| Hermes added, update Thank you @fthompson251. Thanks for always being there my friendšā¦ Ā Indeed those are next steps if I hear the static. Hopefully all a moot point but Iāll know for sure later today. Figured Iād start with the DH Lab cable as Iād prefer that over... | |
| Hermes added, question @curiousjimĀ the connections are very straightforward and easy. It gets a little complicated as some HDMI cables require settings adjustments between DENAFRIPS DDC and DAC. Thereās a great video from Alvin from Vinshine on how to adjust settings. I... | |
| Hermes added, question @curiousjimĀ youāll need an I2S cable to go from Pontus to Hermes. All other components go direct to Hermes. Ā Here is my setup: Ā Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer (USB cable to Hermes) Elite CD Carousel (Coax cable to Hermes) Brennan B2 (Toslink cab... | |
| Hermes added, question @fthompson251Ā the good thing is I have 2 USB cables. I have a Synergistic Foyndation and DH Lab Mirage. I have the Foundation from Eversolo streamer in to Symphony and the DH Lab Mirage from Symphony out to Hermes. So if it is a bad USB I can alwa... | |
| Hermes added, question I havenāt touched the system in over a week, and when I noticed the noise (I had been listening for a while before I noticed it which is why when I did it threw me for a loop), I played a couple of other songs and only heard it on 1 or 2 of them. ... | |
| Hermes added, question Gotcha @fthompson251! Ok, I will try that first. Thank you so much for all the support. Appreciate it my friend. It just sounded like maybe it was the config with the advice above. But youāre right USB re-route would be super easy, so Iāll def sta... | |
| Hermes added, question Thanks @fthompson251. I am away and wonāt be home until tomorrow. Thatās when Iāll try the config on I2S and/or go direct with USB cableā¦I initially didnāt think it was the config due to it only happening on certain tracks. Kinda quirky which is w... | |
| Hermes added, question Thank you again @cforsythe. I also use DH Labs 2.1 HDMI...Very helpful indeed. I'll start with 001 on Pontus and go from there. | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? Thank youĀ @soix! That's what I'm hoping my Hermes will do. I have about ~20 hrs of play time on Hermes so I haven't sat down for a critical audition to see the difference. Ran into my slight noise/distortion issue which I am dealing with as you kn... | |
| Hermes added, question @cforsytheĀ Thank you! That is super helpful as it sounds exactly like what I am getting! That is great to hear and Iāll try that first actually. Alvin from Vinshine also thought it was the I2S settings. What HDMI cable are you using? | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? I just got into streaming less than 1 year ago. Whilst I held out for many reasons (large CD collection that I own, couldnāt wrap my brain around ārentingā music), I can honestly say I love it! Almost life changingš! However, I still find CDās to ... | |
| Hermes added, question @gkellyĀ Thank you! Good info. That is awesome you met Bill. He seemed great, answered every question/email right away! Ā @audioman58Ā Thank you for the info. I did set Hermes to 000. I never set Ontis as everything seemed to be playing fine and t... | |
| Hermes added, question Thanks @gkellyĀ I always leave the Symphony on high setting. I have never switched it to low or medium. Are you thinking that maybe a low or medium might help? | |
| Hermes added, question Thank you @soix! Another vote for less is more - definitely going to start there. USB cable (DH Labs Mirage) direct to Hermes.. | |
| Hermes added, question Thank you @gkellyĀ for the link to the article!Ā |
