In Reply to: 3 important USB considerations for great USB performance posted by Sordidman on April 16, 2019 at 08:40:52:
The system sits in a Geneva credenza built by Salamander. The DAC and amplifier are at one far end, the computer sits in the farthest bay away from it, and that side also holds a PS Audio P10 AC Regenerator. The Singxer sits behind the cabinet, on the side the DAC is. Power cords are from PI Audio Group. The cabling for the LANRover runs underneath the cabinet, with speaker and interconnects routed behind the cabinet.
The thing is the previous DAC I have owned sounds great in the same arrangement that I now have, as I simply replaced one DAC with the other. Also, if the Singxer is noisy enough to be a detriment, then the on board USB conversion is a travesty, because it sounds no where as good as the stand alone conversion system.
I decided to exercise my return privileges, and this is something that I never do. I figure a DAC of this price, being current production, should not have these issues. Even if its just at my place, however, a search turned up cases of other owners having some of these same issues, and if I would have known this going in I would not have made this purchase. My solution is to scrub the slate clean and return to where I was, and decide if there is indeed a way to obtain meaningful improvement in digital playback, or stand pat as I do enjoy the playback quality I have from my previous DAC.
