Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic

I think this topic deserves its own thread , where use double ic through y adapters , from source to preamp, Can’t connect it from Preamp to Amp...For me the result is huge, I can’t go back to single ic....

Has anyone tried this method with S/PDIF(RCA) or AES/EBU? Or have any observations on the practicality? I have a CD transport I still use. If this has been covered earlier in the thread, I apologize for not looking for it.

In posts on comparisons, it would be nice to know which configuration is being used.

But I do not have any hideously expensive conventional XLR ICs or AES/EBU cables to compare them to.

Thank you for pioneering this with the HAVE Star Quad so there is an apples to apples comparison for RCA. As I mentioned, I have some HAVE co-joined, shielded XLR ICs and AES/EBU cable(s) coming. Have successfully used shielded and unshielded XLRs. Prefer shielded AES/EBU.

Mind if I ask what components in your system you will be trying it on? No class D amplification, right? " Doug - The above is is an excerpt from your 10/24 post to stringreen. I have a Class D amp. What are the issues when using a "double?"

" Subsequently, you asked: 2-3-19 9:07 PM "Taras22, have you or Ken tried any of your double double IC assemblies with a class D amp?" douglas_schroder then responded: 2-3-19 9:30 PM "Yes, the Red Dragon is class D; I reviewed it for Dagogo.com and it sounds like they tried the Double Double with it." taras22 did not respond to your question above; doug schroder did, saying that it ' sounds like ' they tried the double double. I did not read this as taras22 saying that he tried the double double with the Red Dragon without issue.
