No I haven't had that pleasure yet but it doesn't take too much imagination to see who would see the benefits of such a development. Pretty much everyone who has commented on the product and the designer also seem to put deep accurate soundstage at the forefront of their observations. Perhaps you do not accept that but I think it is not unreasonable to take that at face value. If I listen to an acoustic artist the imaging is not hamstrung by modern dacs but if I listen to an orchestra or large pipe organ it is. That differentiation is likely to have commercial value imo.

has the user manual of dave been released ?

 

[audiobill]

On Chord's site they have the driver available for download on the DAVE product page, but no manual yet.

  Have a look at What Hifis best dacs and remember jaZz the truth is out there.

 
 
Just for those who haven't read it yet...

Who knows where DAVE will sit, in the pecking order, of DACs in the sub-£10,000 category, when it's released...

I had got the following information from a passionnate sailor :
 

[left] In late November, the dave will be on display for a week.[/left]

It will be possible to check some new cables.
 
Will it be easy to listen the differences with the mojo in my pocket?
 
A lot of headphones are in shop like Stax, Grado PS1000 and Sennheizer HD800.
 
So I will be there.

Where and what is this place in GENT where you got your "Mojo" ?  ( I am in Brugge, so I may also want to go there to have a listening at the DAVE)

 

[rkt31]

Maybe it casts a spell upon everyone who hears it

 

[rkt31]

one query about Dave ! can both xlr and rca output be used at the same time like one for feeding power amp other for a sub ?

 

[rkt31]

what will be the output impedances of rca, xlr and headphone out ?

 

[bmichels]

Big question :  Will the DAVE be able to take advantage of the "dual data output" of the CHORD BLU Transport, like the QBD76 does ?

Believe DAVE will have dual coax BNC inputs........If this is the case then yes

Bigger question is;    Will DAVE sound better than QBD76 with dual inputs from Blu !      I'm guessing it won't as don't think this part of DAVE is an upgrade to the QBD76.    
 
I'm sure Rob can shed some light on this !
