[QUOTE="blizzard, post: 759968, member: 17567"] In theory yes in real life no. I experienced the same varying quality with different devices. As a good example, I built a media server with a high end Intel board with digital coax out on it.I then noticed that other equipment sounded better into my dac (cd player ,blue ray player etc.) After some playing around I came to the conclusion that the digital coax on the PC was not on the same level. This playing Flac and Wav through my media pc. I then bought an Asus Xonar STX soundcard and output the coax from there. WHAM sorted. It now sounds the best of the lot. So my conclusion is the superior clock on the soundcard is syncing better with my DAC clock. My :2c: worth [/QUOTE]
