What about if you just removed the cable altogether? Hey presto zero RF interference. Perfect. Or........

Perfect darkness and zero noise. Is there any flaw in your theory? None that I can hear.

No, not quite. Check your facts please.
SPDIF is 24bit and biphase coding overhead brings the bitrate in each half of a DX signal closer to 50Mbits/sec. Nyquist theory says you need a channel capacity of double that to pass. Two cables, two streams at this rate give you the full DX rate.
OptoDX has a steep filter above 100mhz to stop passage of any and all high frequency noise, plus it has inherent optical galvanic isolation.

It was just a rough estimate, I didn't double it for Nyquist though.
It depends on the total bit rate which is not close to the 384kHz that was being discussed.

Thanks Ray-dude!

Thank you for the introduction to Blue Coast collections , I'm currently listening to their various artist album Vol 1, phenomenal production, superb!

Cheers

There’s no harm in allowing another man to enter you, musically.

Whistling in your ear is not classed as "musically".

It's classed as a "distraction", but for what ???

 

[musickid]

"The very best of Jean-Luc Ponty". The album focuses on the 1975-85 era when he was signed to Atlantic. Electric jazz violin fusion.

Single BNC is dual channel 384khz capable and in dual BNC mode each bnc is 768khz single channel capable.

 

[musickid]

My understanding is 2 cables each transmitting 384khz and combined that makes 768khz.

A Single bnc cable is capable of a 384khz signal for the left channel and a 384khz signal for the right, aka 384khz Stereo sound. If both signals were combined to send a mono signal instead of a stereo one, you get a 768khz mono stream.

When connected to the mscaler as dbnc, both the left and right channels on a single bnc cable are combined to stream an upto 768khz mono stream, example for your left ear only, the other bnc cable in dbnc mode does the same but for the right ear or speaker.

Giving a true 768khz signal for each ear.

 

[musickid]

Got it. 2 mono 768khz signals with 2 cables L+R gives us 768khz stereo.

The lengthy review has recently appeared in which the benefits the Mscaler brings to different Chord DAC are described. As always it is one person's opinion, but his comments about how the Mscaler has transformed the sound of the Qutest concur with my own experience.

 

[LeMat]

Solid review! Thanks for the link!
Dave still rules though it seems to be more a matter of taste than technical superiority at this stage.

 

[GreenBow]

Sorry if this is slightly off topic, and I don't have an M-Scaler (yet). However the Blue Coast music that ray-dude has posted about is great stuff. I have listened to two albums straight through on YouTube and will for sure buy probably all of it.

I’d have thought there’d certainly be less harm in being entered by another man musically than being entered by him analytically... that could be painful.

Yeah, but playing some Kenny G on a M Scaled TT2 should turn it into a more analogue experience.
And there's always the possibility of adding a few clip on ferrites which could reduce the pain even further..
YMMV though.
