Since my earlier post about DAVE/M Scaler (which added resolution to the DAVE), I have added Sean Jacobs’ DC4/ARC6 LPSU which takes the DAVE/HMS to an entirely different level. “Transformational” is the word I use to describe the improvement. Rich. Deep. Solid. The opposite of thin. Even more transparent with respect to detail and inner voices. Of courses, replacing DAVE’s stock internal $50 SMPS with a $10K external LPSU, the change had better be remarkable.
I look forward to AXPONA in a few weeks to compare my sound with some others.
DAVE w/ or w/out M Scaler?
DAVE alone or DAVE + M Scaler?
May I have the opinions of those with either configuration?
i currently run DAVE alone. Cheers and stay well

@shkong78 Do you use a Farad on the M Scaler or just the DAVE? I’m interested in how FARAD or SJ would affect M Scaler. I had a Teddy Pardo on my HMS but heard very little affect and am now back to the HMS’ SMPS. |
@cio52 I’ve watched that video. My DAVE/M SCALER are connected through the OPTO/SX which has an BNC/optical interface between DAVE and M SCALER. Do you think this is the type of optical connection he was referring to? |
