Trouble is there is virtually no choice in the market, especially high sampling rate ones. Maximum is 96k.

What are some of the good ones on the market?? Ive ordered a Zhaolu 2.5 dac to connect to my my PC. I will be using my XFI spdif output, and ive read its not exactly a low jitter sound card. Would I be better off with an anti-jitter box, or just a better sound card??
The Big Ben really works, but it's expensive compared to your audio card. I have also heard about another true S/PDIF reclocker, but I cannot remember it.
Genesis digital lens, thats the one I could not remember. Have heard good things about this. I believe it is a true reclocker.
There are currently Monarchy Audio and MAudio CO3.The Sonic Frontier Ultrajitterbug is good but I think the jitter reduction is limited. The Assemblage D2D is good but don't use the upsampler. Monarchy Audio and D2D are good to 96k.
Don't know any other. My UA2192 has clock cleaning and the dCS 972 too.
Sorry Im kind of a newbie to all this digital stuff. What you guys are saying is that there are basically two types of "anti-jitter" devices, the true reclocker and the async sample rate converter? And a true reclocker is more effective at reducing jitter? What category do the classic AA DTI and Monarchy DIP fall under?? I was under the assumtion that these were reclockers? And something like the Behringer src2496 was the Async resampler. Am I on the right track?
The DIP and Behringer are ASync upsamplers. The AA device I believe is a reclocker, but limited to 44.1 I believe. Way ahead of its time..
Does the Maudio reduce jitter as well as covert optical to spdif or aes?
M-Audio devices CAN reduce jitter over that of the USB bus, but only if the board design is well-executed and the PLL clock is low jitter. Stock stuff just doesnt have these things IMO. There will still be jitter due to the clock and the PLL.
