Hi, could you give me an idea of how well the battery functions, about how you estimate that it can play continuously off of a single charge playing regular flac files? Approximately how long has this player been in use? Thanks

I appreciate the 'bow' Ray! I will remind you that you played a significant role in my ending up with both Dave and a Blu mkii. This from your excellent write ups. So you get all my bows (after Rob of course) in this thread! Triode caught me though, my situation is more along the lines of...

And not to make it appear as if the blu and antipodes are being neglected, I'm 'auditioning' these little ebony discs that work on magic.

Just to say, I have gone to great lengths in the pursuit of mechanical isolation...

I have been instructed (based on listening tests) speaker wire should be 8' minimum for sound (timing?) reasons, and always the same length for both channels. Though admittedly the listening tests were not my own...

Yes, the buffer size does seem to be fixed. It is an useful tool to be able to try streaming Qobuz from alternate platforms, such as from their own webplayer, but my bed is pretty much made for me in my situation with regards to Roon (Antipodes server). I've only just gotten into computer audio...

Thanks for the quick response! This is a great idea, and it is proving to be helpful. Playing the same files through the webplayer is working much better. Initially, I was seeing some strange issues where the song will continue to play, and showing the buffer line extending beyond what is...

I've recently signed up for a Qobuz trial, using Roon and it's great...for the most part. I signed up for the Studio plan to include hi-res streaming, but I'm encountering issues with the higher resolution files playing properly. My internet speed test shows my connection to be at 10 mbps...

The DX200 plays well with the UERR's strengths. I find it produces a very clear sound, well balanced, with great detail, texture, air, not dark. It is nice that you can try different amps as well. DX90 for a fraction of the cost sounds very good with these IEM's as well. The Mojo is very...

I like the Ibasso DX200 + Chord Mojo (with attention to source, cable).

I get what bowei is saying regarding sweat, etc. impacting CIEMs. While this is true, my experience is that sweat and movement adversely impact all headphone situations. One of my favorite things about using CIEMs when exercising, is that with movement, I don't have to fiddle with them and...

I would say that listening to music through the bluetooth module is pretty good, certainly not bad. I just listened to some music now through bluetooth, and I find that the sound quality is surprisingly good! I rarely listen to music this way, as I take it for granted that the monitors will...

Yes, I've been using my new bluetooth modules for the past week (UERR's). Previously, both my wife and I have been using these with the MMCX connectors which worked well for the most part, but we did experience issues with intermittent sound (sound cutting out to one channel). Mostly, this could...

I received my monitors back today with the new IPX cable system. So far my initial impression is that I like the new cable. I am definitely happy with the new connectors, they are great. I am pretty happy that they are much less prone to any issue of intermittent sound. As for the sound, they...

Hey Bud, there has been much discussion regarding the digital cables used to connect Blu 2 with DAVE. There is quite a lot to sort through, and comments range from there being no need to pay attention to which cables used because these components together already offer sound beyond what is...

It's in our nature!! I think my abstinence from tweaking comment was only meant to defend my first evening, haha...As the previous comment touches upon, this thread can mistakenly give the appearance of there being flaws which need to be addressed to properly enjoy this gear, and the phenomenal...

The 3 month wait I had, turned into 10 days! So excited to have it here. 1st cd at random I loaded (still playing) is Pink Floyd's The Endless River. I'm not worried about further refinements, that can come later. For now, this is easily the best I've heard my system sound. Good stuff.

1310 British Pound equals 1833.61 US Dollar 2 of CA .75 m bnc cables something to look forward to. just maybe not too soon.

I think that the main thing, is that with the cross feed setting being implemented the way that it is, it is best to make it very clear. Another user commented that they were experiencing that their '2 channel soundstage had diminished or seemed a bit congested', and that they didn't know why...

Ray dude, can you provide any source for this information? Is that stated in the manual? I wonder how you figured that out, as the setting disappears when headphones are disconnected...

Quote from Learpot: "Just received my Chord Blu MK II today. Reserved on 1/15/18, ordered on 1/24/18, arrived at local dealer on 2/5/18, and taken home today on 2/15/18. My bedroom headphone system is now 80% complete. BluDave has finally become a reality. Thank you Chord. Thank you my dear...

I don't even listen to headphones out of DAVE, but I want to get a pair of Abyss Phi's, just to have the option to listen straight from DAVE, and whenever production allows, a Blu as well. I've got a great set up with two channel speakers, and things are sounding incredible, but listening out of...

One obvious answer, is that, fortunately, we don't necessarily have to choose one over another. I enjoy having options, and as others have mentioned, sometimes convenience is the deciding factor. Personally, in our household, we enjoy BOTH, analogue and digital.

Silvertone4, thank you very much for the detailed response! I really appreciate it. I look forward to reading more impressions from others using this cable. Your impressions offer an interesting twist in the pursuit of the 'best' cable solution for this connection.

draytonklammer, this is very strong praise for the Abyss Phi. I have read some pretty strong praise for the HE-1000 v2 out of DAVE, to the point that I was thinking to pick up a pair at some point. When you mention the Susvara, I'm guessing that those clearly better the HE-1000's, but I haven't...
