Article: CAPS Twenty | Part One


Recommended Posts

This is a fascinating project, and let's be honest, it looks pretty cool too.

 

As it happens, the CAPS Twenty would not really be much use in my system.  My DAC / Devialet prefers a 24/192 input, and indeed cannot accept anything higher than 32/192 via USB.  So not for me. 

 

It has got me thinking though, what would my perfect "end point" look like?  Well, it would probably have AES/EBU output.  I do not have strong views regarding USB versus S/PDIF (I know some do), it is just a that that I find the Devialet sounds best when fed via AES/EBU, so in my case that is what my perfect end point would have.  I'd also like to be able to utilise my Mutec REF10.  So I guess I will be little more that an interested observer of this particular product, but it has got me thinking about what might be possible in this area.

Windows 11 PC, Roon, HQPlayer, Focus Fidelity convolutions, iFi Zen Stream, Paul Hynes SR4, Mutec REF10, Mutec MC3+USB, Devialet 1000Pro, KEF Blade.  Plus Pro-Ject Signature 12 TT for playing my 'legacy' vinyl collection. Desktop system; RME ADI-2 DAC fs, Meze Empyrean headphones.

I love that it got you thinking about what’s possible. It got others thinking about nefarious things. 

Those VU meters give me nefarious thoughts, I have to admit.  👀
