| Hermes added, question @mosler666 Thank you! I removed the USB connection from ADD-POWR Symphony and went straight to Hermes. I also changed the setting to 001 on Pontus. Whilst this seemingly did the trick, I heard the damn static again. It's only there on certain tra... | |
| Hermes added, update Thank you @fthompson251. Thanks for always being there my friend😌… Indeed those are next steps if I hear the static. Hopefully all a moot point but I’ll know for sure later today. Figured I’d start with the DH Lab cable as I’d prefer that over... | |
| Hermes added, question @curiousjim the connections are very straightforward and easy. It gets a little complicated as some HDMI cables require settings adjustments between DENAFRIPS DDC and DAC. There’s a great video from Alvin from Vinshine on how to adjust settings. I... | |
| Hermes added, question @curiousjim you’ll need an I2S cable to go from Pontus to Hermes. All other components go direct to Hermes. Here is my setup: Eversolo DMP-A6 Streamer (USB cable to Hermes) Elite CD Carousel (Coax cable to Hermes) Brennan B2 (Toslink cab... | |
| Hermes added, question @fthompson251 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 haven’t 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 you’re right USB re-route would be super easy, so I’ll def sta... | |
| Hermes added, question Thanks @fthompson251. I am away and won’t be home until tomorrow. That’s when I’ll try the config on I2S and/or go direct with USB cable…I initially didn’t 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 you @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 @cforsythe Thank you! That is super helpful as it sounds exactly like what I am getting! That is great to hear and I’ll 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, couldn’t wrap my brain around “renting” music), I can honestly say I love it! Almost life changing😂! However, I still find CD’s to ... | |
| Hermes added, question @gkelly Thank you! Good info. That is awesome you met Bill. He seemed great, answered every question/email right away! @audioman58 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 @gkelly 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.. |
