I used it for TT2 and Dan Clark Audio Ether2 few months back with great result. No complain about sound or build quality, just priced too low to be used with $4500 TT2 some may say.

I got one for you, it works perfectly but it may be too cheap. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D7LG5BL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think you made a great choice with TT2. While it's wrong for ASR guys saying Chord DACs are a rip-off, you can easily fall into the deadly rabbit hole of DAVE/Susvara combo. TT2 is definitely one of if not the best choice for headphone DAC/Preamp/HPAmp one in all solution.

Not sure if people are interested, Auralic products support Amazon HD, I am using Auralic Aries G1.

Guess you are still in the honeymoon period with DAVE and like to touch it. I always use remote to control everything. Congratulations for your happy purchases of DAVE and LCD-5.

Yeah, both works perfectly. Make sure you hear the click when plugging in, also moving the cable around helps.

Did you try the $8 one from Amazon? If you feel it's too cheap, you can try Wireworld Supernova 7, both works perfectly with my TT2. I heard somewhere people complaining about Lifatech unable to get 192 with Dave and TT2...

Having an audio-fund-approving wife will also help to reach the Endgame, she is usually wise and won't be willing to try hard enough to hear difference.

After reading the thousands of pages in DAVA and M Scaler, it's very easy to fall into the rabbit hole of tons of boxes/connectors/money and trying hard to "hear" meaningful difference to justify the cost. Looks like you survived!

Hi Somatic, recently I sold my reference level stereo system built 7 years and built a headphone based system. I was about to PM you about adding a dedicated streamer because I realized you were using PC this morning. I also was about to suggest you try TT2 with a good LPS, I used a Farad super3...

Haha. Seriously though, audio valuation is totally subjective. I was not happy with my TT2/LCD-5, thinking it's a little bit too bright. Thinking about EQ/DAVE/M Scaler/Susvara etc. Then a week ago, I changed the streamer, used WiFi instead of Ethernet, toslink instead of USB, upgraded power...

Very good point. Maybe manufacturers need to think about mood friendly, health friendly and environment friendly Streamers/Dacs/Amps/Headphones? When building the chain, we can have a lot of combinations here, such as environment friendly amp + heath friendly streamer?

For me, the stock optical cable from TT2 only goes to 96, but the $8 one I bought from Amazon goes to 192, my source is Auralic Aries.

I also heard reports of Lifatec having problem going up to 192K. Seems you just need to try your luck in your environment, the source may also matter.

I am using this $8 one with great results to 192K on TT2. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DI89VOM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I also bought a Wireworld Supernova 7 optical cable to try, not expecting too much.
