glens Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 It's a differential pair. Voltage one direction across them for a 0 and the other direction across them for a 1, all or none. Nothing analog about it. The transport specific timing is pretty much immaterial, too, assuming a reasonable buffer is employed (which should be the case). The signal transfers in spurts. The signal traveling through the USB transport is neither in continuously-variable voltage levels nor is it "real time." Both of which qualities I would categorize as being defining traits of an analog signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what you are talking about, I never said anything was escaping. I said if you take the digital out from dac and connect to a headphone you will hear the music which you will.

I doubt anyone would hear anything at 96 kHz. If anything could be heard it wouldn't be musical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmalloy Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Well isn't that just great. Lately I've been giving my Heresy IIIs scornful looks and shaking my head, while snapping the newspaper in my easy chair. Asking them - why couldn't you be like your younger brother? Is it so hard to put out a little more bass and increase your soundstage just a little, when daddy works so hard to put music on the table? Is that too much to ask? I warned them - one more slip up, and they're out of here. Edited April 26, 2020 by fmalloy 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"digital out from a dac" means what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
