I haven't got Wave BNC, I use Townshend BNC to BNC and added ferrites myself.

I just had a demo of the Ansuz Sortz on my Chord DAVE, BNC plugged into the DAVE and the difference was not small. I just saw Jazzanova at the Jazz Cafe a week ago and have the Album in FLAC, with just the DAVE in pre-amplifier mode connected in a decent system Audiovector R3 Arrete, Goldnote...

Ground Devices? I am a vey happy long-term owner of a Chord DAVE/M-scaler pairing and was wondering if anyone has tried either of these devices on the DAVE; since there was reports of RFI pickup between the M-Scaler and DAVE, I added ferrites to my double BNC connectors...

The Super Tweeters are the Tannoy ST100 super tweeters, a great sonic and aesthetic match for my Electa Amator 2s, the Tannoy's have been discontinued a long time ago. Equivalent are the https://www.analogueseduction.net/all-speakers/ST300Mg.html, not a fan of the steam punk aesthetic, or the...

Bits and Pieces I’m a software engineer by training and a computer scientist by profession, so understand binary 0 and 1. I’ve tried a number of network bridges and they have either reduced or not changed the musicality of my high fidelity system. My hi-fi setup is Sonus Faber Electa Amator 2...

I'm going to get a DCS Network Bridge on home demo, reviews are good for shortlisting, however there's no substitute for your own ears in your own system. I like DCS heritage and model, firmware and software upgrades, as network streaming is a moving target and I do not want an unsupported dead...

Is a Network Streamer an improvement with a Chord DAVE/Mscaler - Roon Core on QNAP Setup? I have the above configuration QNAP TS-473 16GB of ram, both Roon and music on SSDs, and I don't run anything apart from Roon on the NAS. I have tried Pro-ject Ultra Stream 2, degraded the sound and the...

The Best sound quality running Roon with Chord DAVE/MScaler I have tried an Auralic G1 streamer and heard no improvement in sound quality when I had my Blu Mk2 which has subsequently been replaced by the Mscaler as I have ripped my CD collection to my QNAP TS-473 NAS which servers as the Roon...

Thanks for the feedback, however I have come to a different conclusion than yourself. The G1 would appear to be sensitive to the data feed/noise? The whole point of having my data on a NAS and I do mean data, e.g. PC back-up, movies and music is that it is a centalised and backed up secure...

Chord DAVE Mechanical Isolation with Nordost Sort Kone I have used the Nordost Sort Fut under my Hi-Fi Rack to good effect and thinking of the Sort Kones https://nordost.com/sort-systems/sort-kone.php under my DAVE. Is anyone using the Nordost Sort Kones under their DAVE, I'd appreciate your...

G1 to Blu showed no improvement over direct to Blu. I was playing regular CD quality files with no DSP in either Roon or the G1 to my knowledge.

Feeding Blu Mk2 Clean Roon Data I home demoed an Auralic Aries G1 connecting to my QNAP TS-473 running Roon server feeding my Blu to as a replacement for my Logitech Squeezebox. Depending on perspective fortunately I heard no discernible improvement in sound quality, which was surprising as I...

I'm a happy Blu Mk2 owner running into my DAVE via dual BNC and just curious, what's the point of the Blu Mk2 dual AES outputs as the DAVE only has single AES input and no current Chord DAC supports daul AES input?

Thanks for your very detailed response as you said Counter Intuitive, makes some sense, I've been using BNC 3/4 switched to BNC 1/2 and no drop-outs. Thanks for the quick fix, I may send it back when I'm on holiday for a proper fix as I don't want to be without music for an extended period.

I'm not quite following the train of thought that it is a Dave issue? My DAVE is connected to the Blu MK2 via dual BNC, so it should be irrelevant what source is connected to the Blu MK2 as far as the DAVE is concerened as it is receiving the data from the same input the Dual BNCs?

Chord Electronics Blu Mk2 USB Sensitivity I have a Chord Blu Mk2/DAVE front end running Roon off of QNAP NAS. I was using my venerable Squeezebox Touch as the Roon endpoint connected to the Blu Mk2 via SPDIF with no issues. However on selling my Squeezebox Touch connected to the Blu Mk2 via USB...

I got my Blu Mk2 back and some useful feeback from Chord, which points to my use of power conditioning causing a grounding issue which fried my SPDIF/IN as my Squeezebox Touch was not connected to the power conditioner the Chord Blu Mk2 was. I have since demoed and bought the Shunyata Research...

Chord Blu MK2 Output Faliure! I was happily listening to BBC 6 Music Giles Peterson when I left my lounge for 5 minutes to come back to the unmistakable smell of frying electricals. There was a strong plastic odour, so I immediately switched off my Hi-Fi system and set about locating the fried...

I've finally received my Chord Blu MKII and it's bedding in nicely. giving me more music and even improving internet radio mp3 streams :-). Apologies if this had already been answered, I did a search and no hits, one minor operational gripe, how do I turn off the rather bright display on the...

Most definitely follow the instruction manual of turning on DAVE 1st, as I did not follow this once and thought I may have damaged my speakers as the VERY, VERY large and abrupt power spike coming through my speakers had my startled, like a gun shot.   I guess it depends on your set-up, but...

Didn't realise there was a dedicated Blu Mk 2 thread, here's a link to my post, http://www.head-fi.org/t/838305/chord-electronics-blu-mkii-cd-transport-upscaler-review#post_13296842

I had the unfortunate pleasure of listening to the Chord Blu MKII at the Bristol Hi-Fi Show in the Chord Electronics room. Unfortunate in that I got them to turn the upscaler on and off to see if I could hear any discernible difference, I DID.   The system was the the Chord Blu MKII/DAVE...

I already have an ADC I used to archive my vinyl for listening on the move on my Walkman, however it does not output to the DAVE, it appears it needs the computer to register its USB output.   I want to listen in realtime, would the Behringer allow me to connect directly to the DAVE and listen...

No criticism taken :-).   Some context will make my question clearer, as on a previous post I asked about the sound quality of the DAVE in DAC mode with a pre-amplifier and the DAVE in pre-amplifier mode, the consensus being DAVE in pre-amplifier mode direct to my power amplifiers is the...
