![]() ![]() Said differently, if there is a difference in sound quality between computers or software, then your noise filtering is insufficient. If one can effectively filter this noise (as the Octave Server apparently will), it becomes difficult to logically explain how upstream components or bit perfect software can affect sound quality. (Noise can also be created by the circuits that convert whatever “input” one is using to I2S, so choice of input may be important). It is transmitted to the DAC through those connecting cables and/or the AC distribution system. This noise can be generated by upstream components and software, and/or imparted on connecting cables. I agree with here - with digital signals, if you compare bit perfect data on a DAC that is essentially immune to external jitter (which you can do with the DS DAC -thank you!), the only logical difference that can effect sound quality is noise that is mixed with the digital signal. Our thinking has all been conditioned through the years of using analog signals where experience has taught us that everything matters and the best way to determine differences is through listening. Yes, but I think when you are using digital signals, issues of sound quality become logically easier. Call these dust collectors, stealth units, whatever … they are what raise the game on these devices and they are relatively new innovations, the Orfeo in the G series of devices and a new power design in the Innuos Mk3 units. Auralic developed their Orfeo output module and Innuos a bespoke internal linear power supply. I can’t think of a clearer analogy as to why certain manufacturers have spent the last 10 years or more refining hardware and software to deliver just one parcel - a music stream - in the quietest and most efficient manner, with extremely good results.Ī fundamental issue is the low noise output, not something that consumer laptop and desktop manufacturers worry about. You might think about modifying the big truck to make it more efficient, but at the end of the day it’s still a big truck with a big noisy motor. If you want to deliver just one packet with little or no noise or dust, you wouldn’t use the big truck, you’d design vehicle that is lighter, more efficient and that hardly leaves a trace. ![]() Analogous to a big truck loaded with 100 packets out for delivery at the same time, making loads of noise and kicking up dust. A Mac Mini can run 100 apps at the same time. ![]()
