Response written on phone and I read "DAC"... I didn't look it up or investigate beyond that.

My main point is that if a user is happy with their existing DAC, then it would be best to feed that with the best quality Digital feed.

And for the many, many reasons already discussed here at length, the C15's Digital out is compromised by the Jitter caused by the PC-based internals of the C15.

So as a list of things to consider, I would suggest:

1) Use an MS200 in front of the DACx2 to eliminate the Jitter from the C15 output.

2) Try to have the C15 and MS200 on the same switch... with no other PC components on that switch.

3) Use SSTP cabling from the Switch to the MS200 and C15, which helps to eliminate the propagation of any RFI along the cables.

4) Only after the above steps have been taken should the Galvanic Isolation offered by the GISO be considered IMHO.

And of course, if you want to even further improve the Digital Stream going to the DACx2, then the MS600 will offer an incrementally better digital stream than the MS200.... with the 818v2 (or perhaps 861v8) offering the currently best available Digital out.
