Has anybody tried this with a PS Audio DAC’s I2S input? I am a happy user of their microRendu into Jr. USB input and am curious about this upgrade. https://www.smallgreencomputer.com/products/ultradigital-usb-to-spdif-and-lvds-i2s-converter

So you guys are not going off of the chart on their website? I am getting the UltraRendu/UltraDigital combo next week…and want to make sure I have the dip switch settings correct. [switch]

[image] huang: Wow I’m thinking about ditching my Signature Rendu for an UltraDigital for native DSD and full Roon compatibility. Does anyone have thoughts on the trade offs? A couple of years ago I looked without success for one of these to replace the Bridge II. I ended up buying a dCS Netw…

For my SGCD, I have only 7 on. PCM won’t matter, just DSD or if you convert PCM to DSD by external software.

just a quick poke on this thread: y’all are making quite a few comparisons between USB and other inputs vs the Bridge II. This is super useful as I’m spending some time trying to maximize performance from my DS. — What is upstream of the DS Bridge II in your comparisons? My bias is toward fewer bo…

Hi @davidl , What cable are you using between the dcs and the dsd? For purely sq purposes I am thinking of getting one of these, (or an AURALIC aries1 ‘ cause it’s a lot cheaper) to go between my fan-less nuc and the dsd. Is the sq improvement worth it? Plus I would have buy new cables as I have inv…

[image] Matrix X-SPDIF 2 Accessories and Tweaks Hey all … I know some of you have this unit… and I have yet to see any negative review on it… For those unaware - this is essentially a USB to I2S converter that seems to mate well with the DS. All reports give it a thumbs …

Transparent Reference AES/EBU. As regards sound quality, in my system the dCS Network Bridge gave a significant improvement in SQ over that from the Bridge 2 in the PSA DAC, and a further smaller improvement when I physically removed the Bridge from the DAC. I’m not sure how relevant my experience …

Thanks Dave, I did In fact read that you had that cable on the dcs forum, but I had forgotten, sorry :slight_smile: yes your path is different to mine. I too have a lot TA cabling but for digital I find them a bit lifeless. If you ever fancy a change in tonal characteristic I would suggest trying Au…

Just received the new Sonore Ultradigital today. It is only powered off the USB buss. For now, I’m going to use an optical Rendu with a Farad Super 3 power supply for the optical Rendu/Ultradigital. I have a signature Rendu on the way in a couple weeks. The ultradigital will be replacing a Matri…

Just want to set the record straight, in case someone else uses the UltraDigital with the DSD MKI. I initially installed using the default settings (first PS Audio column). The Optical Rendu saw the UltraDigital right away and music played. All good so far. Tried Ted’s test files and the bit per…
