| Should I add a DDC? I don’t know about streaming the test tones. The link I posted earlier will download a zip file so likely you will need a computer hooked up to your ddc to play them. If you have a Mac then it’s easy just connect your Mac via USB. If you have a... | |
| Should I add a DDC? You can get some test tones here I think https://www.denafrips.com/config-i2s You need to check left right and phase to make sure it’s all working correctly. | |
| DDC Recomendations No I am not sure. I recall a video from Alvin Chee at Vinshine where he discusses using an external master clock with the Hermes but he may have been talking only about the Denafrips master clock. | |
| DDC Recomendations I don’t think that’s true that the Hermes only works with the Terminator. If you want to sync the ddc with an external master clock you can do that. If you are saying that you want to sync the ddc with an internal clock on your DAC then you migh... | |
| Should I add a DDC? The shorter the cable the better. I think mine is 1m. I bought my Hermes used and the pin settings worked perfectly when I connected it to the Pontus. Denafrips has a section in the setup guide for the DDC about configuring the pins. I beleive... | |
| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp Fritz Carbons would not be too much for the room. I have a similar size room and use the Rev 7se. I have port plugs and when I use them it does not diminish the tone of the speakers. I usually have them unplugged and they work well for me. I ... | |
| Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp? I’ve not heard the MoFi but have heard the 501SP and it was an outstanding speaker in all respects. | |
| Should I add a DDC? I went with the Hermes for exactly this reason. No regrets and would happily do it again. | |
| Would a DDC (Denafrips Iris) improve my system? There are a couple of Hermes units for sale in the Audiogon marketplace for something like $1100. I’ve not heard the Iris so I have no idea if it’s worth the extra $600 to you or not. I feel that mine was worth the money though and would happily... | |
| Should I add a DDC? Yes it would likely make a noticeable improvement. I added a Hermes into my setup (I have the same DAC) and it made the soundstage wider and deeper, improved imaging and transients. The Iris will likely make similar improvements. The Hermes has... | |
| Would a DDC (Denafrips Iris) improve my system? Yes, that was one of the reasons I got the Hermes. | |
| Would a DDC (Denafrips Iris) improve my system? The Hermes I put in between my MacBook Pro and my Pontus II 12th made a noticeable difference. The Hermes is one step up from the Iris. I suspect the Iris will make a noticeable difference. The Hermes gave me a wider deeper soundstage and bette... | |
| How can I get the last FPGA update for my Denafrips Ares II? Use the Vinshine website. I believe he stated that he would do best he could to support folks who purchased Denafrips through him. | |
| How can I get the last FPGA update for my Denafrips Ares II? Did you try Alvin at Vinshne? He might be able to help you. |
