Hi Everyone Question on DAVE Display Mode 4. I’ve had this unit for several years, today after reshuffling some components around Display Mode 4 never goes into screen saving mode. The screen blinks black every 30 seconds or so but it continues to display. Has anyone ran into this or knows...

Try setting the HF Filter (high frequency) to ON on the Dave. There was a slight harshness/brightness on the treble and highs that went away on my reference two-channel rig. Based on old feedback from Rob with BLU2 you can set the filter back to ON, I believe he made some changes on the...

The Phase setting must be set to POS, change that and re-test.

I couldn’t disagree more as that’s not always the case. Please see below, I have yet to hear a BNC digital cable that bests the AmphenolRF (incidentally of Belden make) and I have tried some uber expensive cables...

What are everyone’s impressions on the treble of DAVE vs DAVE-BLUMK2? Thanks!

This is in-line with my observations: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/chord-electronics-blu-mk-2-the-official-thread.831343/page-169#post-14032221

Revel Salon 2s, room size is about 20’w x 18’l

I ordered two 1 meter because it appears that longer lengths are back ordered until April. I added 7 because that's all I had on hand. I'm using the following ferrites: WURTH ELECTRONICS STAR-TEC snap ferrite 6-7.5mm cable Mfr. Part #: 74271131 However, because of the small diamater of...

Precisely because this digital cable had such effect in my system similar to an analog cable (interconnect, speaker cable) is what prompted me to write this. Again, I can only write on what I heard and this difference was not subtle or imaginary. I have noticed that with various digital cables...

BNC Cables Comparison with Dave/Blu Mk.2 After spending some time with these two BNC cables I had to share my findings, so here's my mini-review in the context of Dave/BLU Mk 2 in my two-channel reference rig. Canare 12G-SDI/4K...

This was one of the most head-scratching reviews I have seen from JA. It was as if the underlying focus of the review was to somehow justify that the dCS and Meridian DACs were better because of MQA support. I've heard the Meridian dacs before, they sound mechanical and they lack fluidity...

Thanks, Rob. Did you also get a chance to look into the noisy sine wave he mentioned with 24-bit undithered data?

Hopefully he didn't get one of the non-IOB flip-flop units by mistake   Just teasing, look forward to the first impressions.

That's a fair point but I can assure you you're in the minority. I'd like the M-Scaler to be packaged as a standalone product with streaming capability supporting Tidal, Spotify, etc. I also hope it would have a nice assortment of digital inputs.
