Geshelli J2S DAC and Sparkos SS2590 - YES!

[Edward Ng]

Has anyone compared the J2S coax input vs toslink? I am trying to discern any differences, but so far have not been very successful. They must be very close. The toslink seems to play a bit louder, so I have to adjust the volume at a lame attempt to volume-match the two inputs.

Sorry, I am using an iFi SPDIF iPurifier2 reclocker and I prefer sticking its coax output directly into the JNOG3’s coax input rather than sticking an extraneous optical cable plus double conversion (to and from optical) between its optical out and the DAC’s optical input.

I have found the SPDIF reclocker to be an improvement over the output of my WiiM Ultra. I bought a small linear power supply with 5V USB output to feed the iFi rather than use the included switch mode block, too.
