dreamwhisper Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 So the Assemblage D2D-1 has a proprietary cable that feeds the Sonic Frontiers SFD-2 mk3. Does anyone know if it is also compatible with the Sonic Frontiers Processor 3? The Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 also has a proprietary cable that works with the first one, anyone know if it works with the second as well? Quote
feckn_eejit Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 So the Assemblage D2D-1 has a proprietary cable that feeds the Sonic Frontiers SFD-2 mk3.It's actually a 13W3 monitor cable, used in high-end computer workstations, predominantly in the '90s. Particularly common in Sun workstations. Does anyone know if it is also compatible with the Sonic Frontiers Processor 3?Yes, however the P3 tops out at 48KHz, and the D2D-1 will output at 96KHz if you want. Of course, it does have a 48KHz mode for the P3. The Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 also has a proprietary cable that works with the first one, anyone know if it works with the second as well?My SFT-1 does not have a 13W3 "I2S-e" output. At the time you could send your SFT-1 into the factory to have the output added, cost was around $800 if I recall correctly. All Sonic Frontiers "Transport 3" transports do have the output. The D2D-1 is pretty neat. I actually really like what it does with all of my DACs. Plenty of debate on whether or not what it does is a Good Thing, but with the SFD-2 Mk.III especially, it seems to add a noticeable amount of depth and palpable-ness to the presentation. Compared to using it in transparent jitter-reduction-only mode, in 24/96 upsampling mode, it seems that each instrument is more clearly defined in its own space and allowed to pop out of a super black background...........

Icarium Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Yeah really I should probably be using it for my dac3 since it doesnt have a secondary PLL like the dac3.1 hrmm yeah. Quote
feckn_eejit Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 edit: i'm an idiot as i recall, you are going toslink in from your RME card?? D2D-1 would definitely help.......... otoh I think if you hacked a nice BNC output on and used a reasonably lengthy BNC->BNC cable you'd be fine without! Quote
