Mmmm, not precisely what I'd hoped for however it will at least allow me to reduce box count so that is something. Thankyou for your response on this :) I'll have to compare sonics of the Gustard U18 output to AES vs the RED. I have the U18 and DAC synced from the same external clock so it...

Yes, I'll just need to keep a separate DDC in place for video content. I was hoping I could simplify things and reduce box count though it seems thats not going to happen. Anyway, I'll see if I find any sonic benefit with streaming on the USB output

Maybe I'll just try it, if it works I'll keep otherwise resell

Mmmm, might cancel my order methinks

Bummer, if this is the case it destroys the value proposition for me. It’s the combination of the two made it seem a good choice, particularly given it lacks a clock input

Hang on.... So I might still not be understanding.... Can I use the Red with USB input and Ethernet with it autodetecting the active input (assuming Windows has released control of the red)? I would only need one output, which in my case will likely be USB. Sorry if I'm being dense/obtuse.

Excellent, thanks so much Jack. You have convered everything I couldn’t gather quite comprehensively. Now for a long wait to recieve my Red. I’ll use the Silent Angel VitOS image on mine for Roon Bridge and USB input from my media PC for non musical entertainment. :)

Thankyou Jack, that’s the clarification I needed. I did in fact misunderstand how this worked as you surmised. I can use the coax output into the DI20HE, and possibly the USB output. All other connections are outputs. I think I can work around this. The reason I use a Gustard U18 is I only use...

Still, that wasn't what I was asking. I will be comparing both direct from the RED to DI20HE via coax (BNC one end RCA the other) as well as with USB in the chain. What I'd like to confirm however is that all inputs will output to USB. I've reasons to try both and whichever works best and...

Hi guys, been reading through this thread though haven't been able to clearly determine something. Am I able to use the USB and Coax inputs, output back to the USB out? This would allow me to get rid of my Gustard U18 which is dedicated to media PC output for movies/TV/games etc whilst using the...

Awesome, thanks. I’ll look at how e clips work now. :)

I’m open to suggestions. That is as yet undecided. I do dislike the stock ones which allow the headphone cups to easily swivel. Problem is I can’t see how to get the existing one off.

Does anyone know the trick to getting the flimsy headband off? I'd like to replace it with better :)

So.... Does anyone know the trick to removing the headband from M1060/M1060C headphones? I'd like to install a Soundman headband so the can's don't flip when handling.

Yes, no longer cheap though it is a clear step up over anything else I've ever run and with 2x SR Purple installed, and Soundaware D300REF + Afterdark Emperor Double Crown OCXO clock in front it really doesn't put a foot wrong. I'm at a weird place where I'm losing interest in reading thread...
