Chord Electronics 2Qute DAC announced
Would anyone care to comment on whether it is better for 2qute to be always connected to power or plugged off when not in use regarding products life expectancy? Thank you!- manifesto31

Yes, the drivers from their website. The device is recognized in windows and the sound is actually amazing and I didn't even try dsd...It's just the sample rate light indicator that's confusing me.- manifesto31

Chord Electronics 2Qute DAC announced
I wouldn't know if it downsamples or upsamples since the colour also stays blue all the time if I enable and test 192k in control panel and the play 44.1 files. I've been told that using jriver media centre solves the problem, but I've read in this thread that many people use foobar and I dont...- manifesto31

Chord Electronics 2Qute DAC announced
Hello, I've noticed someone else asking about it on page 40 of this thread without getting an answer....Recently bought 2qute and noticed the light that indicates sample rate doesn't change when different types of files are played. I've tried playing files via different players foobar2000...- manifesto31

Schiit Asgard: Unboxing and First Impressions
thaks for these clarifying answers. but I still find it hard to believe that skyline315's setup: foobar-hrt music streamer-asgard vs. mine foobar-arcam rdac-asgard produces such different loudness (different perception taken into account).- manifesto31

Schiit Asgard: Unboxing and First Impressions
The explanation on the subject of bass seems logical. As far as the volume level or volume knob position is concerned I'm not so sure that it could be explained with lower loudness of rdac. As i've mentioned before i tried connecting the cd player directly to the amp and i had to increase the...- manifesto31

Schiit Asgard: Unboxing and First Impressions
i would say that's more than just interesting, considering the actual possibility that there are different units available in terms of performance. would appreciate feedback from other owners and maybe manufacturer also. i know that somewhere along these 113 pages (yes i've read all posts)...- manifesto31

Schiit Asgard: Unboxing and First Impressions
one thing is sure, there is no way my 10 o'clock volume would satisfy any listener, and you can easily listen to it at 1 o'clock. my pc volume is at max of course. maybe you also having no issue with bass is somehow related. i can think of no reason for this obvious difference but the fact that...- manifesto31

Schiit Asgard: Unboxing and First Impressions
as far as the volume level is concerned i don't have a clue...i mean it's not that important how much the knob should be turned, therei s still plenty of room for loud listening. but with both units below 12 o'clock is just not loud enough for me. asgards 12 oclock level was approximately the...- manifesto31

Schiit Asgard: Unboxing and First Impressions
Hello, I've decided to post my impressions on this amp. Let me point out that I'm a complete newbie on using headphone amps and therefore no reference of anykind. I've owned Sennheiser hd600 for I would say ten years now, I've listened to them using Rotel ra-930bx and for about a year now...- manifesto31
