very small company

IMHO, the best music always comes from small shops. Large companies always sacrifice music for dollars :-D

Kneel before lord Miska... Nope 😁 

From uncivil newbie to uncivil newbie ;-)

 

It took me 8min to read up on PLL, Benchmark and async USB, and its complete nonsense you wrote about it.

 

Also, the white papers from benchmark are null haha

ok, I stop here for civility sake....

 

but let me quote from benchmark

https://benchmarkmedia.com/blogs/application_notes/inside-the-dac2-part-2-digital-processing

The DAC2 USB interface uses the asynchronous data transfer mode to pull audio data from the computer. A clock generated inside the DAC2 is used to transfer the data. The asynchronous mode eliminates the need to recover a conversion clock from a potentially noisy computer-generated clock. For this reason, the asynchronous transfer mode produces almost no jitter, and any jitter that is produced by the USB subsystem is fully-removed by the UltraLock2 jitter attenuation system.

I wish I could hear some improvement, but there just wasn't. Sorry,

is a coloration

 

How do you know?

 

you think that every part in the chain adds coloration? ok, but what if part one has impact -1.23 and part two has impact +1.23? (just trying to "abstract" coloration..;-) each part would add "coloration" by itself but not in combo with the other part.

 

Yes, we should have a minimal approach as it makes it easier to understand and optimize the whole system, but as EInstein said "as easy as possible, but not easier"....just leaving something out, a preamp in this case, might make it either easier (good) or to easy (not good)....

 

All I say is, that you stated a oversimplification that less is ALWAYS more....its NOT

haha, not at all, just not let people state "facts" without hearing the truth (pun intended)

I'm impressed with the sloppiness on the botton given the near perfection on the top side.

Haha...yep, what made the Swiss famous by meticulously crafting even what will never hit the eye of the consumer (think watch movements before there were glass bottoms...still the movements were finely decorated), is long gone....a wrong sense of capitalism cheats the customer....just mho....
