Yeat another way to go USB into Naim DAC
Posted by: Guido Fawkes on 25 July 2010
This device eliminates the S/PIF cable and would connect directly to back of the Naim DAC - effectively giving it a 192Khz 24bit sample rate capable USB input.
Anybody had any experience of this device.
I have been using a HiFace, but was about to get the HiFace EVO so it could sit adjacent to my DAC; however this clever little box looks a serious alternative - you just connect it the Naim DAC's BNC port.

As I remember, only two manufacturers, Metric Halo (and Sonic Studio) and Apogee are using their own firewire implementation, Metric Halo/Sonic Studio with very advanced DSPs too, something similar to the Naim DAC. The rest of others like, Mytek, Lynx, Prism, Lexicon, Focusrite, M-Audio, PreSonus, Allen and Heath, Alesis, RME, Motu, etc are using a variation of Dice and JetPLL solutions from TC.
Just for reference / correction ... RME also use their own implementation.quote:From: http://www.rme-audio.de/en_pro...verview_firewire.php
The secret of success: RME is the only manufacturer not to use a third party FireWire audio technology, but an own, self-developed Firewire Audio Core with an outstanding performance and uncompromising pro audio features. We´ve revolutioned and combined the technic with the unique RME features. TotalMix, ultra-low latencies down to one millisecond, including on-the-fly latency changes, support of multiple devices, samplerates up to 192 kHz and much more.
Thanks, my bad, I was aware of this. I have RME Ff400 and 800 as well, actually we are using a ff800 with a Mytek 192ADDA in our PA system with a Yamaha LS9 digital mixer. Last Saturday we were providing this PA system to help Patricia Barber to entertain few hundred people in a wonderful castle
Same speakers for Ms Barber as in my pro audio system at home. quote:Originally posted by AMA:quote:Originally posted by pcstockton:
Like i've said. In 10 years time we will laugh at the existing USB connections on the DAC. I am hoping to use my source for longer than that hopefully.
Longer than 10 years? On the background of a digital market growth?
Patrick, be sure I shall remind you on this post the next summer
Next Summer? Check back in July 2020 and let me know the hoops you must jump through to connect ethernet to your DS.
Anybody any experience of this device - given I'm unlikely to play hi-def audio
Patricia is an interesting gig.quote:Originally posted by ferenc:quote:Originally posted by Eloise:quote:Originally posted by ferenc:
