STREAM Series Megapost

@Stephen Healy
If my Dac have soundwise equal inputs of SPDIF and USB which board would you recommend for the Stream1 ? SPDIF oder PhoenixUSB board? I guess the USB is the favorite from Innuos but please could you explain why?

There's just more quality potential with USB, can support higher resolutions and more formats, more bandwitch, two-way communication with separate timing/clock channels.

thank you

Anyone heard a Stream1 yet?

Not yet. My dealer has a demo unit. He said he ordered his demo units and my Stream1 at the same time … expected to have it sooner…. 8.5 weeks and counting

Slightly annoyed actually as rushed with the order in hope to get my hands on it asap but it is now likely I can see and hear it after a longish summer hols

Would you mind letting me know which dealer you have placed the order with? I can chase it on our end!

Curious: most DACs use asynchronous USB (and other asynchronous inputs) which strip the timing/clock data from the incoming stream and reclock to the DACs internal clock.
How much more bandwidth do we need for audio, we are not likely to run out of transfer capacity.
