RE: Tony's Player

John.

I'd approach the thing differently.

What we need is a DAC with the best possible signal recovery/restauration on it's input. It should be an external standalone device.

The Transport side should become kind of irrelevant. It shouldn't matter If I use my PC,SBT,iPad,Android as long as the signal is bit perfect.
Working on the transport side is much too complex.

What IMO matters is a device which can talk to all those commonly used devices and comes up with the same SQ from all of them.


When is comes to usability ( two button control !?!?!): I've been presenting my stuff feeding an Anagram DAC on a DIY-fair. We compared it to ec-designs SD-player.
The majority in the room (all audiophile nuts - including me) prefered
the iPeng control of the simplistic SD player control. The differences in SQ were subtle. The differences in operating the devices were unacceptable to all of them.

I think spending more work on SB kind of projects is waste of time.

Buy a Rasberry PI at 35$ that runs squeezeplayer at up to 192khz and hook up a USB DAC to it.


BTW:

Have you checked out "IANcanada"'s reclocker project @ DIY-audio- digital section?? Perhaps a nice building block to make a better DAC.




Good luck.
