    iFi audio Quasar - Power to the People!

    i guess u can refer to this, where the current directions on the 4 cables match with this design, so the resultant magnetic field bend this way.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Forgot to tell USB out to dCS work perfectly for all sampling rate, just switch to SPDIF RCA and there is problem. Source is Roon core on local LAN, ZS connect by ethernet Gb network, wifi disabled.

    iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane

    Any ZS user here connect to dCS DAC through SPDIF RCA output? I suffer continuous random dropout pop when playback sample rate is over 96k, include all DSD DXD. I suspect the stricter signal quality requirement of dCS make it failed to secure the signal locking, or my ZS has problem; so want...

    Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread

    Hi is there anyone can share experienceo or info about advantage of DSD playback SQ by adding HMS to Qutest ? What I read seems the 1M tap filter of HMS takeover the job of WTA1 upsampling filter in Qutest, besides this, the process algorithm is the same or different? Thanks.

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    Hi I conclude with you. The best DSD playback SQ I got from Qutest is streaming Roon to dCS NB, enable DSD to PCM conversion, then SPDIF to Qutest, 2nd runner up is convert DSD to PCM before streaming to NB.

    Chord Electronics Qutest DAC - Official Thread

    I just try connect my dCS NB dual AES to Qutest, It can playback all sample rate music (PCM & DSD, even DSD128) without any problem all night, except those sample rate equal to or below the "Dual AES Sample Rate" config in dCS NB settings. They will playback in mono, and suffer random pops and...

    Another sharing, just add a iUSB 3 between my NUC and DAVE gives wonderful SQ. Definitely worth it. I've used iUSB, Jitterbug, USBRegen, mR in recent years, and my NUC is fanless with LPS.

    For those suffer from random noise playback when switching between PCM DSD files, just to share I have workaround this by adding HQP to my Roon, and set it to resample to DXD.

    I observed that my DAVE screen usually blank once within the first 30 sec of a music track playing, then the 2nd blank will probably happens at between 2-3 min of the same track. And virtually repeat the same for every track of music as the playlist goes on. Sound wise the blanking does not...

    Thx Rob for adv, the blanking does not has any effect on the music playing, which is happening after the initialization period of ~20 sec which it boot up.  So I just feel little strange and worry.   For the remote control issue, the POWER button can't put the DAC to stand by, and I've use...

    I've my DAVE for about 3 weeks now, besides the wonder sounds, I've 2 question for the unit :   1. the display will blink sometimes, where it will off for about half sec, then resume.  This often happens within the first few min of power on (I use the power button), and then randomly later on...

      The "Resync Delay" in my Roon was 0ms default at the beginning, after this problem happens, I've try to increase it to 50ms, then 100ms, and it still the same.

      Thx for the info.   Just to clarify my case is the noise or distorted music will continue to play, I've observe nearly 1 min before I stop it, so I suppose it will play until at least for the period of the whole song.

    Hi all,   I'm suffer from random playback problem, where the sound playback will randomly become either 1. high freq noise only, or 2. highly distort music.   It happens randomly when playback switch to a hd sample rate media, either 24/96 or DSF etc, if switch from a hd media to 44.1k...
