My 2017 iMac 5k does have a fan that will kick on when the cpu has a good load on it. It’s fairly quiet when it does kick in, but I seldom notice the fan running. Now my MacBook Pro is a different story. You know it when it’s fans kick in.

I have my Roon Core running on an iMac. Works great!

I've had my TT2 for about 4 months. I received my M Scaler today, and have been listening to it for about 3 hours now. I was going to hold off on my "first impressions", but I'm finding it hard to do! Windseeker, your comments are very well stated. I'm experiencing the same observations...

Too bad P2Q isn’t around to enjoy these tribute comments! :)

I’ve had my TT2 for about 4 months now. Love it! I just ordered an M Scaler yesterday! I’ll provide a review once it comes in next week, and I get some listening time in.

I’m not going to do it.

I also said NOPE... to iDSD Pro! Over promise and under deliver. I decided to get a Chord TT2. Received it 2 weeks ago. Fully Roon Ready. No MQA, but I don’t miss it. I still get the first MQA unfold via Roon, when I need it. Everyone should consider your options for your DAC solution. If TT2...

Another great find/realization on the TT2... X-PHD 1 is GREAT for older jazz recordings that are recorded in HARD right and HARD left stereo. It's great on HP or AMP mode for amp/speakers. Currently using this on "Passing Ships" by Andrew Hill, 1969, Blue Note Connoisseur Series. It was a...

I’ll have to look at mine. I haven’t used the 3.5mm plug yet. It does look deep in your picture. Are you having trouble getting the plug inserted?

Awesome! Congrats! It’s finally on its way. Looking forward to your first impressions.

Let me guess... you like the Susvara’s with the TT2 ?! :)

Nice review of the TT2! I use my TT2 mainly (90%) in AMP mode, connected to a Lexicon NT512 (made by Bryston, same as their 9BST), driving SVS Ultra Bookshelves, and using a SVS SB-2000 Sub. It's a near-field setup on my home office desk. I'm extremely happy with the SQ! Now, I'm questioning...

Wow... That Miska character is NOT a Chord/Rob Watts fan! I guess when you are trying to sell your own software solution, you HAVE to lash out at hardware/architecture guys.

Also known as, P2Q'd.

Hang in there. It's worth the wait !! I can't get enough of mine. Rediscovering my music library has been a blast!

Correct. No Scaler (yet). I'm enjoying the TT2 so much now, I'm going to wait a few weeks on the Scaler. The TT2 is so much better than my Oppo Sonica DAC, I'm not sure I can take any more greatness right now! :)

I've been listening to my TT2 for a couple of hours now. Totally blown away. Some observations... I listen to a lot of jazz. The TT2, just as Rob Watts reported, adds so much clarity to the bass (upright bass is currently playing). He talked about better transient response helping with the...

Interesting story... when I was getting ready to pre-order mine in December, I spoke to Drew at Moon Audio. I told him I was on the fence on color, and asked which color might be easier to get quickly. He said that Chord had some manufacturing delays with the black coating on the TT2, and...

All you guys made me paranoid about the plastic! It was the FIRST thing I did when I opened the box! :)

It sounds incredible! I’m a (has-been) percussionist. I’m always focused on how the complexity of reproducing percussion is achieved by an audio system. Most DACs struggle to produce the realism of Percussion sounds, especially cymbals. The TT2 blows away every DAC I’ve heard. Also, the...

The DAC to the left of the TT 2 is my previous “chip” DAC, the Oppo Sonica DAC. On top of the Oppo is the Beyerdynamic A20 headphone amp. They have been demoted to my iMac system to the immediate left of the Oppo. JBL LSR 305s and LSR 310 sub. The other system is what I’m using the TT 2 on. SVS...

Pics coming later...

It’s here !!

I just hope to NOT P2Q mine! It’s silver. How loud can I play it. Is it okay to drill some cooling vents in the top?
