Have a new DAC with upsampling and am not using this unit. PC included.
$175 shipped CONUS. The new sexy ones got for $250 - $300.
Its main functions:
Jitter reduction/signal conditioning
Signal Boosting(to 6 times higher)
Ground Isolation(to avoid noise/hum)
Format change(from Opto to RCA, from RCA to Balanced, etc)
Data Alignment (new data stream output)
The most dramatic feature is the Classic?s built-in precision clock.
The original clock retrieved from the transport is abandoned.
A new reference clock is introduced to hold the sampling frequency
at a precision 44.1KHz(standard CD format, hence the name "Classic")
This precision clock, at a strong signal strength, allows any conventional
D/A converter to operate with far better precision and efficiency, resulting
in higher definition, better instrument localization, wider and deeper sound
field , and above all, more involving music enjoyment.
The DIP Classic accepts all 2-channel stereo signals, with sampling frequency
from 32 Khz to 96Khz. The output will work with ALL D/A converters.
