    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Looks like the 2go isn't passing on the current to the Hugo2. Make sure your charger is a at least 2 to 3 Amps. You might want to connect with someone over at Chord electronics regarding this issue.

    JCAT femto / XE USB3 PCIe controller Review + Appreciation Thread

    I'm using both net xe and USB xe cards in my server built around the SOTM audiophile motherboard with their SOTM clock. I use jcat nano psu between external 5v psu and the xe cards. The nano's use 'audiophile' capacitors and the sound does improve. I swapped out the 'audiophile' capacitors for...

    Best power upgrade: Replace that cheap circuit breaker with this, https://avcorp.pl/product-eng-4275-GigaWatt-G-16A-Installation-Circuit-Breaker-mono-phase.html and if possible install a dedicated power line from it to the music gear. The GigaWatt circuit breaker brings a blacker background to...

    I'm using the sw6 with no issues and it made a positive difference to the sound. Its clocked by the ock2 which also clocks the r26 and server. Wouldnt do without the sw6 or ock2 now.

    Hi, I have the sw6 clocked by the ock2. The sw6 is connected via ethernet to jcat net card xe. I have no issues there, BUT.... I had similar issues like what you are describing with the cisco meraki switch preceding the sw6. ( they are cascaded), the ciso would lose the connection after a minute...

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    Sending it to Chord entails long wait times ( I'm in India) not to mention exorbitant costs. I would like to avoid that and do the change myself if possible. I changed the batteries myself on the Hugo2 last year and it seems fine so far.

    I just ordered the sw6. Currently i have two cisco meraki switches that have been modded with upgraded power supplies and clocks by audiophool.nl Both are 'cascaded'. The first one receives the network from the home via one of the optical slots and connects to the second switch thru its second...

    I had a rca cable made by a guy in Germany a few years back using flat ribbon silver. The type that comes stuck on a tape because its so thin that if one were to handle it without the tape it will tear. This cable is now somewhere amongst the odds and ends in my toolbox. The silver ribbon cable...

    In my experience, shielding of any kind be it on power cables, rca, ethernet or usb makes the sound flatter and 'closed in'. The only place I use shielding is inside the server. Shielding in audio in my humble opinion is overrated. I found out the hard way! I made all my cables with shielding...

    My very non technical 2 cents on clocks: I have just recently mounted a clock card sotm sclk ex in my server and there was an immediate uptick in sound quality. This while the r26 was using the lhy ock2 as master clock. I then connected the sclk ex to the ock2 and the soundstage really opened...

    I agree. Mass loading should be used carefully and as a tool for tuning the sound to one's tastes. For example, I found that mass loading the ock2 clock and tube amps was a no-no. Just deadened the sound. One kg weights on the server and hard drive enclosure ( 2x 18tb hdd) yielded best results...
