Popular Post Superdad Posted February 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2018 9 hours ago, T-Bone said: The point remains the same, I2S skips a receiver chipset and is one less conversion of your audio signal before hitting the DAC chip. Well you are just shifting the USB>I2S conversion to an external box. As I have pointed out before, the USB input of the Spring is fine and typical—and about the same as the Singxer SU-1. What makes the I2S sound better is that using it bypasses the Spring’s cheap clocks and allows the much lower phase-noise Crystek CCHD-575s of the SU-1 to become the master clock for the DAC. A mod to upgrade the clocks in the Spring would tip things the other way. 4est and T-Bone 2 UpTone Audio LLC Link to comment
