Slave Transport to DAC-AH

regal · 6th August 2006, 09:16 PM

With all the benifits of slaving your transport to your DAC, I thought of a cheap way to do this. Since the MCLK of the CS1814 isn't used on the DAC-AH could you use this output to replace the oscillator of a 11.28GHZ CD Player.

Less Loss Audio claims huge jitter reduction by running your treansport as a slave. This would cost basically nothing for those of us with the DAC-AH or other non-reclocking CS1814 NOS DAC's.

What a great idea. Doing that will certainly eliminate all jitter. Go for it!

Interesting. Unless I am mistaken the DAC-AH has no onboard oscillator. If you remove the oscillator in the transport, where will the oscillations come from?

Who cares about oscillators; the prime impetus of this forum is the elimination of jitter. That's why regal's idea is so ingenious. No oscillator = no jitter. Brilliant!

No oscillator No sound. Unless you are after the Golden Sound of Silence

And that's when the DAC-AH is at it's best. That DAC sounds worse than any AC97 CODEC I've ever heard.

What about a different DAC with an oscillator, is the MCLK out of the CS1814 worth while to drive a slave transport?

Think about it. The CS8414 derives MCLK from the SPDIF signal.
