SureI am using my CCA for the living room just because of ease of connection, it is great at that. But I don't try to push 96kHz SR trough it's optical out, just FLAC's from CD.
Maybe a jitter reducer would help, but then, I am using a $35 ($25 on sale) device, I fell no need to complicate things too much like adding a $155 iFi SPDIF iPurifier to the loop.
Or maybe I will
Well you will never know if you don't try.
The never ending question of upgrading, and improving.
I only saw one or maybe 2 negative reviews of the SPDIF Purifier... that's why I figured it was worth a try you have a 60 day return window.
The negative reviews I saw didn't make much sense, in the way they were written... so I didn't put a lot of weight into them.
IMHO it's like almost like saying whether you'd like your ears partially filled with cotton or not... if your system is capable you will definitely hear information and layers in your music you didn't hear before.
Yep...it's a great product and does what the positive reviews say, no doubt about it.
That's why IMHO it's a bargain at the retail price... given the improvements you realize.
And it also seems to, so far anyway, elliminate one of the major drawbacks of a external DAC. The possibility of data loss, and all sorts of connecting cable considerations.
From the reviews I read when using the purifier the connecting cabling really doesn't matter much, if at all.
Same seems to go for the USB purifier 2 as well.
