Yes for both.

Yes, it is set to 192/24.

Double post.

You gave me an idea. So I went to the audio settings and lowered the line out level to all the values present there. The problem persists. I even unchecked fixed volume and set the volume to zero. No resolve. As long as the WiiM Pro is sending a signal (I don’t know what it is sending when no...

Im wondering if anyone encountered the following issue. I play cds 90% of the time but music discovery is done with the WiiM Pro. I use coaxial for both the cd player and the streamer. My Chord Mscaler has 2 coax bnc inputs so I use both of them at the same time. If the cd player is playing and...

I don't know if you guys want to see this but I interviewed Rob about the HMS. If you have 50 minutes to spare have a look.

In regards to 3): if I were to use this logic for other products we woundn't be buying a lot of other stuff. People buy if they find value and that value is subjective. So no, the price doesn't need to reflect sound quality, build quality and so on.

Gonna grab a beer and do some listening. Happy, of course. :beerchug:

The power is used to deliver volume, headroom (peaks) and bass on hard to drive headphones. You now have volume and some bass. Try to listen to something more powerful like the ones I mentioned and you'll hear what I'm talking about. I've been through this journey. I've switched a lot of amps to...

Extension is not the same with slam and force. I used to think that I had enough also until I heard the Susvara on the Ferrum OOR or even better the Trafomatic Primavera. Now, that's bass. When you hear it you realize what you are missing. Susvara has a lot more to offer, we just fall into this...

Let's not kid ourselves here. You can have the best amp in the world but outputting 1W in 60 ohms and you're still not gonna drive Susvara well. Power matters. Even if your current is 5A you still get 5W. It might be some amazing sounding 5W, it's still not gonna be enough.

In all fairness, A90 is not going to make the Susvara bass come to life. You need more power. I'm talking from experience.

Excelent stuff! Congrats on the install and thank you for the step by step pictures.

I am not upsampling. If I am then there is no issue since the sample rate never changes so it does not confuse sotm/src-dx. That's such a shame. I like both when they work. Don't know which one to give up.

This does not work because Roon doesn't stop the signal. The signal path indicator in Roon is stil blue after switching tracks (and waiting for those 2000ms), and as long as it's blue, the noise can be heard. The reason pausing works is because after about 4-5 seconds Roon stops the signal. Even...

For those who use the SRC-DX with the Dave: do you get noise when switching from a higher sample rate to a lower one? From 192 to 44.1 for example. My setup is this: Roon on M1 Mac Mini -> SOtM sMS-200 ultra neo -> usb cable -> SRC-DX -> dual bnc cables -> Dave. It does the same if I add the...

Shouldn't you be testing this for yourself? :sweat_smile:

I got a few questions for you guys: 1. How much time does it take to burn in the Dave? I got some info that it takes about 150 to 200 hours. Is that true? I sent the review unit back and got the new one I ordered and It doesn't sound like the review unit yet. 2. What is the best input to use...

I share your opinion. Listening to the Susvara through Dave's HP output is a sub par experience. No bass at all. Driving the Susvara takes serious power, you can't joke around with 1.4 W. That number was ok in 2015 but not now. I've tried many amps that can drive the Susvara and the OOR + Hypsos...

:grin: Do you have the streamer near you and do this for every track? I'm not contesting the result but this is quite extreme.

If you will allow me I'll talk a bit about network cables. I tried a few and the ones that made a sizable difference were the ones made out of silver. I decided to go with Siltech Classic Legend. I also tried Neotech and various Crystal Connect ones, including the TOTL Monet one, I still like...

Excelent stuff!!! I love it when people optimize the s*it out of their system.

I didn't want to get into it, but yes, the network switch, the power supply and the network cable do matter. I've got a lot of backlash for talking about cables on head-fi so I try to keep it to a minimum.

Like this. Network cable comes from the router into a Ubiquiti switch. The switch has SFP modules, so I added one for an optical connection. From the SFP module I run an opical cable to a TPLink media converter which recieves the optical cable and outputs a regular RJ45 connection. From this...

Thank you. Yes, I isolated the network signal using an optical conversion. There was a discussion about this on a local forum and it made me curious. Since the investment wasn't that big I gave it a go and boy did that make a big difference. So now I'm a believer. The Susvara are a pain to drive...
