More goodness; most likely due to the power supply. But at over 4 grand, I won't be going there.

Super Dave O. Wouldn’t you want a dedicated clock with the SOtM switch versus coming off the main system? Thought is a setup would look like this: Clock > Switch > Gigafoil > Component Versus the clock at the component having to back track to the switch? |

Any SoTM users here?
Good question. I think this depicts that route better. (Sorry to attempt to be Tommy technical)
Clock ———— I I Gigafoil - Switch - Streamer/DAC OR Clock ———————— I I Switch - Gigafoil - Streamer/DAC I don’t think a clock is in the signal transmission line in this case.

Side note:
SOtM translates to “Soul of the Music”. |

I got the SOtM hooked up last night. My G-01 clocks the SOtM with one of the 2 10mhz outputs and is powered by an Uptone Audio Ultracaps 1.2 LPS. My goal is to bring streaming audio as close as possible to spinning cds. Last night was the closest I've come. The SOtM presents music with better flow and more dynamics. Streaming always seemed a little flat compared to the cd player but now sounds more effortless and natural.

I'm using Roon Rock to store the music and the SMS200 is feeding into a PS Audio DSD. I previously had a mac mini with a LPSU. I can't say how much of a jump it was as there was a lot of changes to my system but there is nothing lacking for sure. For the price this could be the best solution out there. |

PS: I agree that their naming convention is very confusing and I wasted a lot of time making sure I was getting the right hardware.
