    Right, I had that reversed. 50ohm for Esoteric and 75ohm for Aurender. It may not be a huge difference, but my audiophile OCD kicks in when it isn’t precise. Aurender has a new clock coming out as well and it will have 50 and 75ohm...

    Mike replied to a thread Esoteric XD/X filters in Computer/Digital Audio
    I would buy a G1X tomorrow, but the Cybershaft has far more flexibility, meaning, I can clock the K1X (75ohm) and N20 (50ohm) off the same clock. G1X is 75ohm only. The difference to have both devices on the same clock sync at their proper spec is...

    Great question. It really depends on the DAC too. If the non-USB input on the DAC is optimized, then those can really benefit from the exceptional non-USB outputs of the N20. I found AES and SPDIF (digital RCA) to be the best when the DAC is...
