When should we expect a GSP DAC?

Johan, S/PDIF receivers such as the venerable Wolfson WM8804 also recover the clock from the source but have their own phase locked loop (PLL) controlled by a stable crystal clock to sync them with. The WM8804 is often used just to clean up jitter for other receivers.

Likewise an adaptive mode or non-asynchronous USB receiver recovers the clock from the source and has its own stable crystal generated clock. The jitter is just as good.

To class all receivers as bad because they don't follow the pattern-part brigade (virtually all other manufacturers) is a total lie, but they are big and can get away with lies - often telling their customers everybody else is lying other than themselves - blatantly in their publicity.

This breeds fear in the customer which is what they want to achieve. I should know, they've been trying to drag me down like that for 12 years now - sometimes using their magazine friends, but as the archers of old used to hold their two fingers up and proudly shout to the enemy "I've still got my bowing fingers" so shall I.

When you consider the sort of user reviews you see on here there would have to be a special 6* category just for us...

However, we were often given 5* just like products which don't perform to our standards, and therefore the buyer isn't given honest information IMO.

Yes, I am disillusioned by them all, and if an editor would like to talk to me direct and reassure me otherwise, then I'd willingly send them all we have. But, more often than not we're invited "to make up numbers" at short notice, so you know it's a private promotion for matey boy friend.
