And it was worth the wait.
The Prophecy Cryo Silver Reference i2s Digital link cable turns out to be an improvement to the Acoustic zen MC2 AES/EBU cable.And you can be sure the Zen Im using from the transport to Dragon will be replaced too, with thier
Reference AES/EBU cable.
And thier Reference RCA ICs are a new furture contender to try and dethrone my revelation ICs.(Ive tried 6 others including MITs and nothing beats them, although the MITs were close.Just to laid back IMO.)

My gear has come a long way since I joined CP.:D

    So if your running I2S that should effective bypass the CS8412 input reciever in the DAC and it's less than stellar jitter rejection.

    I guess it would.It also bypasses the dejitter section of the dragon so there is less to go through there as well.No need for a dejitter device with i2s.
    Im getting better clarity,and resolution.......Good clean sound.
    Now all I need is a good DC power supply to power the DAC for the best possible SQ.

    Do you have a schematic?It 's likely the stock supply could be modded to squeeze more performance out of it.

    It can't be any worse than this surface mount board I had the pleasure of modding.:)
