Hi All,
  It seems DDC's and streamers are all the rage and I'm wondering if updating would be worth it.  My streamer is an old (old?) Roon, to an Auralic Aries with the FEMTO clock via ethernet, going to a Yggdrasil via AES.  I noticed the improvement in clarity and timing immediately when I first put it in the system, so I think Aries must have a good clock.  I've read that the newer generations of the Aries are somewhat better and then there are the multitude of bang for the buck streamers getting stellar reviews.  I'm not sure if getting one of these streamers or a DDC would really make much of an improvement.
Any advice?

Your question never got an answer, but I'm interested in this topic as well.

I've recently been looking at the Singxer SU-6 digital to digital converter and the Holo Audio Red DDC & Network streamer, and I wonder how much they differ. Which one best suits my needs? Is the DDC in the Holo Audio Red as good as the DDC in the Singxer SU-6?

I'm looking for a really good yet not too expensive DDC (under $1000 USD). What suggestions have people got?

Let's talk!

I had a Denafrips Gaia DDC at one point, and it made a noticeable improvement -- similar to a cable upgrade. Since it's an expensive tweak, I won't buy another DDC. Instead, I put my money into beefing up the power supply in my Eversolo streamer.
