Guillaume's hi-fi system

Which of the box s makes the biggest difference ? Or is it a case of all or nothing?
I’m not even sure I understand what you did there. Why 2 boxes of switches ? And why you decided to use 2 deferent clocks ( sCLK-EX clock module and 10 MHz master clock PLUS Cybershaft OP14 master clock )

Did you try to feed the d1 with it at all ?

The SOtM switch comes in a number of guises in typical SOtM fashion 

So the switches I have are the ones with the sCLK-EX clock module built-in. It's a different colour too - black as opposed to silver for the standard switch. That's how you can tell if it has the sCLK-EX clock module.

The Cybershaft is a 10 MHz master clock and the SOtM switches have 50ohm master clock inputs (you need to specify the sCLK-EX clock module to get this).

I wouldn't say that its a case of all or nothing, just using a single SOtM sNH-10G makes a nice difference (it's quite a bit better than my AQVOX switch). The bridged setup (with optical link) is another jump in performance and the master clock takes things to a whole new level.

Yes I tried this and a number of other combinations with the d1 server/d1-seven (feeding the Absolare). 

When I have a bit of time I will write up my experiences with the different switches including the Telegartner M12 Gold, which was equally impressive as a single box solution.

Cheers,

Hi Guillaume,

Thanks for sharing. I am not quite understand now switch can help, isn’t Devialet has a built in buffer that should store data locally and it’s internal clock is re-clocking it anyway?

Do you have any idea?

Thanks

Honestly? I haven't a clue.

In a previous life I organised very high level events and seminars for telecoms and used to spend a lot of time talking to people in the industry. So I knew a bit about packet based communications, IP etc. 

I can tell you that this stuff makes little sense.
