Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible?

@erik_squires  if you don’t mind me asking, where did you get those test tracks? I just need something to send signal to left and right to ensure settings are aligned between Hermes and Pontus

Thanks @erik_squires. I do have the Ayre system burn in CD but that doesn’t do left and right channel test tones…

Run test tones should say...

Thanks @audphile1 I have searched and haven’t found anything yet. Tried to reach out to Qobuz waiting for reply…

I’m assuming since CD player and Streamer will be connected to Hermes as long as I can get the test tones for either that would work?

NICE! That’s awesome @gkelly! The 1 track in particular for left and right sweep should work…

Thank you again @erik_squires!

You All are the best👍🏻

@rick_n  Thank you! Great info😊

@audphile1 Thanks for following up my friend😊. Hermes just arrived this afternoon. Waiting until tomorrow to introduce to the system. Because any time I need to add anything it is a project due to space constraints in my ent ctr and around it. SOOOO not looking forward to it🤦🏼‍♂️🔫. Just hoping Pontus and Hermes click immediately after the handshake. Though from just watching Alvin from Vinshine’s video in connecting the 2 it seems it’s more about the HDMI/I2S cable. That’s why I went with the DH Labs 2.1 as it actually specifies its I2S compatible…

I will follow up and post here after I’m up (hopefully😩😂) and running…

Thanks so much @mapman! This is great! Seems like I’m safe as kittens getting what I need through Qobuz which is awesome because I really didn’t want to have to connect my laptop to my system..,

One other question for All. Right now I have 3 different components connected to Pontus:

Eversolo Streamer via USB

ELITE CD carousel via Coax

Brennan B2 via Toslink

obviously I just reroute all 3 via same connections from Pontus to Hermes? Then just toggle between the 3 via Hermes?

Thank you @otherworld74, but that would require me to connect to my laptop, no? That’s what I was trying to avoid…

I did verify last night that the Audio Line Up Test Tone on Qobuz works when I ran it through my Bluesound Node in my second system. The “Left and Right Sweep” sent tones to each speaker so this should do the trick though my Eversolo! Very excited for that!

@sns Pontus and Hermes did not come with manuals? Alvin from Vinshine has a video for this connection specifically as not all pin connections are the same and some do not work, therefore it’s necessary to test?

@bobbyloans ​​​​@sns Thank you! I’m really hoping the 000 will work first try and I won’t have to play any further. So good to hear yours worked as well @bobbyloans which I2S cable are you using?

Thanks @bobbyloans , going to tackle it later this afternoon. I will for sure post. Hopefully I get lucky as you did. My cable is DH Labs 2.1. It specifies I2S, so I’m hoping that it’s a quick marriage😬😂

Thank you @fthompson251!

Up and running! It worked first try!!

Totally need help on this!! I took my Toslink connect out of Pontus and connected to Hermes (Brennan B2). I took my Coax out of Pontus and into Hermes. I toggled between the connections on Hermes and neither will play???? Does Hermes not apply with these other 2 connections?? Should they just go direct to Pontus??

Or do I do it on Pontus? Or should Pontus be left totally alone at this point?

@fthompson251 I just unplugged and plugged Hermes back in. So how Faldo I proceed to listen to Elite CD player which is connected via Coax In on Hermes? I’m assuming the Toslink and Coax should be on Digital In on Hermes, not Digital out correct?

I have an Elite CD carousel (Coax) and Brennan B2 (Toslink). Is Hermes just for the 1 component (Streamer using USB)? Totally confused

Thank you for the quick reply! No I don’t think it was live? 
 

will I need to hit the Coax and Optical selections on the Hermes when switching components?

Thank you @fthompson251. I just started another thread about this. I’m in desperation mode😂

Ok, so USB (Streamer)

Coax (CD player)

Toslink (CD rippper)

All 3 direct to Hermes in

Set Pontus to I2S and leave Pontus alone. Then just toggle on Hermes for the 3 different units?

GOT IT!! Cannot thank you enough @fthompson251! If you’re ever in the NH area dinner and drinks on me my friend🥂! All 3 playing like a charm. Now it’s break in time for Hermes!…😊😊😊

Sincerest thanks to All who took the time to respond and help! Life is good again😂😊
