Then there's no problem 🙂 and we are back in 2010 (just kidding)

I think these components are called transistors and capacitors. They don't understand 1 or 0. They work with a voltage. From a certain level it will open and close when the glass is empty. So it's an analog process which we call digital

But doesn´t it makes sense to you also that:

Regardless how the digital data arrives to the DAC it will be nullified in the DAC´s buffer. Here it will buffer the incoming stream and re-build/re-clock the signal again and send it to the analogue conversion step.

So basically it will not matter what the bits looks like since it will be nullified in the buffer and re-recreated in the DAC anyway.

The impossible task is to stop noise hitting that DAC clock though... No-one has ever been able to send a totally clean signal since it is of-course impossible since there is electronics involved.

Well that doesn't work correct than. This is tried with the Perfect Wave Dac 2. They called it the memory player. But still when you disconnect the ethernet after the data was loaded. The buffer sounded just as bad as with the connected ethernet. So there's something not right.

But playing things from memory equals noise, processing noise, inside the DAC it self. You don´t want any processing going on unless you are able to separate that noise before the DAC step. This is what the Grimm Audio guys understand and are able to do. Even if they do up sampling inside their MU2 player they are still able to make sure that the signal is extremely clean when converted to analogue, which is very hard and costly.

Thanks I will do some more homework! 🙂
