RE: REVIEW: LessLoss DAC MKII DAC Processors

Posted by clio09 on April 26, 2009 at 08:46:44:

If you recall you recommended the TC Electronic Konnekt 8 to me a while back. Unfortunately I have still not pulled the trigger on it. My reason is that I have been enjoying this DAC in master mode for so long now with the CEC TL-51X that I still don't think a reasonably priced computer set-up can beat it. Liudas offered to sell me the LL USB converter that plugs into the digital input on the back of the DAC, but I haven't done that either.

I had the same idea with the Transporter, but according to Liudas the clock frequency in my DAC is 16.XXX and so any transport or device with a word clock input must have a clock with the same frequency for the DAC to operate in master mode. Some LL DACs have jumpers where you can change the clock frequency for the Word output, mine does not. Reason I bring this up is if the clock frequencies in your DAC and the Transporter were different, maybe you were not getting the best performance.

Still it is good to know that you see the benefits of running the combo so the DAC is in master mode, This is the best digital set-up I have heard, not that I have heard them all, but I've heard enough. It does come the closest to analog IMO.
