oops system crashed on me. My system is a rogue sphinx with mullard tubes into little Harbeth P3ESRs. Rogue rates input sensitivity at 1V, but on the 1V Chord setting I simply wasn't driving the Harbeths enough. At 3V, the system was unlistenable due to static/ hiss. But things sounded great at...

Re the voltage settings, unlike some other posters , I found a huge difference. My system is a rouge Sphinx

Forgot to ask do they reccomend against rendus and sotms etc too?

Thanks I’m planning on keeping it. Sure it sounds little different but I need a good third dac and variety is the spice of life and then there is dsd.is there a link with the chord info or is it buried in this stream of 110 pages.

. Hi, I’m a new owner of a qutest in my den system, with some questions. Upstairs and in my headphone system, I use schiit, Gumby and Bimby with audirvana software. On the schiit Dacs i don’t use audirvana to oversample. It’s it recommended with the qutest not to oversample either. If not are...

1.maybe mod refers to a module of some sort 2. My level of knowledge on volt meters is zero, thanks for the help. 3. Getting to the main point, I was thinking last night that the setup sounded better after the repair. More detail in strings and percussion, and somehow more vibrant and exiciting...

Got the Gumby back. They confirmed problem and replaced a “mod. “ It works and sound great. Still would like to test the outputs.

Well I’m getting my Gumby back this afternoon, but because they turned it around so quickly, it might be they found no problem although I asked to check for a dc offset. I’ll report in. May need instructions on operating a voltmeter.

It felts like the Gumby has more authority (gain?) and more delineation. For example, if I can offer an analogy between sound and distance. I’m listening to Renee Fleming Christmas album in hd. On one track the bimby expands the seperation between her voice and another female singer to let’s say...

Don thanks for the advice, Am new to this and had troubles with the volt meter; I just sent back the unit for a second look. I think the rogue sphinx,s motorized vol pot must be very sensitive to what is going on. The static is not audible on my magni, unless you stop playback and turn up the...

My saga continues. My problem was that I get static in one channel when changing volume. The Gumby has been with schiit and I just got it back, with a note that there was no problem with the dac. I was disappointed but not totally surprised— on some amps the static is so low that to hear it...

I,ll try a different dac, an emotiva Dc-1, one more time and listen very carefully for sign of the DC offset. Need to make a decision whether to send back the gumby for repair.

Keith thanks for this.I swapped amps and concluded that there is static in two other cases. In the case of my valahalla2 the static level is so low that I can only hear it if there is no music playing back.Static is quite loud without playback on Jolda preamp/ emotiva xpa 200, but for some...

Hi, Im having this frustrating problem with my gungir mb. Im nearing the end of the return period, but Id really like to keep it, and could use some advice. Hope this is the right thread to use Hi have a problem with a new gumby, still within return period. Hope this is the correct thread to...
