I have been running 24/192 to an XMOS reference board with a variety of USB cables for days now and monitoring errors with TUSBAudio SPY program. There have been zero errors of any kind with any of the cables I have tried. One is a 16-foot Belkin Gold. Another is a cheap Emerson 16-footer. The XMOS board is powered from the cable, nothing fancy. I am using KS with Foobar2000 on a Win7 hp laptop. Based on this, I'm not convinced that errors ever occur with an impedance-matched cable. Maybe if the system has noisy ground-loops you could have errors??? |

Sometimes users complain they can hear e.g. their mouse when using a USB DAC I don’t think you can rule out CRC errors Lindemann offers a couple of explanation why you might get errors. The Well Tempered Computer |

I believe CRC errors would be reported by USB SPY. |

Can you provoke them e.g. remove shielding, wrap around a PSU, voltage regulator?

I don't think that data corruption is a main concern here. It's been Gordon who came up with the subject not long ago. I think he was/is still fishing for a reason why the hell he and a million other users still experiencee differences on transport tuning measures (SW and HW). For sure it's not all "common mode noise". ;) Anyhow. Thx for letting us now. ----------------------------------------------------------------- blog latest >> The Audio Streaming Series - tuning kit pCP |
