even usb cable has an influence in sound shorter cables of same type nearly always sound bettershoom wrote:Hi Nige2000
Yes interesting subject and finding the right I2S work around is the challenge.
‘’pink faun pci e i2s actually converts pcie to usb to i2s?’’
Yes makes very little sense IMHO and has no real advantage other than eliminating the USB lead but some key PSU problems to overcome.
id prefer to have less conversions in the signal path if possibleI was thinking more along the lines of taking I2S straight from the sound card into a Teleporter on short leads. The Teleporter then converts to LVDS which is much more amenable to distance transmission. Then back to I2S at the DAC. Now I’ve tried USB straight into the WAVEIO, straight into my Buffalo and compared to using the Teleporters.
actually prefer a reclocked amanero to the waveio
best of luck finding anything in the build a pc thread as stuff gets buried
I’m a little bit of a technophobe (read slow) and from a pre computer at school generation so I’ll be looking for a few hints when that comes around. I’m having a look at the Audio PC Build thread ATM and its dead good but I may just start a similar one for dummies like myself just to encourage a few more participants to build something nice.
