CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

Been listening to this on repeat all week—a recording seemingly made for M Scaler + DAVE.

Detail, transients, and double bass pizzicato like I've never heard before.

Stunning by any measure.

LCD-5 here too but I prefer them via a Woo WA7 rather than the DAVE HP out. Just a touch warmer.
LCD-5's playing through a DAVE with the Farad Super 3 Power upgrade.... something different... I can tell you... 😁 🎧

I share Rob Watts view on PSU and am quite happy with the inbuilt SMPS. I have no burning desire to change it.
That said I would love to try one at some point to satisfy my curiosity as so many here are very happy with their upgrades.

I just tried my Verum 1 MK2's from the DAVE since it had its new Farads installed..... crikey..... that's a massive step up... they've come alive!! Sounds absolutely awesome 👌

I would love to try those RAAL SR1-a Earfield Headphones! They look to be a fabulous change in listening and sound.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the existing SMPS Power Supply within the DAVE but.... it's a hell of a different machine with the Farad's in.... if you're ever near Buckinghamshire PM me and you'll be welcome to have a listen. 🎶 🎶
