I'm definitely interested in your findings on the Dave PSU, please share your findings. Much appreciated!

Noted with thanks. Hope Chord can put this in the Dave's enhancement list for a future firmware update.

Thanks Romaz, I definitely try out HQPlayer. Just wondering, if I go Roon/HQPlayer/uR/Dave in Win 10 environment, is it possible to do native DSD? 

I can only get the Dave/microRendu/Roon (mac server) to work in DSD using DoP setting for microRendu. Chord Dave supports native DSD input but it seems Roon is not seeing uR/Dave as native DSD capable. Hope this will get rectified soon as running native DSD should solve some of the dropout issue...

Agree on RCAs being a touch more transparent over XLRs, but difference is subtle. I did my initial 500 hours of listening with RCA and when I first switched to balance out I did noticed a very slight congestion and brightness in the upper mids. The situation improved after 100 hours mark and...

With Magnepan 20.7, Dave's treble is one of the best I've heard, tons of micro dynamics with excellent transparency and extension. I wouldn't say that Dave is either forward or laid back, it just reproduces a truthful rendition of the software and source equipment performance. I am testing a...

  Have the same problem with DSD files dropout with iMac / Audirvana Plus and to a lesser extent Aurender W20. I've consulted Rob Watts and here is reply:   "The problem I have is that with Dave is when DoP fails, I immediately mute the OP, as otherwise you can get big bangs and pops - so a...

  Just in, P5/Uber with the Dignus case! Running in right now....

Have to agree that Abyss directly out from the Dave is really superb. Haven't tried the Woo 234, but the best I've heard previously is Abyss coupled with Viva Egoista 845 which for me is of reference quality. Directly out from Dave, I maybe losing a tiny bit of lushness and euphoria of the 845...

Will definitely try Dave direct to the Grypon monoblocks,should be an interesting comparison, I use Vertere HB cables throughout my system and will be trying different power cables with Dave. Any fellow headfiers in HK interested in listening to the Dave, please PM me.   Nothing, just...

  This just got in! Will be doing an extensive review for a local magazine in the upcoming month. Running in for a couple of weeks right now with Mass Kobo 394 and HEK and will be hooking this up to my reference 2 ch. system with Aurender W20 / Esoteric K01X / Gryphon / Magnepan 20.7 after...

Welcome back spkrs01. With the 380 Cu, the sound is getting close to the RWAK240/Hugo stack I've been carrying despite not being as powerful to drive full size headphones (HD800, HEK). With iems, it fine and now the Hugo stays home more often. Witches' Brew is also one of my favourite Living...

There are some dirty spots just above the skip buttons on mine, I use an eraser and it came off after a few rubs.

Yep, I usually stack the DAP/Amp back to back so the cable is bent 180° normally, just flipped it over for the photo so the wire screen is compressed. I DIY it using Nordost ODIN pullouts.
