Lumin D2... Could it be a perceivable upgrade in sound quality?

[wklie (Peter Lie)]

For details please refer to:

RAAT and clock ownership

From the RAAT vs AirPlay thread @Brian stated - I’ve got a few questions. But they don’t relate to AirPlay specifically, hence the new thread. Can I get confirmation that the advantages listed above happen when a Roon device is communicating directly (network connected?) with a receiving RoonReady DAC? And if so, does this same advantage apply if there is a non-DAC RoonReady endpoint (ex. a Sonicore SonicOrbiter SE) between Roon and a DAC? In that case - if the endpoint is USB connected to t…
