| 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.. | |
| Hermes added, question Thank you @gkelly for the link to the article! | |
| Hermes added, question You know I hate inconsistency! Like if the static was there all the time, great. The intermittent inconsistent stuff is what keeps me up at night🤦🏼♂️😂 | |
| Hermes added, question Thank you @fthompson251! Also very helpful and a good read. It didn’t say anything about any negative side effects, but I totally am on board with the “too much of a good thing”. Makes sense. And I had thought of bypassing the USB as I also run my... | |
| Hermes added, question Thank you @painter24! Very helpful! Were you getting the noise on all tracks or just some? That's why I'm a little perplexed. I know the I2S can be quirky... I can certainly play with the settings on Pontus and see if that eliminated it, but b... | |
| Need help, what am I missing??? @audphile1 how would I configure NAS for the Brennan? The only output it has is Toslink? | |

| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? GOT IT!! Cannot thank you enough @fthompson251! If you’re ever in the NH area dinner and drinks on me my friend🥂! All 3 playing like a charm. Now it’s break in time for Hermes!…😊😊😊 Sincerest thanks to All who took the time to respond and help! Li... | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? Thank you @fthompson251. I just started another thread about this. I’m in desperation mode😂 Ok, so USB (Streamer) Coax (CD player) Toslink (CD rippper) All 3 direct to Hermes in Set Pontus to I2S and leave Pontus alone. Then just tog... | |
| Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible? @fthompson251 I just unplugged and plugged Hermes back in. So how Faldo I proceed to listen to Elite CD player which is connected via Coax In on Hermes? I’m assuming the Toslink and Coax should be on Digital In on Hermes, not Digital out correct? |
