No - but if there were, how would it work.


How would it get from the streamers datacenter to your house without going through dozens of bits of kit that are not audiophile?
I guess it is possible from datacenter to home. Maybe you need an audiophile town with its own datacenter and all internet and power in the street and houses audiophile graded. The point I am trying to make it how crazy these audiophile switches are if you use streaming service.

It will take an awful lot of cable lifters. :)

It's true that the price is too low for this to gain any traction with the serious audiophile crowd - it won't be talked much in Whatsbest that's for sure.
But you can always add the external Gustard C18 clock for 1,599 credits (matching Gustard BNC cable sold separately for 179 credits)

An even cheaper solution apparently: a "network filter", 285 euros :oops:

(seeing this in the Beekhuyzen video released today)(didn't want to link it)

There is no explanation about what it does (and the "exploded view" doesn't show any components unfortunately).

In DA conversion, picoseconds are critical (?!)

I don't understand the bit about the quality requirements on buffering.

Hey now, that's a very good price for placebo, there could've been a zero at the end :thumbsup::thumbsup:
