But a user tried the iFi SPDIF iPurifier2 (a better power supply than the default is recommended, or going battery pack to enable a complete isolation between master & slave) a found an even better sound quality. Which is reasonable as the iPurifier2 has several signal cleaning and reclocking features.
Has anyone also already tried this?
I wouldn't be surprised if someone would hear a difference, but since the only re-clocking you would make is to the Slave and then the Master staying as is, I can't see how that technically would be an advantage.
Can you ask the user whether the centre stage has moved a bit? I can only imagine that the timing would be out a bit, which moves the perceived left / right balance.
