Anyone using Vox direct to amp with no preamp? If so, how is that sounding?
Did you ask for a silver/black one? At one point I got a temporary Vox unit that was fully black. Didn't even know there were 2 different versions before that. So I made sure to specifically ask for.a silver/black Hub when I ordered it,Gripes:
- Why is it in black? Black grilles, black feet?
I don't think so....has been already confirmed by Nicolae?8-pin DIN connector?
@Lono technically it could be either one I guess. Earlier units of the Vox seem the most likely if Nicolae is sending out a replacement Vox unit. Looks like in some cases both the Vox and the Hub are configured for the same protocol (Rockna I believe) but they still can't understand each other. The configuration basically determines which part of the i2s protocol (data etc) is expected on specific pins of the i2s cable (HDMI in this case). I think @m-i-c-k-e-y had his Singxer SU-6 connected to the Vox with i2s, so the i2s itself works. It's just that the Singxer SU-6 is fully configurable with physical switches so you can change the meaning of the pins until it works.
Already have HUB but still need SU-6...More!:
So it leaves me an unused Singxer SU-6. It has USB galvanic isolation/reclock etc. SO? Hook it up! So its..
PC (USB) -> Singxer SU-6 (SPDIF, upto PCM384/DSD128) -> HUB (SPDIF or I2S) -> VOX
Interesting. Anything in particular you like better? I have the same issue here, an unused SU-6 . Haven't tried the SPDIF input on the Hub yet but guess I'll have to try it. Unfortunately the stack is still out for repair. Been 2 weeks and haven't heard anything yet.More!:

I LIKE IT BETTER! Than USB or LAN on HUB.
So this is what I am listening now.
