Actually I don't care.
The difference in the sound quality is all that matters to me.
I don't know why Windows Server 2016 sounds better than Windows 10.
I also don't know why running the OS entirely in RAM sounds better.
Bit perfect locally reclocked should also sound the same in all different Transports, be it mechanical or software but it just dosen't.
I stay away from endless theoretical debates and try things out myself.
Thats very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Please just ignore the trolls. If they cant feed on their hate they will go somewhere else.
How do you send data to the Monism - is it ethernet from a PC? What software players work ?

I assure you my objections are sincere; as is I believe, that of others in this thread. Some are just asking questions and making observations, regarding technical difficulties and usefulness. This is a public forum, if something is being pushed as an ultimate solution, it should be able to withstand some basic critique.
It is easy to try and frame people who disagree with you as trolls, just out to cause trouble for enjoyment, but it isnt accurate to the definition of the word, while query and critique is sincere; however unpalatable it is to you personally.
And with that i'll move on again and leave you to it again, I just had to clarify my position.

Nice find with the Monism card. The 4x mono out could be great for a stereo four-way active speaker system, with one card in each speaker and hopefully good timing integrity with Dante between stereo speakers.
Please can I ask some really basic questions?
1. Does the Monism do different digital data out formats like "right justified" for PCM1704, or is it I2S only?
2. Does Windows recognise the Monism card as an audio device over ethernet or do you need special drivers and software?
3. Did you ever get the Brooklyn dante card to work with a DAC? If so what's the sound like compared to the Minism?
Thanks.
The Monisms need the regular Dante Software. Channel routing is for free but for the Virtual soundcard you need to pay $30 For clocking, one device can be chosen as the master which makes all additional devices slaves that are in perfect sync.
The 16 channel Dante Card sends out all channels in bus format. The ak4493 can be programmed to receive this format but I have no time to learn I2C programming.
The ak4493 dac boards that I use for modding are in software mode and are being controlled via I2C by a seperate chip already. I want to tap into these programming lines but as I said I can't programm.
I am happy with the Monisms boards so I am in no hurry to get the 16 channel board working.
