| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST DAC @sls883 appreciate the comment - I can't find a way to "like" on this forum | |
| UPGRADE PATH FROM CHORD QUTEST DAC I know you said "serviced in the US" - but you could always try a Gustard from Amazon just to get a comparison unit. This would enable you to have at least 2 DACs in your possession at one time. I have an X26 Pro (which I consider a great value)... | |
| Battle of the Older DAC I don't know what country you're in, but here in the good old USA Amazon has a practically effortless return policy and you can easily audition DACs from Gustard, Denafrips and Topping, among others. Can help to sharpen your listening skills to h... | |
| Which External Linear PSU Upgrade for my Router? @tsampa - I want to hear more about using a car battery for the power supply. what cables did you use? where did you put it? is it possible to post photos on this forum? | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru - thanks for your take on this. I'm guessing "HF" is a forum. What forum is that? | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? Anyone have experience with the Afterdark clock? I am using one with my Gustard X26 Pro and it made a nice improvement. Also I think I read on this forum that if you use an external clock connected to a DDC and connect the DDC to the DAC I2S inp... | |
| Gustard R26 - good but not the one Is it possible that the Gustard DACs are at their best when using the I2S input? | |
| Gustard C16 clock Maybe I'm missing something here -- your streamer/renderer connects to the DDC via USB, the clock output connects to the BNC input of the DDC. Then the DDC connects to the DAC via an HDMI cable. Then your DAC outputs to your preamp via RCA or ba... | |
| Repeater/extenders are evil! Hey curiousjim: my placebo brain tells me that Powerline adapters make the power dirty in your house - I have used these for various applications in my house but always unplug them for serious listening - I ended up running a 60 foot Cat6 cable b... | |
| Would I benefit with Roon? Roon appeals to many because of its cataloging/discovery/multi-room features which are awesome. I'm not arguing with anyone on this. However, I have a somewhat revealing system and after a pretty thorough audition (using an older Windows PC fo... | |
| Gustard R26 finally excels via I2S input! My setup is more modest than many here, but my Gustard x26 pro sounds better in the I2S input using a VERY inexpensive Douk Audio DDC with a good LPS and an inexpensive HDMI Cable | |
| What did a good 10 MHz clock do for your Gustard R26? Thank you, dspringham | |
| What did a good 10 MHz clock do for your Gustard R26? "When you run the clock cable to the DDC on Ext Ref and then I2S from DDC to DAC, the 10Mhz clock signal is supplied to the DAC via the I2S signal. There is no need to run another clock feed as external reference for the DAC. In this case, the DAC... |
