Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC

A couple updates for all you kind gentlemen regarding my quest for better SQ from my digital. I’m now using shielded cables from the DAC and PWT into my Brickwall (which uses ferrite filtering), plus some PS Audio Noise Harvesters and the results are positive.
With the HDMI (Cardas cable), sound is closer to "analogue." With SPDIF (Oyaide coax), the music explodes thru my speakers with increased dynamics, detail, and a huge soundstage, not to mention a lower noise floor. But, the sonics are still clearly from a digital source.

I still believe my DAC lacks a high quality clock, so before I upgrade the DAC, I might give the Uptone SPDIF ISO Regen a try.

@dlcockrum , I saw your negative review of the ISO Regen as used in your system. It could be that the clock in your Exogal Comet is so good, you don’t need an external timing device. Also using a Purist Audio USB from the Aurender may already have excellent synergy.

As a side note, if anybody knows about the PSA Noise Harvester, the LED's are constantly flashing indicating that they are detecting and filtering noise entering the power conditioner.

Hi lowrider, 

I just wrote about my impressions in my system and to my ears. That was how it fell. 

As you say, I suspect that a big part of my results were due to the excellent noise/isolation/jitter characteristics of thr Aurender/Exogal combo and the cables I use and intended to convey that in latter part of the writing.

Sorry if it did not read that way. There are many positive impressions of the Uptone products held by others in their systems and to their ears and I hope to hear from them as rebuttal posts to that thread.

I expect that the Uptone gear is as good as any out there for applications that benefit from their effect.

Dave, I believe the clocking performed by the FGPA in the Exogal makes a reclocker unnecessary. But, everyone of us would have still tried for that extra bit of perfection.
I'll bet the Purist cable also is excellent. I have all Purist analogue cables and they are an integral part of my modest system.

That was the posit from Jeff Haagenstad of Exogal when I solicited his opinion before trying the ISO Regen and I expect you are both right, lowrider.

I gave it an honest shot which is, it seems, more than many often do before judging here in writing.

The Purist 30th USB cable has ferrite filters around the 5v power lead (but not the signal conductors) and that, along with the Comet's prowess in that area, may have contributed to the lack of improvement from the ISO Regen’s galvanic isolation.

The takeaway for me was that I never expected that the sound quality would lessen, only perhaps that it would not change audibly. But it did in my system to my ears and I felt that to be noteworthy.

Open question; is it worth experimenting with a Toslink cable from my transport to DAC (in case there is a grounding issue)?

I'm not dealing with computer audio at this time since I need to have my Mac serviced.
