Or you could explore using an optic link like optoDX with the receiver (DAC) side battery powered. It uses so few power a decent size battery can last a week on one charge. Or.. create my boxed optic solution feed by Scaler's and TT2's own power. Breaking the groundloop. Others did..

So how about starting a Choral music player project..? I rendered a 1st design concept with a 8,8" display. It would be a standard PC in there so all freedom as to what software to run on it, like foobar, Jriver etc.. Im just doubting to CNC one :smirk:

For the ones using Foobar.. try this foobarcon control app.. i like its features like one click show biography of current playing.. or goto all albums from same artist/composer etc.. the free version is ad free, only misses minor functiins like lyrics and pics view.

Not buddhism but audio nirvana.. nothing can touch him there 😉

I found it amuzing to read how he went from not willing to spend much on coax.. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/chord-electronics-blu-mk-2-the-official-thread.831343/post-13471859 .. to building his Wave empire asking lots for a cable. thats what the smell of big £ does. He and a friend are...

Ik zie dat je in Amsterdam ben. Heb je al bij stefan van headphone auditions gevraagd.. wellicht kunnen ze bestellen voor je.

Nice! Might try it. Ive been testing with a €15 Savitech SA9227 DDC. Works nicely too up to 384k.

One way to check if either remotes are transmitting is to use a camera to see the led light.. sometimes the glass in front of a sensor is blind.. black plastic.. manufacturer forgot to replace it by the final ir one.. try to open the lid and point the remote to the sensor..

Dont playlists look mainly at local paths? Maybe try Hiby's SMB reading function. I used hiby app alot reading from my network pc with the music.

I found an italian shop listing them: https://videosell.it/products/padiglioni-g-type

Its just cool diy'ing you own headphones 😎

Im playing around with a €15 little Savitech BravoHD with SA9227 USB driver chip to Spdif & Toslink. It does 384k like a charm. Ofc toslink goes as far as 192k. Skipping forth and back live while playing between coax and toslink makes no difference in SQ with Hms dual optical linked to Dave.

OptoDX comes as a set of TX and RX units. SRCDX is mostly used with software upsampling and to bypass a Chord DAC's USB chip.

Oh i tweaked my heart out.. just see the links in my signature 😄 For streamers theres plenty choces.. id say go with the most convenient interfaced one. I dont stream myself, ive made a player out of a thinclient PC with a ddc and foobar2k & Jriver MC with multiple remote apps on my...

Stick with Mscaler and keep your DAC isolated from noise imo preferably using optical. It eases your mind not to keep tweaking software parameters so you can enjoy the music :beyersmile:

I said it earlier.. Mscaler is hugely dependent on the source being bitperfect. Even a 1% software volume attenuation or dsp/eq breaks down its abillity to reconstruct PCM samples with good result. And imho really some tracks are so much digitally studio processed that Mscaler ..eg more taps...

Better go after OptoDX instead of SRC. Isolate your TT2 from noise.

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...
