Interesting. I tried registering it but it already had been by a previous owner. I may follow it up though, thanks.

Well it is, but prior to it's release they had a Loki DSD DAC. Not sure why they reused the name though.

Thanks for the insight, I'll keep it in mind. At the moment I'm stunned by the Schiit Loki DSD DAC. I'm committing the mortal sin of upsampling all PCM to DSD64 and I can't believe what I'm hearing. The Metrum may well end up for sale!

It unfortunately stopped working ? I was otherwise really happy with it.

The Wyrd hasn't removed the laptop power noise, although it isn't as bad as without the Wyrd inline. I noticed less noise when I remember the media player and hard drive wall warts from the board. So for now it's laptop battery only, might buy a spare or two for longer playback time, although I'm getting 4 hours minimum as it is. Thanks for everyone's help. Cheers Ben

Cool, sounds like worth a try. Thanks!

Did you notice a difference with this software in just the phone's audio?

I've got a Schiit Wyrd on it's way, nothing but great reports for noise isolation and reclocking data. I'll report back.

No optical available.

Thanks for your input, appreciated. The Lightspeed is running off a battery. Using my spdif DAC, no noise at all. It has a separate PSU. Haven't tried that, but as it's plastic I'm not sure it would make a difference?

Sure...

Thanks Chanh, it's a Lenovo with a funny DC input, not sure if it's butcherable?

Have been playing with a USB powered DAC. Headphone amp no probs, no noise whatsoever. Switch to Lightspeed and power amp, horrendous buzz and hum. Pull power on laptop and run on battery, silent background. So aside from getting potentially little time out of the laptop battery, what are my options? The DAC is a Schiit, had already considered their Wyrd de-crapifier which injects cleaner power and disengages laptop power on the USB path, but is there a simpler solution with say a different power supply? Cheers Ben

He does, I know Steve, he's literally a 5 min drive away. But, that DAC is well out of my budget I'm afraid. And I recall his penchant for 44/16 only?

Are the USB inputs on the Klein DAC's good as is or is SPDIF and a separate reclocker preferable?

Thanks all.

Needing to replace my old Audiophilleo 2. What are you using for a converter these days? I do want to keep using my Metrum (SPDIF Coax in) DAC so still need to convert USB. Cheers Ben

Release date is Oct 25 but it's expected here Nov 8. I think a LOT of DS fans have been waiting!

I pre ordered with Discrepency on Tuesday, they tell me their three US distributors are expecting to release on that date. Finally!

Yep I'm doing great and I'm in. Great idea Jon.

Someone buy the Kings Of Convenience album. Just superb. Such great songwriters, amazing natural, warm, intimate recording, stunning pressing. Great showcase for your system.

First try today of a battery on my Lightspeed Attenuator. Can certainly hear a difference. Extended top end and more detail somehow. Increased definition of separation. Very interesting!

Item: Found USB>SPDIF Converter Price Range: Up to $300 Item Condition: New or used Extra Info: After a USB>SPDIF Converter. Prefer one that won't need separate battery power to remove noisefloor. PM me.
