In Reply to: ARC DAC7 uses Asynchronous mode? posted by phunge on April 16, 2009 at 06:03:58:
...and he is not a design engineer. So it is possible that he got some of the details wrong. The review of the DAC in Hi-Fi News (UK) said that the ARC DAC uses a TI USB-to-S/PDIF part. Then they feed the output of this through the S/PDIF receiver chip that has a low-pass filter on the PLL to remove a lot of the jitter. This is a nice improvement, but according to what they published is not true asynchronous mode.
