RE: You were willing and able...

You need to get in touch with your inner audiophile. The seed has been planted. You can drag me through the mud all you want but that won't change the fact that if you don't soon compare the various inputs of your DAC1 to the USB input you're going to soon start developing symptoms.

Then you'll go through the five stages of audiophile nervosa:

1) Denial: You're going to turn off your computer, leave us know-minds to our obsessions and go enjoy your benchmark DAC1 in USB mode tonite. That's right! You don't need us! We don't NEED NO stinking Asynchronous direct-I2S DACs!

2) Anger: Once in the second stage, you'll hear the sound of a fat lazy bee (with my face) droning around your audio chair saying Syyyyyyyyyyynchronous! Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiter! Weeeeeeeeeeeee! And you'll slap away at this mental insect buzzing around you - and you'll become very very angry.

3) Bargaining: You'll come on here and defend the DAC1 because although synchronous USB is a jitter-prone mine field, it doesn't matter because the DAC1 is the worlds best DAC with the worlds best jitter rejection.

4) Depression: Like any good audiophile, you'll become obsessed about even the remote possibility this annoying jerk on AA might have a point. Slowly, you'll start to wear down - all of the logic and reason that you've used as a defense will become cloudy. You skip nervously from track to track... wondering.... fearing.... obsessing....

5) Acceptance: You A-gon your DAC1 and get a shiny brand spanking new Asynchronous Direct-I2S DAC and set yourself free. Free. You're free.

Why not just skip to step five and save yourself all that AGONY?

Agon or Agony. The choice is yours.

Cheers,
Presto
