dCS U-Clock as interface


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

I hope you all are well.

 

Would it be possible to use the dCS U-Clock as USB-SPDIF interface between my laptop and DAC (Burmester 061 with RCA SPDIF digital input). If so, do you have any experiences with it? When I play CD's, would it be possible to use the U-Clock as masterclock for my CD / DAC too?

 

Thanks!

Dear Chris

 

I have the Burmester 061 as well, and I am building up my CAS with Mac mini + Amarra Mini, so far I have two options to consider:

 

1) Mac Mini USB -> dCS U-Clock -> S/PDIF -> Burmester 061

 

2) Mac Mini FireWire -> Weiss INT202 -> S/PDIF -> Burmester 061

 

If price is not an issue, which option do you think will sound better?

 

As for Burmester 061, it does not have world clock in & out and there is no master/slave option for 061's DAC. If I go for either option 1 or 2, which clock will the 061 DAC follow? Is it default to be slave for all incoming S/PDIF data?

 

Thanks!

I'm using Weiss INT202 via Firewire to connect my Burmester 052

with my MacBookPro (Amarra).It is (or sounds) fantastic and much better than

hear the music from CD-Player.

 

Just buy or update Amarra to the 24/192 and enjoy all HD-Files !

There is the big difference at 16/44.1 comparing to CD too.

 

Your DAC in 061 is much better than my Burmester 052 because you have two BurrBrown chips for SRC. I think there is no need to spend money for dCS U-Clock.

 

I trust Firewire and Weiss more. Of course it would be the best

possibility for you, if you could compare both interfaces at home with testing them...

 

I think via Weiss driver software you can choose the master/slave option.

Normally I use INT202 as Master...As Daniel Weiss said, the most important

thing ist to keep the connection short.

 

If you would have a Player/DAC with wordclock in/out it would probably make sense to go with dCS.
