If i hadnt found out the clarity my hd800 now gives with the inner sheets removed.. i would have gone D8000(pro) too.. The non pro has a more profound bass while the pro is brighter with wider soundstage.. closer to hd800

Thats why i love these optical inputs on my Dave :) to be best isolated. Then all inputs on Mscaler sound as good

Werent you going to visit a nearby electrician friend who could do the cap mods for you?

Not shure what youre trying to do.. A resistor in series with a speaker or headphone or parallel?

Welcome back!! 😁

Ive found another article on this Russian site: https://next-hifi.ru/obzory/new-4-million-taps-digital-processor-m-scaler-quartet/ And put it through a translator. Rob Watts is raising the bar Four million equations in the new M Scaler Quartet processor. At the Munich exhibition, Chord...

Ah found it was you who posted earlier this: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/chord-electronics-dave.766517/post-16409489

Considering 1v, 75A makes 75W. But im sure this much is only drawn on 4M and only while playing/processing.. like HMS

Rob means 75A current running inside of the combined circuits.

Dave set on DAC mode (hold left/right buttons simultaniously) sets its volume at -3dB and i believe that means 3v output. To get 2v it must be more like -5dB or so I remember someone posted a list once Edit: youre right with Blu also added you should do +3dB = -2dB

75A could never run through those thin wires he used on the proto.. 1mm2 wires would get burning hot.

I think the PSU outputs a higher voltage and each FPGA has its own DC-DC converter to 1v, just like the current Mscaler. DC-DC circuit direct on other side of FPGA

Perhaps a Topping D10(s) is worth looking at: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/topping-d10-balanced.25360/

Will be a loong time before 2nd hands hit the market.. but im not buying unheard so next year probably

They mentioned £12k (pounds) Thats $15,24k on current exchange rate..

This is interesting indeed, one could ditch crossover filters in speakers. I would then really like to also see phase shifting options to align the speaker drivers 😃 One also needs two DAC's to feed the signals. But i think the outputs are hardware circuit bound together by a multiplexer chip

What The ear.net posted about it with their price guess:

One more interview: So it shows the incoming samplerate on display.. @Rob Watts does (or can you make) it also show the bit depth of the source?

Make this a suggestion for @Rob Watts for if its not in there. He can still implement some functions before it gets frozen with the release. Perhaps we should create a wishlist

Dmn How can i edit a fogotten quote in a mssg 😑

Nick was one of, according to Rob's earlier post, 'select audiophiles' that had a listen on speakers with him?

John Darko was there too.. Skip to about 10:20 of the clip New fact: Quartet has a 10 band EQ 😀

Just love to see more people getting their ears on my mods and creating them for their own. Its no longer just my words saying what i hear :) https://www.head-fi.org/threads/my-choral-housed-chord-mscaler.964931/post-18128226

It was fun to help you getting and assemble everything! And be shure to try those 60's redbook albums i gave you 😎 they will transport you right to recording scene 🎧

Above new Dave's price as said.
