Hi and thanks for the very valuable advice.
Maybe i am wrong but however a reclocking always happens at dac level with usb asynchronous transmission.
Maybe the quality of the usb signal reaching the xmos receiver can have an impact.
I am only sure that electrical isolation from the pc is mandatory.
I am playing with a simple usb isolator and the sound cleans up a lot because my present device, an Aune x1s, needs power in the usb port (very sad).
So final jitter actually is related to the quality of dac internal clock.
I am sure that if a usb dac is very well designed and built the pc upstream has to be only decent. The secret is in the usb dac.
Or in the usb to spdif converter. The better they are the less dependent from the pc source.
If the usb interface is not top i am sure devices like the Regen could be very beneficial.
Maybe i am wrong.
Kind regards,
