reclocker should be a dead cert for another lift, if i remember right the 768's pinout will allow for short wire to a 574 chip it could be a pretty neat solution and could be powered from the same ps as the clean side of the isolator
Wired in the reclocker Nige and I am amazed at the significant improvement, could hear it from the first track.
Pretty surprised how good the improvement was given my previous experience trying to get more out of Amanero but this is definitely a keeper.
I built it so it could be hot swapped during playback but the moment i turned it on with a Lipo powering the chip I have been listening to music since not wanting to go pulling it out and do further testing.
The female connector is epoxied to the Chip and this connects to the USB board, so I have a fairly short run from the mclk out to the reclocker in.
Been thinking this evening that after 3 days at Munich HiFi Show this year my system is now competing with the most resolving systems, with soundstage localisation and dynamics from the best systems I heard there at Mega money.
Where it actually beats all the systems I heard is that it engages me more in the music now than any of the systems I heard, maybe the left brain is more engaged at shows but at the moment the music really drags me in when listening this past few days with all the recent improvements.
The Big7 is now in a totally different league from where it has been for the past 2 years.
