The point I'm trying to make is this: For a USB interface there are 3 modes of data transfer: 1) Synchonous - Clock in micro/ultraRendu is used (least desirable) 2) Adaptive - DAC attempts to sync with or adapt to clock in micro/ultraRendu. 3) Asynchronous - Clock in micro/ultraRendu is not used at all!... Hence the name Asynchronous (most desirable mode for data transfer). But I guess I'm missing an understanding of the purpose of the clocks in the micro/ultraRendu... Can you please elaborate? Thanks. When it comes to clocks, everything matters. We are finding that improving the clocks that control the Ethernet interface, the USB interface, even the processor, improves overall SQ. So it is no surprise that these improvements, among others, in the UltraRendu have resulted in superior SQ. Even the specific case of asynchronous USB is far more complex than you think. While it is true the DAC controls the end to end sample rate, and can adjust it as needed, the data itself is still clocked by the source. This is why even with async USB, the quality of the "source" still matters. This is why regenerators actually help! @JohnSwenson has probably explained this more times than he can count, but I found this one to finally make me understand: Enjoy! hicr49, Jeremy Anderson, MikeyFresh and 1 other 4 My Audio Setup Link to comment
