Guys it's a big problem that we can measure all the good parameters for good sound so we are lost....but nothing new under the sun!

Who says we cant , maybe some are unable to read the measurements and deduce valuable informations to understand if it's gonna be a good candidate for a good sound or not 😉

I'm sorry, I wanna said can't....Guys it's a big problem that we can measure all the good parameters for good sound so we are lost....but nothing new under the sun!
Do you mean reclocking or sample rate conversion?Thanks for sharing.
Synchronous or asynchronous reclocking? If it's asynchronous, what's the frequency?
I asked @elviukai about his reclocking scheme, we need to understand what we're talking about here. I don't think he mentioned SRC anywhere, but he did mention reclocking so I asked for details.
(In case you don't know, asynchronous reclocking with 100MHz independent clock used to be popular among diyers here).

Yes, definitely more jitter, but it's uncorrelated to the data being transmitted through the spdif interface. Data correlated jitter is the most objectionable according to many.
I don't know how it sounds (asynchronous reclocking). I went through the trouble of making all my diy dacs with synchronous reclocking. But some people liked the asynchronous method, IIRC.

I would also like to share NOS expierences. I have tried NOS in two dac (one with ad1864/pmd100) other with (pcm1702/sm5813) on had RCRCRC filtering another Sallen Key . in both cases NOS sound is midrange forward, houty unclear and not refined hights and quite flat in terms of depth. it could be that NOS with upsampling to 384-768khz or very steep analog filter could be better.
Yes - in my experience a steep analog filter does clear up the 'shoutyness' of NOS and helps return the sound images to their original places further back in the soundstage. There's no shortage of depth with a steep (say at least 5th order) filter.
sorry i missed that, I will reply soon with details.I asked @elviukai about his reclocking scheme, we need to understand what we're talking about here. I don't think he mentioned SRC anywhere, but he did mention reclocking so I asked for details.

Every so often over the past few years, elviukai and I have shared our HIFI journey. I can vouch for his experience. He has been extremely active in HIFI for quite a while at a pretty high level.
Today I am listening to the PCM1794A chip for the first time in a DAC. I will say, this is a wonderful sounding chip when you consider that you can simply go to mouser and buy them...

Looking forward to the reply. I find that other people describing their experiences is quite valuable to the hobby.sorry i missed that, I will reply soon with details.
sorry again slipped. Its asynchornoys recklocking using 74SN74 each line have separate chip and separate to92 regulator. and its reclocked two times ,so 8 chips and 8 regulators in total. hope this helps.
