| Matching Aurender with P.S.Audio I was running N200 with PS Audio DSD MkI via USB No issues, sounded great. | |
| Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far @theo that is a good plan and is how I usually go about comparing changes. please keep me posted | |
| Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far @theo definitely worth a try. Give yourself some time to adjust to new sound after you make the change. You might get more volume range on the ARC preamp as well | |
| Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far I had Benchmark DAC 3 set at -10db when I had it (HGC version). It sounded best that way. The 0db setting produced results similar to TT2 in DAC mode although not quiet as bad. I don’t mean any disrespect but recommendations from Benchmark are not... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @helomech These days there exist $200 “Chi-Fi” DACs that objectively outperform the DAC3. says who? And what specific DACs are you referring to? Sounds like ASR propaganda… | |
| Chord Hugo TT2 - My experience so far @theo you would typically see a 4v output from XLRs. I’ve switched the DAC to AMP mode, set it Low Gain and attenuated the volume to minus 10 which sounds best with the Boulder integrated. With Coda I like the volume at minus 7 on the TT2. Unfortu... | |
| External Power Supply For My Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport @kijanki good points. I have Chord Hugo TT2 that uses SMPS and sounds fine. It’s all in the quality of the SMPS and implementation. However, I do prefer a good quality and properly implemented linear power supply as in my experience the transients... | |
| Check This Out! thanks @lalitk If Mad Max had a stereo system, this would be his DAC. But..I’m not Max and I’m not mad. I’ll pass. | |
| External Power Supply For My Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport interesting. Ok. Considering the 6000CDT already has linear power supply and Teddy Pardo are mostly for units that utilize SMPS, not sure how that’s going to work. It would probably have to be an upgrade to the caps and transformer inside the 6000... | |
| External Power Supply For My Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport 6000CDT has linear power supply. See picture below. What external power supply would you use and how would you implement it? | |
| Have you had streaming music clip out with chord Dave? Is there a network switch in the chain? Or a copper to fiber optic Ethernet converter? | |
| Have you had streaming music clip out with chord Dave? And turn Leedh volume off in Lumin. | |
| Have you had streaming music clip out with chord Dave? Make sure settings in Lumin are correct. Start there. Then take the mscaler out. Go from Lumin direct to DAVE via USB. Eliminate one potential culprit at a time. | |
| Have you had streaming music clip out with chord Dave? There’s no possible way you can connect the Mscaler to DAVE via XLR. The connection should be made using two BNC cables. So how are you connecting these two components together - Mscaler to DAVE. Next, check Lumin settings and turn off resampling... | |
| Have you had streaming music clip out with chord Dave? 1. Are you using proper digital cables between mscaler and DAVE? These are supposed to be 75ohm Digital BNC. Not regular RCA interconnects with BNC adapters. 2. Do you have upsampling enabled in the streamer? If so, disable that option. 3. what in... |
