My Kdsm/2 and Twin would go in exchange these Akudoriks and 242 would sell separately and get that Akurate exakt hub for that money. Do you think this would be an upgrade to the current setup? I know i lose some money, kdsm/2 and twin are little expensive than used Akudoriks but i'm interest to hear yours opinion?

If you want to go down the Akudorik route, I would suggest keeping your KDSM, selling everything else and buy Exakt Akudoriks.

Why use expensive kdsm/2 only digital out via exakt links?

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration when the akurate system hub does the same thing for a fraction of the price of kdsm/2?
Have you listened to beck’s excellent series of experiments on his CD player?

If you have, you will know just how easily the digital signal* (not data) can be corrupted. Unfortunately, there’s more to getting a great sound than just ensuring the right bits get to the right place at the right time. An Amazon stick thingy for £30-£40 can do that.

* Maybe we should say “........ how easily the analog signal carrying the data can be polluted “

Yes i know that but are you claiming that the akurate system hub (or Akurate Exakt dsm) is bad for digital signal transmission via exakt links? I don't think Linn would make a bad device in that sense, especially at Akurate level.

I’m certainly not saying it’s bad. What I am saying is that the Klimax is much better!
