What to buy? JCAT XE or pink faun USB Card?
#1
I have my SOtM tX-USBexp since 5,5 years. It'sconnected to a JCAT USB Isolator and via two AQ Carbon cables to my D220 Pro. The SotM uses an ifi iPower 9V PSU.
SQ is very good but not as good as AIR (You hear the difference, it's not very huge but audible.) But AIR is not 100% stable so I use more USB than AIR.

There are now to interesting products on the market:

pink faun USB bridge with OCXO clock, they also offer an Ultra OCXO clock:

JCAT USB XE also using an OCXO clock

Any experiences, recommendations?

Thank you very much!
