UnitiQute 2: S/PDIF jitter mitigation
Posted by: Bruno Ciscato on 17 September 2015
Dos the “UnitiQute 2” mitigate incoming S/PDIF jitter like the Naim DAC, i.e. memory buffers and internal clock?

It does provide some mitigation (at least some buffering); but as to how much work has been put into this, and whether there are additional measures in place, I don't know.
There's no general-purpose DSP in the UnitiQute, unlike the SuperUniti - IIRC it's just a receiver / sample-rate converter chip (e.g., you can enable upsampling in the setup menu to 96kHz).

My experience of the UQ2 is that it is not nearly as effective at reclocking as an NDX or NDAC.

Thanks David,
upsampling does not add any information to the original signal, so I guess I would resample only to send the signal to an external device that only support a 96kHz input. Am I correct? Are there any other reasons to upsample in the UQ2?
