Shunyata SIGMA: should I use COAX or AES/EBU
Quote:
I will be interested to try Shunyata SIGMA, but... should I use COAX or AES/EBU ? with my Aurender W20 ? Can you tell us why did you choosed Coax ? did you compared AES and Coax out of the Aurender ? thanks PS: I am not too fan of this strange looking glass part. I hope it is really usefull and not just for marketing purposes to impress the customer ! PS2: during my initial tests, I had the impression that I could play DSD Ok with USB but not with the Coax connection !* is it normal or did I configured something wrong ?* Will AES have the same limitation for DSD than Coax ?

Sorry to dissappoint but a long time in with these cables and unless Caelin figures out a way to make them better, I go deaf or pass on, these are staying :-) !!!

I own a N10, not a W20, and my DACs are different. However, I can tell you my N10 is able to output DSD via USB and coax. Until then I thought DSD required USB but it can pass via coax too. AFAIK, there is no setting needed in the N10 conductor app in order to utilize coax for dsd. I believe it is dependent on the DAC whether or not it can process the DSD signal via coax. My Meridian 808v6 accepts DSD via coax and USB whereas my McIntosh D1100 seems to only accept DSD signal via USB. Regarding file size, I only have a handful of dsd files, mostly if not all DSD64. I can’t remember if I tried any 128 and I know I don’t have any 256.
