Thank you for sharing your work - its brilliant.

If my reading is correct, you have slaved the transport to DAC with DAC's master clock replaced using a Tent XO.

A few questions:

1. Did you consider using Superclock 4? Alternatively, would this be an improvement over Tent XO?

2. Another design philosophy is having clock accuracy optimized at transport, i.e. Transport is Master as used in Levinson and MBL highend transports. My experience suggests when Transport is slaved to DAC or external reference clock gives better results. Your insights on this would be interesting.

3. On Power supply, you're using a Tent Shunt Regulator - Please share your results when upgrading power supply. Are you expecting large improvements or would this regulation be good enough?

Thanks.
