Hi all
I am looking to try out the DACMagic/Airport Express solution (until I am able to buy a pricier DAC, it will have to do), and I had a question. How does the DACMagic handle the locking issue, as this review at Stereophile mentions?
http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/505apple/
"One operational glitch that didn't affect my system to any significant extent but did do so for some readers was the fact that, as the AE doesn't have a local clock circuit, when the incoming data is interrupted, as it is when you change songs in iTunes, there is no longer a digital output to feed the DAC, which loses lock as a result. Both the Levinson and the Benchmark DACs that I use deal gracefully with the lost lock and are quick to unmute when the new song is sent to the AE. I therefore missed the fact that with some other DACs, the first seconds of a song might be cut off."
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
