Congrats on getting everything back up so quickly. Looking forward to your impressions. Will you be running it with the mscaler as well?

Sounds like the Dave + Farad3 IPS upgrade became very musical for you. So you don't experience any harshness or fatigue? Does it still keep the same 3 dimensional/holographic feel to the music? When who tried you tried Dave + mScaler, did the mscaler have the farad3 upgrade? Was that setup...

Thanks for the feedback Steve and your other posts on the Farad upgrade as well. Did you listen with the Mscaler? What were your impressions. When I changed power supplies on my Auralic G1 in the past, it made it gave the music more energy, but I also found I was getting a little bit of...

Has anyone tested the new Farad upgrade on the 115 voltage? Anyone in the US with this upgrade yet? Does anyone know if the PCB that comes with this kit will protect against plugging the incorrect power supply voltage to each lead? (Reason that I ask is I move my Dave between upstairs and...

Thanks for talking me down everyone…lol That was exactly the kind of input that I was looking for on the A90. I will definitely avoid it and also that site. Tempted to try the HPA4 but I will probably hold off since the headphones I have right now aren’t demanding. Guess I’m still searching...

Anyone running the Topping A90 Headphone amp with Dave? I use the headphone amp in the Dave a lot, but I also own an iCan Pro. Just looking to mix things up for fun. I originally was looking at the the BenchMark HPA4, but looks like the A90 gets similar/better measurements and costs quite a...

Interesting. What kind of difference did you notice for RCA vs XLR? I run RCA to my headphone amp and XLR to my speaker pre-amp/amp. I wonder if it would be better to split the RCA to both amps.

Thanks for the reply, did you still have to spend a lot on BNC cables? Or does the Opto DX reduce the need for heavy/shielded cables?

I have a Dave and Mscaler with factory BNC cables. Which upgrade should I do next? Opto DX or Wave Storm BNC cables? Opto DX: https://audiowise-canada.myshopify.com/products/dx-optical-isolation-kit Wave storm: https://www.wavehighfidelity.com/storm-1/wave-storm-bnc-cable

Thanks for the details. Planning to hook mine up to a Mojo too. Is the touchscreen getting any better now that you have had in a minute? How does it sound? Do you get a usable Tidal interface? Can you navigate to your playlists or is it too slow?

Is it only a problem with that DAC? Hoping to hook the R2 to a Chord mojo. Does the touch screen work well if use another DAC? Can you navigate to tidal playlists?

HF filter On or Off? I have been running mine Off, but wanted to get everyone else's thoughts. I have Dave + MScaler.

Wow...a lot going on in this thread....lol I am tempted to buy this cable right now on Amazon. I run a Bluesound Node 2i into the mscaler or Dave. You could hear that much of a difference?

Great writeup! You put many of my exact same thoughts into words. Very well written and great descriptions. I have the same thoughts about the Highs. It's hard to describe how pleasant they sound to someone that hasn't heard it. And then once you hear it, it's intoxicating and addicting, and you...

So is the only a 3.5mm analog output? Or is there a digital out?

I have the same question. I wonder how the Tidal interface will work. Also, does anyone know if this will have any other outputs besides 3.5mm? I wanted to hook this to a DAC via the DACs digital input.

I’m sure interested in this info as well. How do you hook it up to a non Chord DAC? Would you use the single BNC output or optical out?

Thanks for the pics of the old vs new remote. Awesome setup...very nicely done!

Based on what I've seen in threads, I thought all of the newer Daves had etchings on the back? I never knew about the non-flat screen either. I'm gonna dig through the thread, but anyone have pics of the non-flat screen or older remote?

For those with the drop outs on the standard cables. Did you get the drop outs at lower bitrates as well? I get mine only if using the max filter to go to 705 or 768. If I use the Blue filter I get no skipping. That one is only 192 kHz so it’s using less bandwidth.

Thanks I will definitely give it a try. I bought my Dave and Mscaler with me to work today, I'm going to play with it some more right now.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I will look into some much nicer cables. Bank account is hurting pretty bad after the latest purchases...but who needs to eat right?! LOL

Thanks for the info, I may see if I can try different Cables before sending in my Dave. My dealer said to check back in 3 weeks so o have some time. So you were getting intermittent drop outs with the stock cables? When this happens I see the bitrate flash on the Dave screen on occasion...

Just got an mscaler and I am noticing this issue with my Dave. I get drop outs and also static on the right channel. If I don’t use the full dual BNC resolution it works fine. Dual BNC3 seems to not drop as much as Dual BNC1. Contacted my dealer and he said we will need to send my Dave to the...
