I will ask Lukasz and local dealer, maybe it is possible. is it xmos much better than amanero?

also which usb cables would you recommend with such a dac?

There are experiences from the Taiko thread that the new Lampi XMOS is better than the old Amanero.
So I would first go for the XMOS board before other changes.

ok, thank you. I also consider something like antipodes S30 or s20 between SK and GG2. what do you think - it can improve usb signal?

Maybe a better solution would be to go for one UHQ server and connect via the XMOS USB to the GG2, so I would compare the SK to other one-box servers like Antipodes K50 or Taiko Extreme if funds allow.

I can't afford K50 definitely - but I probably can make superkomputer < S20/S60 < GG2 setup... if it would be much better than just SK < GG2

In post # 25 I was wondering if by doing my DAC double reclocks of the incoming USB signal, it wouldn't be the Innuos Phoenix redundant and would make little or no improvement. Now I know the answer, the Phoenix is a magnificent device that clearly improves the sound of my system.
