Bas,
I'm interested to hear what the Tent Clock does in my RAKK dac as well! I spoke with Ken, the distributor of the Philips transport and he said they will have their own dejitter module out by late June for the transport itself. But...you can add a Tent Clock to this transport on your own, its all detailed on the Daisy laser site (http://www.daisy-laser.nl/homeoptics/), however its somewhat of a hack job on the transport circuitry and if you screw up a little bit...
Best,
Anand.

  Bas,
  Cleans it up. Blacker silence, more decay, smoother overall. Probably even more effective on the digital input in the RAKK dac, but I haven't experimented with it yet.
  Expensive tweak though. So really, if you want to just add some frosting to the cake, otherwise...
  Anand.

    Hi Anand,
    Interesting. So wha did you do with the Bybee and what was the result?

      Dave,
      You'll see on my RAKK dac on your webpage that I have hooked it up to AC neutral and AC hot. This is usually the first place they recommend you hook up the Bybees in electronics. You can also use them on the analogue outputs and digital inputs. And you can use them on hot side of speaker leads (right at the terminals of the driver). However, the explanation that I read from Jack Bybee's website sounds like *flooby dust*, and the Bybees aren't cheap at $75 each (lowest prices are at Parts Connexion, VH Audio and Mpercy I believe). Its still for experimenters. Again, blacker silence, smoother overall and a little bit more musical. Just icing on the cake, but not some grand slam wack you in the head difference. This might be the type of tweak that is cumulative, but then again...you wonder where your money is going. Not to dissuade you from trying it :-) You might want to contact Jack Bybee and get a pair (at a discount) just for experimenting since you are a manufacturer (I know Kevin isn't into these types of tweaks but he is more than happy to hear about them and more than happy to have his customers give them a try as long as they are safe...).
      On that note...I think Guido's Tent Clock will be a much greater upgrade...and hence is offered as a product by K&K audio.
      YMMV, IMHO, etc...
      Anand.

        Hi Anand,
        Thanks for the explanation. I have heard about the Bybee products but have not yet had a chance to audition them. They are pricey and there are already a lot of things on my list of things to try.
        Dave
  - Yeah out of my price range...thanks for the response. - Bas Horneman 12:55:34 05/17/05 (0)
