Noticed it appears to have an AES/EBU output?
Is that the same, better or worse than I2S?
Might that work with my new Audio-gd Master 7 which has an AES input as well as HDMI, RCA and optical?
Coming to the DAC shootout on the 20th?

I missed the notification on the DAC shootout, - and I have full on guests in my crib through February
Yeah, - that guy does work well with the Master 7, = as several people that are praising the synergy with the Master 7 specifically.
"Asylums with doors open wide,

Oh well, if you want to hear the Master 7 in an awful, distorted SET/Horns system, it's up and running out here on the Great Highway along with a Mac Mini set up by the same guy in Denver who did Paul McGowan's Mac as shown when he demo'ed his stuff here a month or so ago.
What I really want to compare is my multi-bit R2-R Ladder DAC and the PS Audio Direct Stream with the latest software.
THAT would interest me. I will get to hear it compared to SCHIIT's latest, the Yggdrasil, which should be VERY interesting!
I've heard the Yggdrasil paired with their best headphone amp driving a pair of HiFiMan HE-1000's at RMAF last year. Let's just say that MIGHT better my Master 11 but all I have to play with is Senn HD-600's. :-(
Master 7 is an even better DAC than the Master 11 so the 'shoot out' might be interesting.
At the end of the day, it's all GOOD.
None of it is BAD.
Yeah..
I would like to hear it...
The DirectStream upsamples everything to DSD on the fly, -then does the special filtering thing.
It would be great to compare with the GD-Audio.

Yes, the AES/EBU output on the breeze to the Master 7 sounds excellent.

As you have RJ45 on your Master 7, how does the Breeze sound better, via RJ45 or AES/EBU and how are the different?
They are very very close. I really don't know if in a blind test I would hear the difference. The AES may be a touch smoother than the I2S but that could be cable differences. For AES I use a Mogami digital xlr cable and for I2S I use an Audioquest Eithernet cable. I think the I2S has a little more resolution and supposedly the Master 7 I2S input is supposed to be the best input.

That's if I have the right product?
Link below:
That was a bulk price. Are you buying a bunch to give as Valentine gifts?
The one that everyone is going nutso about is the $184 with the Talema transformer and the gold clocks. Still $184 is super cheap......

Still not the price of a REALLY good USB cable. ;-)
Another link. I think you have to email and ask about the upgrade. I think it is $20 maybe.
