I am considering the new Audio-gd DI. I would put the DI between my Sonos ZP90 and Rega DAC as a means of reducing jitter in the digital out on the Sonos.
Two questions:
First, is anyone using the Audio-gd DI with a Sonos, and what is the result?
Second, help me understand the difference between the two models offered. From the best I can tell, the DI-DSP has a second chip for additional processing and offers upsampling - but I am still not clear about this.
Any advice is appreciated. Here is what the Audio-gd site says ...
"What's different between DSP1 and DSP-3.1:
Both DSP1 and DSP-3.1 are based on the Altera Cyclone II chip, but we apply different software to perform different functions. Both have data synchronization to reduce jitter.
DSP1 has a built-in high performance digital filter, it is only used for DAC.
The DSP-3.1 is especially designed for DI only, not designed especially for DAC. It has built-in upsampling which allows output up to 96KHz or 192KHz (In default setting, its output is the original sampling), and designed for high speed SPDIF output, without digital filter."
