Thanks!Lynx PCI cards like AES16, RME PCI cards like HDSP9632. Professional transports
Due to its use of a supercapacitor, is upgrading the power supply on the SU-6 still relevant?
The Matrix X-SPDIF 2 is really, really good, especially when you feed it from a battery device like a laptop. There are no real gains to be had I'm afraid... eternal search for upgrades though right, lol.Has anyone tested this device with speakers? I'm thinking of buying it and replacing my Matrix X-SPDIF 2 that I currently use with my Genelec studio monitors:

I would personally not bother if you already have the matrix. If you were in the market for a DDC the SU-6 is surely a great bet though, but the matrix is likely almost just as good.
You're welcome. I modded an SU-1 with caps and regulator and got a power supply for it. Looking back I might have just saved a lot of trouble and gotten the matrix lol. But modding can be fun, too.Thanks for your answer! I'll save my money for something else.
As I mentioned in the first post, I compared this directly with the matrix spdif2. I found this device better sonically compared to both the matrix and the mutec which I also own. I don’t know why it sounds better but it does. Bass is better and focus and soundstage are better. After 2 months it’s a keeper. I didn’t think anything would beat the matrix as it is a very good unit so I was surprised. I had the matrix and mutec in my system for 6 months. I think of course it depends on your system and how transparent it is. That is my opinion.Has anyone tested this device with speakers?
