Hermes added, question

Hi, All,

 

Just a follow up on my thread last week about adding Hermes to my Pontus. All is connected and playing. I did do the left and right speaker check via Qobuz test tones and all are playing properly. I haven't sat for a critical listen yet as I want to give more burn in time. So whilst I'm not quite ready to give my impressions on any improvements, I did have a question.

 

I noticed on some tracks (not all) playing only when listening through my streamer (connected via USB running from Eversolo DMP-A6 Master into ADD-Powr Symphony In, then out from Symphony to Hermes USB In. Using I2S connecting between Pontus and Hermes. What I noticed is that on some tracks while streaming I detected some static/noise through mostly my right front speaker. I didn't notice this using Coax (CD player) or Optical (Brennan B2). Just on the streamer and again only certain tracks...

 

Any idea what could be causing this? Is the ADD-Powr possibly the culprit? The static/noise was never there before Hermes and I had ADD-Powr Symphony connected as above only direct to Pontus...Music still plays but on higher volume the noise is audible...

Yes on Hermes did you go into setup and then the 2 nd button from the end I believe optical hit the buttons until all 3 led go out then hit setup button again 

listen at low volume if thst doesnot work try with1st Odeon the other 2 LEDs out

I2S I pin out is not a standard  what brand cable 

95% are hdmi cables with 75% video cables in it ,Tubulus Audio the only true 

dedicated Solid core Silver Closest to air dielectric I2S cable are their digital cables are very good from the Argentus on up.
