@iFi audio Do you have any data on daisy chaining too many usb reclockers? Is it possible that too many would introduce errors?

Definite upticks in resolution, 3-dimensionality, liquidity and tonal integrity. The Focal Clear OG have never sounded this good!

Spotify subscription cancels on 12/14.
Will be going "full CD transport" with Shanling ET3 running USB out to Mojo Audio Mystique [NOS 24/192] XMOS USB in only.
You tube hd1080 video much better than spotify.
I cancelled my apple music subscription because i have no time to listen lately but I had an offer from spotify for 3.99£ for 4 months and i almost regret even paying that kind of money. I do not like it at all.
When i have time to listen to music again i am going cd quality streaming immediately.

Agreed. Spotify usually has on-par or worse audio quality than YouTube.

I want to buy cd's and rip them myself simply because WAV sounds smoother than flac
If you have the time do it. Even better. For me streaming is the only option but i want the best streaming possible.
I used to love tidal but then apple come along and it sounds even fantastic even from android.
Amazon hd disappointed me because was reverting automatically to lower rates even with my fiber optic home network. It was like cheating.
You have great electronics and chain so at least with the same money you pay for Spotify you can have much better quality that maybe even ipurifier3 cannot give you alone.

Just wish more publishers would release WAV files, I know you can just convert FLAC to WAV but I reckon it'd sound slightly different.
I believe you.
Streaming is just so convenient that i am willing to accept a tiny sacrifice in sound quality. But from cd quality streaming to much less is a sacrifice i cannot accept given that there is no price difference anymore. Moreover with apple streaming you have also a small portion of songs (ac/dc in particular) in higher bitrate than even cd bitrate in the same price.
They gave me this offer of 3.99£ to convinceme to come back but they managed to do exactly the opposite.

Can someone tell me if ipurifier 3 will make a difference to my chord mojo when it is connected via optical cable? I am using a douk audio U2 proUSB to SPDIF converter to connect to mojo's optical input. Is jitter a bigger problem on coax vs optical ?

it'll sound different but I don't know if it's worth the full price tag.

With questions like this, I always answer this way.
You need to hear for yourself if it is beneficial for your listening, that being said always buy from a retailer or shop that will allow you a no-questions-asked return policy, just in case it is not for you.
Experimenting and discovering is what we are all here for, but your ears in the end will tell the tale.
Cheers!!
