Kevin,
Thanks. I did figure most of this out looking at the other things on the website later incuding the things you list here. It also appears that the Pro ISL format and module will work as input for my Premier Dac. Is this correct or do I have to move up to Cascade to have this capability?

The Premier DAC can accept Pro ISL inputs if you have a Pro ISL Input module. You can see here:
It may be worth calling to discuss your system setup with Vince, he is great at helping optimizing a system.
Daniel,
Thanks for the response. I’ll be in touch by phone when I have some photos and serial numbers for my Premier Dac and we can talk about what is best to do moving forward in terms of upgrades and will contact Vince then about what I am thinking about.

@ozon8r I wish to find out please if the Network Acoustics Muon Pro made any appreciable sound difference with your Renderer on your Reference DAC. I’m asking because I have a Renderer with my Discrete DAC, and am wondering if the Muon is worth the candle, as I consider whether to get it. Thanks.
I would say it isn’t critical if you have digital Director that helps isolate any noise galvanically passed by the Ethernet into the Digital Director. Absent a digital director, I would highly recommend the Muon Pro. The risk with Ethernet cabling is EMI and RF carried by the copper wires into the component where the DAC resides. With the fiber umbilical cable from the Digital Director to the DAC, you are essentially mitigating if not completely eliminating the EMI/RF risk.
