2nd hand info here in Head-Fi lol.

This is very offtopic, but there was a video series about this called Unboxing Porn on revision 3  https://revision3.com/unboxingporn

Hope the shield is not only over the clocks, but also over the part the clock is going to: the dac IC, so clock and dac are under one roof.
A 2 Layer shielding will be really good. The outer case as general shield and the mu-metal for the high-precision parts. Wow!

 

[eliwankenobi]

Afaik, the mu metal shield will cover the clocks only

 

[LucasB]

So at least the generation of the signal is immune to emi - guess a bigger mu-metal-housing would cost maybe too much? At some point it is maybe just good enough - if the signal is strong and the path is short from clock to dac that is maybe sufficient.

And the super quite clock power supply too...

And the super quite clock power supply too...

Ah, yes!! The power supply as well

Grazie mille!

Anybody knows if of all that spdif as well a bnc-spdif will be onboard? I have one specific item in mind for connecting to the pulse that only features bnc-spdif.

 

[RHMMMM]

I don't think it has BNC, but BNC to RCA adapters do exist and work fine. In fact they came with my Stereovox XV2 coax digital cable...

 

[LucasB]

Yeah I know. But I looked it up on wikipedia and even if both are 75OHM in the spdif-specs, the bnc-style has a little bit different voltage levels. I just thought since we all have 2 rca, I would be up for switching one. Buying another adapter is possible but just thinking why… I do not know why some source-drivers (multi-disc or sd-players) feature only bnc-style out. We will see. Anyway it is a good dac already.

I asked Larry to include a BNC S/PDIF connection way back in the beginning of the campaign but he stated that most people use RCA therefore BNC would not be included.

Humm i missed the campaign, is it possible in anyway to still buy for 300$?
