Item 2) you mention, does that mean my DAC does the reclocking and I don’t need an external reclocker?
Need to under stand Asynchronous USB
So I just got a Marantz ND 8006 Network CD player. Im using it as a network player and CD transport and I output digital to my NAD M51 DAC. I’m using my IPad to stream TIDAL and that works tip top. However, it’s the USB inputs that concern me. I have a choice of a front connection and a rear USB DAC connection.
Couple questions:
1. The USB DAC input is for a Mac or PC hook up, but is there any other way to use an input like this? Does it have to come from a computer or can a USB hard drive work with an input like this?
2. More importantly the front USB input is NOT asynchronous. I think they make a reclocker I can put in between the USB and the unit. My question is do they make a USB hard drive with a built in reclocker with a good amount of hard drive space?
this is all new to me, so any help would be appreciated.
