    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    I should have added that some of the albums on Bandcamp cost as little as $1.00!! Plus you can buy cassettes, vinyl and artist merchandise. I believe a good proportion of the proceeds go straight to the artist/band. You can see how much has been given to the artist/band on the home page. And...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    A source of good quality music 16 or 24 bit is a site called "Bandcamp". I bought a VNV Nation album "Resonance" in 24/88khz and it sounds magnificent. However unlike the majority of their albums, this one was done with an orchestra. And a lot of older albums by various artists are on this site...

    I think the optical cable is limited to 48khz, so if you have files higher i.e 24/96 then you will not hear the music at its best. Or have I got that wrong?!

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Hi, I was looking around for high res music for my DAVE when I found this interesting site: https://samplerateconverter.com/educational/dsd-music It contains a nice table of different web sites offering high resolution music. I will probably download some samplers to see how they sound on...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Hi, Done it! I selected WASAPI (push) : digital output (Chord Async USB 44.1-768Khz) and everytime I change album, the bit rate now changes. What a great site this is!!! And I have proved to myself that you can teach an old dog new tricks!

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Well I have been using Foobar2000 today. I downloaded some components and ended up freezing the programme! Uninstalled and re-installed Foobar2000 and now the DAVE is showing 96KHz all the time! However the music is sounding very good! Forecast is for a storm tomorrow, so I will have plenty of...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Thank you all so much for your wonderful responses. I forgot that I had foobar on my laptop. So, I tried it and the bit rate showed as 48khz which was an improvement on 44.1! Then played Steve Wilson (hand cannot erase) which is 96khz however foobar was still showing 48Khz! Tomorrow I will...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Thanks for your reply. I will have a look through the windows set-up. I thought downloading the Chord driver would have been enough! I might try another player like JRiver or or Jet audio. Tell you what, I am surprised about is the ease in which DAVE plays different types of music. Today I...

    CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE

    Hi, Sorry that I am very late to the DAVE party......but I have finally managed to get one! I still have not worked out why my wife said YES! Could be a silly question coming up: When I use the DAVE through the USB lead the Bit rate does not change. For example playing VNV Nation Resonance it...

    DAC/Amp better than chord Mojo?

    Hi,   Has anyone compared the Mayflower Objective 2/ODAC Revision B to the Chord Mojo?   I appreciate that the mojo is more portable, but I was thinking of getting a DAC for the office/home.   Regards,

    ipod touch 6 gen vs ak jr, fiio x7 etc...is there that much diff in sound quality?

    Hi,   Perhaps you should consider buying a cheapish DAP and then buy the Chord Mojo to make it sound fantastic!

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Hi,   Just bought my first High Resolution album - Resolution by VNV Nation!   Sounds fantastic on my Cownon Plenue 1. It is a shame that they are only doing this album live in Germany.   I downloaded the album from Bandcamp, excellent music site for fans and artists.   I am hoping more...
