'powered by an LH Labs LPS-1' ???  Maybe you mean an Uptone Audio LPS-1?

So in essence, that $700 clock board runs the same performance as a $10 Crystek 575.

I don't see how your earlier statements lead to this conclusion.

I suppose those are measurements he took.

If he has measurements of the SOtM sCLK-EX phase noise, I'd love to see them.

@PeterSt how do you account for the fact that lots of people are reporting that different switches sound better than others?  Surely it can't be due to errors/retransmissions causing more processing on the audio PC.

 

Also I think you're saying that with well designed playback software nothing upstream of the audio PC really matters, right?

They are surely hallucinating

It was a serious question for Peter.  I respect his opinion.  I'm not sure his response is going to be that people are just imagining things.

But I estimate that is not what you meant.

Actually, that's exactly what I meant.  Are you saying that if you disconnect the network that nothing upstream of the audio PC matters?

Hmm ... Is "not that I know of" anything for an answer ?

Peter it sounds like you don't believe the stuff that Alex and John Swenson describe ... upstream phase noise fingerprint affecting downstream components and getting past many kinds of isolation techniques?  Am I misinterpreting what you're saying?

So back to the drawing board.

Sorry to hear it didn't work out.  I really hope the new board does the trick.
