Yeah it would be interesting to see if the reclocker can completely isolate all the upstream grit. When you hear about the thousands some spend on their computers tweaking them out to the max, it would make much more since having a simple reclocker if it can replace all the need for these tweaks.
Has S03 isolator/reclocker totally separate ground from PC? How low is noise on PS that feeds clock?
IMO, these are deciding factors.

Relevant to the discussion at hand, here's a link to some recent John Swenson tips on building a computer power supply:

All these have been covered in the re-clocker project:

It is all in the works and looking good! I will give further updates early next year on how the final product looks like. Right now, lots of tweaking and testing...
cos, you gave me more twisted homework 😀
anyway, new boards with all the improvements are already in fab 🙂
This may be of interest;

Very interesting, well done!
I am just curious if all these tweaks improve on the standings?

To be honest Acko, the ES9018 rarely gets any air time now and I'm even beginning to think about moving it on.
The subnet is just about optimising the environment in which the NAA operates.

Acko's supply's would probably be excellent. As long as you have 20-25W any voltage from 12-24 works fine.
See the power supply consideration chart, and maybe Acko can make a recommendation for what he can offer.
Hi Acko,
6-7 months ago I was chatting with the guy at DIYINHK about building a new multichannel DSD capable USB interface based on the new XMOS XCORE-200 chips. He said thanks for the idea, and he will consider it. Well I was just on his website, and seen that he actually built it and it's up for sale! But it's looking like external clocks will be required to take advantage of the DSD. I was thinking perhaps together with an 8 channel version of your reclocker, a killer multichannel DSD capable USB interface could be made for use with your Direct Drive DSD DAC.
I have emailed to ask more details about the capabilities. But this chip is much more powerful than any other the other chips any of the other Xmos based USB interfaces are using. DSD 512 over 8 channel should be possible. And driverless with Linux NAA as well!!

They got back to me and they are going to try to get the firmware working for DSD 256 over 8 channels with HQ player on Linux! So we will see how it pans out.
The chip has more than enough power. 4x the power of the chip JL sounds uses. 2000 mips vs 500 mips.
Plus it can be custom programmed by the end user via an adapter module and Windows software.
They say it can even do DSD 1028! But probably only over 2 channels.
