This is a good price - if - you plan to use the internal amplifier. If not, I still think something like the ICON or a miniDSP SHD with Dirac for example, would be better and cheaper options. There is a humming with ‘some’ amplifiers using XLR. It depends on how the amp is grounded. My M66 with...

It supports CEC, it is in the manual. I have an M66, and the manual says exactly the same - However do note that there are no settings to configure within BluOS related to CEC. So I believe CEC is simply always enabled for the NAD devices. Sure, if you like the speakers, Gold series from MA...

Ah ok, thank you. So the presence of ultrasonics (well, in this case introduced due to the filter) - is what then creates IMD at the speaker. The presence of ultrasonics is not itself IMD. I think I have understood that correctly? Cheers

I suspect this increased phase accuracy in the audible spectrum, is more audible than the apparent side effect of ultrasonic IMD - which is in the out of band spectrum and some -80dB down. In reality it's probably tit for tat and neither are particularly audible, but these are interesting tests...

Indeed I may have inadvertently latched on to jitter as being the metric to focus on here, whereas yes sideband noise is perhaps the correct metric I should have been harping on about - that may have confused a few no doubt and I can only apologies, but not being an engineer I was always trying...

That was the whole reason to suggest the Modi (the old Modi 2 specifically), because it has been used to show even over USB, variances dependant on the incoming USB signal: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/ifi-ipurifier3-usb-filter-review.41389/ It's an anomaly in the...

Well if the Modi test only required a small amount of additional time, it would in my view have been a warranted inclusion as then neither time nor money are a factor. If the test required 100k of additional gear however, then absolutely no it would not be warranted - no singular component would...

Oh those guys, the ones who did those carbon discs! They are stop the world I want to get off levels of crazy! I mean it could be even argued to an extent as to why this product was tested, given the notion of USB transfer being async, it was always a foregone conclusion this product would do...

There's no need to be facetious. And you can stop trying to straw man with the phrase quantum tunnelling! Look jitter has an effect on digital audio, and jitter is something this device purports to solve - but it was not tested as to if it can do what it says because it was assumed up front...

Best straw man ever! Yes and as we're talking digital audio, the Modi test would have told us if it at least did do the job of removing jitter, would it not? Innuos designers are suggesting it can re-generate and remove jitter - hence being a replacement for needing a master clock in their...

It's designed to be a "regenerating device" to use their lingo, noting it has a OCXO clock and again to use their lingo, it is designed to provide the function of three components, one of which being "an external master clock". So is one of the functions of this device not that of an implied...

But would it have though? All myself and a few others are suggesting is it would have been good to see it tested with the Modi, so we don't have to "give it credit" and assume it does work - which is the antithesis of a site like this surely. It boils down to why does a snake oil product like...

Wouldn't the old Schiit Modi have served that purpose just fine? Show the Modi receiving a poor signal (which I believe has been done before hence it has been bought up a couple of times), and then again with the Innuos inline - that would show very concisely if it is correcting the USB signal...

Not tyring to cherry pick the quotes in a negative way, only to say yes these are all very valid and welcomed to see proved. - But, this really should have been as a second phase to testing, showing that the product is irrelevant. The first round of testing would surely be to first understand...

Also, the Cambridge Audio Edge W (the power amp) - appears to have been measured here: https://audioxpress.com/files/attachment/2712 If that could be added please :) The integrated scored a very respectable 95dB SINAD with Stereophile, so wondering how the SINAD of the W fares against it...

I know there has been talk of the M66 and BluOS processing delay for use with AVR’s/HT Bypass, so just adding my experiance to this now: N.B: I wanted to take advantage of DLBC, so analogue direct was not something I considered and have therefore not tried. Changes made: 1) Changed the config...

Yes certainly appears to be and I’ve learnt a little (only a little mind!) about why. The M66 (like the ICON) has a floating ground, as is suspected of my amp. As both have a floating grounds there’s no stable common reference, thus each has varying ground potentials - and the problem exists...

Would that be a continuity check? I only have a crappy multi meter, one that doesn't do the beep test for continuity - if you can tell me precisely what to do and the modes to use on the multi meter I can try, but otherwise sorry I'm just not confident enough to be poking probes into a my very...

Thank you, yes exactly the same noise is coming from my speakers when using the M66 and the 8300XP. I'm just working my way through the thread and the Bluesound pages - though I've seen it stated on the ICON (and therefore I assume the M66) that it uses a floating ground, as my amp is also...

Is floating ground not a good thing/not used anymore? My electrical engineering knowledge is not great, at all!! :)
