In Reply to: RE: $!000 for a USB ) I2S converter? posted by Tony Lauck on February 09, 2016 at 05:48:15
You spend a lot of time on posting about where a clock should be and not it's quality, the method of transmission, the quality of any plls in place, or it's power supply. All these, and other factors matter.You have clearly not experienced the various ways that a system can be set up to sound good or 'better' with hardware but have replied on added software, computer processing, and equalisation to set up your audio preferences.
It is absolutely useless having crap clocks next to the dac chip, which many mid priced or even high priced dacs have, including your dac.

I see that The Analog DAC that Mercman is presently using has an I2S input that sends out a clock to the transport, so that I2S clocking can be done properly.

If you have sufficient experience with clocks, you will find that external clock arrangements don't always sound better than recovered clocks with a narrow pll.
There are so many variables, including the cable and connector impedance, that nothing theoretical is always best.
When t comes to clocking, the integrity of the signal and the impedance are of greater importance than where the XO is, given that these must have the lowest phase noise possible.
