(01-Jun-2016, 00:07)Music or sound Wrote: I was reading: http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2016/0...ty-varies/ and it states that audio USB (isosynchronous) has no error correction. So a builtin server/renderer would make all USB problems and the ways of ameliorating these (expensive cables, filters, reclockers) less relevant if the transmission allows for error correction and internal clocking. I listened at the recent High End to the Totaldac d1 integral-headphone a DAC with builtin server and was quite impressed.
I guess the sonic benefit will depend on how that server will be implemented. I am still not convinced that upgrading my D-premier to D250 was a money well spent so I will be hesitant with any further upgrade!

Sorry to go a wee bit of subject, but I have a pair of D-Premiers and haven't bothered with the D250 upgrade (twice the cost). Now if there was a new beaut Hardware upgrade to come out that I could then do with my D-Premiers then that would be something to look at, but would expect at least increased power board, new DAC and inclusion of streamer to be a minimum to tempt me to do the upgrade.
At present I'm really happy with my D-Premiers, and not really sure what a pair of D250's would add to the SQ (for the bang for buck).
