With nearly 3 years of DAVE ownership I still drool on a daily basis.

Due to box count reduction I'm now running a solo DAVE, no hardship though I love what the DAVE brings in audio replay. Sounds perfect still, what a DAC...

Interesting, I've always used DAVEs BNC inputs 1/2 from Mscaler as per the manual I guess I move BNC input 1 to 3, 2 to 4 on the DAVE

Merry Christmas

DAVE is a keeper. Integrates well with Naim gear and a real foot tapper, very hard to pull away to do household chores 😁 The MScaler adds too and to my lugs an element of analogue replay, great combo by @Rob Watts

My DAVE may have a $50 power supply but who cares when it sounds soooo good

Completely agree with the posts regarding Fanthorpes 👍 Purchased all my Chord products from them starting with the Hugo when the product was launched. Hugo long gone, now own HMS / DAVE / Wave Storm cables. Done now I think 🤔

Recently purchased Wave Storm cables to go between Dave and MScaler, wow I never thought these would make a difference, superb 👌

I was sceptical but the first few seconds of playback decision made.

Over the last couple of days I've had on loan WAVE Storm Reference cables between MScaler / Dave, I won't be returning these cables!!

Between my MScaler / Dave I use Mark Grant HDX1 cables https://www.markgrantcables.co.uk/uk/digital-cables/mark-grant-hdx1-pure-copper-digital-coax-cable/

On the brawn rack my ND5XS2 sits on the top shelf I may swap this around with the MScaler, the MScaler is set for max upsampling must be my mobile phone pic playing with the colours. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's one thing I haven't tried, I've thought about plugging the Dave into my NAP300s but as with all things Naim their power amps are best served with a Naim pre, maybe one day 😉

Using a Naim 252DR pre

I've owned the Dave for a few weeks now a massive upgrade over the Qutest both used with the MScaler. The detail, bass, sound stage from the Dave is off the charts, amazing!

Hope not I've just bought a new Dave 😬

I've just upgraded from a Qutest with MScaler to the Dave kept the Mscaler, just want to say what an upgrade completely blown away with the Dave, love it I've never heard digital replay sound soooo good. I feed the MScaler with a Naim ND5XS2.
