"re-clocking" the Ultra digital out ?

[merifon]

This paper from Audio Precision is about jitter measuring techniques but has a chapter well describing what is jitter. To resume: jitter affects any change of domain and there are three kind of it: AD, interface and DA.
AD stage is matter of studio recording equipments and no control by the end user, the interface jitter it's the easiest recoverable and DA jitter depends from the dac clock quality.
It doesn't tell if it is easily earable, that remains personal and biases matter but I can say that cheap equipment has a easily earable jitter effect, exemple: if I send a 1KHz tone through a cheap guitar transmitter, I can see sidebars on its spectrum and easily ear them and this lead to a general more confused sound on clean tones of the guitar vs the cable.
I think could be interesting...

Actually no. The razor blades I was referring to go into the razor.
But thanks

Lots of people don’t realize the greatness of Wiim products . They don’t do sample rate conversion .
This is a great advantage for soundquality, making it sound meatier, more natural and less digital than the average audiophile streamer transport doing SRC.

This soundquality advantage for the WiiM products is often mistaken for ” less details ” and ” a darker sound ” .

In reality , a streamer that don’t do SRC always sounds better. This is much more important for sound quality than chasing the last ps of low jitter .

WiiM has started a revolution were a streamer transport that do roomcorrection and bass management only cost 350 dollars.

Because of this - they will have all highend industry retailers against them because it’s a real threat against their business . In highend, more expensive is always ”better” .
Better for business.

So don’t be fooled by disinformation.

if the external dac has reclocking ( almost all modern dacs have it )

Actually they are rare.
