Gallantly abandoning their button-clad comfort zone, the audio player veterans have shown that they can tango with the top dogs in build, aesthetics, software design and sound. Few interface quirks notwithstanding, this is a luxury product with the function and form to match. Sonically, it’s...

I Agree wholeheartedly with Triode as I'm running 2 channel with valve monoblocks, using Dave direct was to digital for me, slightly thin sounding, putting my Valve preamp in the chain and using Dave in Dac mode created a smoother and more dynamic sound

Hi Guys Ive just purchased a IsoTek Evo Genesis one with an outet power of 100w can someone tell me the power consumption of Dave please Thanks Deano

I have just purchased the Jays Audio CDT-2Mk2 and it's incredible, best transport I have ever heard, easily rivals transport 2-3 the price https://www.jays-audio.com/product-page/cdt2-mk2

Wow that's excellent, thank you so much, very appreciated Cheers Deano

True, but would be good for a newbie to get an idea of what's required, how things work, but only if it's not to much trouble for you Cheers Deano

Hey Nayparm my LPGT arrives tomorrow, can you please show a photo of what settings you use in PEQ please Cheers Deano

Looking at your photo I can see you have the power cord still wrapped up and your using a twistie to keep it tidy Maybe un do this and let the cable straighten out, friend had a sky box modulator that kept causing the sky signal to drop out and when we untied the twistie and straightened the...

I had the same issue drop outs from the right speaker, thought it was the stock bnc cables so changed them out for others and problem was reduced but still there Solution was making sure the cables exiting the M Scaler are straight and no pressure on the connectors, it seems they need to be...

I have just used a similar set up as Ray Dude and can say that this system for isolation works extremely well, everything becomes tighter and much fuller, I don't have ceramic or stainless balls yet, I am using marbles, Will order some ceramic b all bearings and see what difference they make...

Hey Guys, I have a question, when using Dave in Dac/Pre amp mode and feeding a LDR preamp via single ended cables, is there and ideal volume setting for the output volume I know in DAC mode the Dave is outputing - 3db, I'm wondering if anyone else here is connecting to an LDR preamp the same...

Maybe who knows but very strange as 3 of heard the same difference

Thanks for the input, and yes I understand too the system is not different and maybe it could be just my ears, but there were 3 of us listening straight out of the box and there was definitely a a big difference Very strange, maybe the difference is Dave was not run in, I don't know, hard to...

Dave is going to blow your mind

Hi Guys, After reading online that many reviewers and owners of the Dave had stated that Dave used as a preamp was astounding! I was a little miffed! I initially setup Dave on day one as Preamp/Dac and was not impressed, actully I was quite disappointed, so I swapped back to my LDR preamp...
