Hermes added, update


Hi, All,

 

First off, once again I can’t thank every one of you enough for all you time, support, replies. Sincerely.

 

This morning I removed my Synergistic Foundation USB cable from Eversolo streamer and ADD-POWR Symphony. I then pulled DH Labs Mirage USB from Symphony and went direct into Eversolo (yes I was using 2 different USB cables within the same link). Fired up and put my ear to tweet and heard nothing but sweet sounding music. Whilst I did not have time to crank it up and replay the songs I noticed the static, I am letting the system play for the morning/afternoon and will sit down when I get home to see if static issue is gone and then do a critical listen to hear the difference adding Hermes made...By the time I get home I will have had about ~25+ hrs of break in on Hermes. Figure that is enough break in time to be able to evaluate. As I know it will only get better, hopefully...Fingers crossedwink

Thank you @fthompson251. Thanks for always being there my friend😌…

 

Indeed those are next steps if I hear the static. Hopefully all a moot point but I’ll know for sure later today. Figured I’d start with the DH Lab cable as I’d prefer that over the Synergistic. But if that’s the issue I’m right back in business as I have backup in hand, no down time so safe as kittens there. I also have the ADD—POWR Symphony on high so I can always turn that down and see if that does the trick if I still hear the entity….Silver lining in all of this could be I get to sell my Synergistic USB and get some pocket money😬. 

 

Absolute resort and if all else fails, is reaching out to Father Karras to Exorcise this thing! 😂

Try the other USB cable. You don't experience this on any other input on the Hermes right? If that works its the DH Labs cable. 

 

Next bypass the USB to the Hermes and go direct to your DAC. If it disappears it's the Hermes. If not then it's the cable or the Eversolo.
