    PGGB Offline Remastering

    I can only seem to find 5.3.46.0 in the download section of Remastero.com. Is PGGB Plus 6.0.42 hosted somewhere else or am I not looking at the section?

    Audeze LCD i4 TOTL In-Ear Monitor Discussion

    Hey fellas, how are you creating the horseshoe clips that attach to the i4? For me, I like the ear hooks but they keep breaking every few months at the clip where they connect to the i4. I'm going to get some ear hooks printed to hopefully find a more permanent solution. Any advice?

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Yup. Same page. I wrote earlier, that if it were not for PGGB I would have moved off of Dave a while back. Don't get me wrong. I love upscaled Dave, but in my system it is still missing the sheer palpable density of what I've heard out of DCS or what I imagine the May might be capable of (I've...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Thanks for those details. That already moves me away from M2. The thing I struggle with most on Dave is that it's already on the leaner side. If I ever move from Dave it will be for something that has a similar level of transparency, imaging, and resolution but with more "warmth, texture, and...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    I think that's exactly the right set of questions to ask. Yes you are, and yes it is a lot of it. It's a shame to forego all that work that went into the WTA filter, and if you don't have Mscaler or PGGB, it truly is a fine filter. But, for myself, I honestly would not use Dave without the...

    That is why, sir, we're all getting the popcorn ready for your firsthand reporting. It becomes another trusted point of reference for the data plot. What you say will start to tip things for me as to whether I need to get a M2 and test for myself.

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Just to beat this horse until it's good and dead: PGGB. I've spent as much upgrading the Dave, at this point, as on the Dave itself. Not everyone will agree with this, but bang for the buck, PGGB is the winner for me. Again, it's not the simplest in terms of the time needed to reencode files...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    It's got settings, but you don't need to mess with them. The automatic settings are usually the best unless you have some exotic use cases. There are EQ options, but that's EQ. It just works "right out of the box." It really is a different proposition from HQP in that way. I used to use HQP...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Honestly, that's hilarious (grinning). I am fairly confident though that, aside from a conclusion, there will be some insightful analysis. Dan Mance really highlighted M2's superior "transparency." I'd like to hear Triode User's assessment on other components of SQ as well, staging, dynamics...

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

    Right, there are options out there that can do both clarity and density/dynamics, but the components and design is going to cost. I think the 2Go/2Yu is a great value proposition. From the upscaling side, if you want to add note density PGGB does that, which increasing clarity, resolution...

    Thanks, I see. Then, I'll really be anticipating Triode User's tests and take on this. Since noise is a significant factor in all of this, I wonder what difference the Innuous Phoenix might make. I'm feeding a usb to optical signal into the phoenix which then goes, via a sablon cable, to a...

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

    I also use the 2Go with the SDCard, it's amazing, especially with PGGB upsampled files. Thanks, that's really helpful and right along with what I would suspect. Innuous products have really nice power supplies and so I bet that contributes to that weight and dynamics. I would want this with...

    Have you tested this against dedicated streamers, Innuous, Grimm MU1, or even just NUCs? I have a 2Go and have always been curious about adding the 2yu.

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    The discussion about the M2 v. Dave has been fascinating. I don't know if this has been raised before, but can I ask two questions? 1) Is all of this due to some witchcraft specific to the M2, or can the battery powered H2 also best the Dave with the same setup? 2) Can these tests be done with...

    Hi. Does anyone know where to source replacement batteries for the Hugo2 in the U.S.? I'm wondering if these might work: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/jauch-quartz/LI18650JP1S1P-PCM-2-WIRES-70MM/9560968

    in that case, wouldn't it be better to go with ABS? I really would like a durable solution, I don't have to replace again if possible.

    I'm taking it to a professional service. What is the difference between PLA and ABS? Also, what does infill percentage mean for the resulting product? Thanks guys!

    Sorry to bombard you with questions. I've never used 3D printing. They also have an option for ABS instead of PLA, and .2 instead .1 layer. Do you have any advice on these options?

    Thank goodness! I'm definitely going to get these printed. The clasp on my earhooks break every few months and it takes a while to reshape the hooks each time with a heat gun. On the Thingverse site there are 4 files. The L = large and S = small, but what is the difference with the 'T'...

    Only the 15AWG Mundorf umbilical is in same price range as the Arc6 upgrade, and is even more actually. The standard 18AWG Mundorf is a little over half the price of adding Arc6, and the 18AWG internal full loom is cheapest at 364USD. Certainly the Arc6 upgrade will be significantly more...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    I think this is why Sean Jacobs' power supplies synergize so well with the Dave. In Jay Luong's big power supply roundup, he rated the DC4 as being in a class by itself in terms of its ability to add corporeal mass to the sound. A power supply that excelled at transparency/resolution at the...
