Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

OK, better now

Al Sekela had responded to my post above suggesting that I'd let RFI issues back into the system and that was making the HF off kilter and hot. I took Al's advice and played with the placement of R-Cs and plugs.

This time I put the DAC PC into the JR Iso Tranny for the digital end. That's the second outlet, along with the CDP itself. Didn't know for sure if it had the current capacity to handle 2 devices, but it did this quite well. (FYI, mine uses larger capacity transformers than the RS units JR originally recommended, so I have extra headroom.)

That took care of the top end issues pretty quickly and didn't seem to lose any of the other benefits.

Then moved around the transformer tweak and one of the other R-Cs. That helped a bit more.

So clearly, placement and filtering make more difference than I suspected.

But the bottom line is that the top end is tamed again. And the DAC is functioning qutie well. So back to listening....
