Chord Electronics - Blu Mk. 2 - The Official Thread

Rob Watts:

"There will be "get up and going" BNC to BNC cables - for two reasons. Running at 768 kHz SPDIF is a first; I was worried that somebody would use a flaky BNC cable that was not true 75 ohm coaxial cable. So supplying a set that is guaranteed to work will prove that a potential problem was the cables. The second reason is just to make sure you are up and running immediately.

I have tested it with a range of expensive BNC and it worked perfectly so perhaps my worries are not really a problem. Will be doing some proper listening tests when I get back from Asia."

Actually it is still with my dealer in Singapore. Been inform by my dealer that my Prepaid BluMK2 arrived. Couldn't believe it until show me the picture.

I am located in Sydney Australia going back next week to Singapore to collect it. Can't wait to listen to it.

Chord never include BNC cable even on CD Blu before.

Wow what a set up I'm so jealous

So close yet so far to getting it!

I like your 'everything to hand' placing of your kit. Are those tubes I see in the amp? I'm only slightly concerned by what looks like a foo mains plug on the Dave.


I think that must be his dealer's set up as it's not yet been collected. Maybe the dealer could let us have some first impressions?

Very nice setup and with the BeoLab 12-2 Grey speakers in the background =) 
 
Can you describe what type of power refinement gear you are using on the floor?
I can see the Nordost power capacitors and power line, but the rest is hard to see.
 
Then how do you feel about the M-Scaler upgrade vs DAVE alone ?

Very nice setup incl the BeoLab 12-2 Grey speakers in the background you got there!
 
What power refinement gear are you using, it is little hard to see on the picture?
 
And the one million question, how do you feel about the sound upgrade with the M-Scaler vs the DAVE alone?

You don't happened to need someone to help burn in the unit for you, so you're ready to go by the time you come collect yours?

Its ok you can thank me later... :joy:

OK, my bad, not an amp, just a load of foo.

It is nordost QV2's harmonic filters put into the nordost powerAC line

Each to his own.
 
I can't say what I think about this as it would severely test the mods patience and more than likely insult fellow members of the forum. Anyway, it would be off topic.

Have you tried different cables and are you headphones or speakers..?


No, that's that only pair of Nordost TYR2 75ohms Digital cable I own for now. Will buy another pair soon to compare to hear if there are any different. With another pair of BNC I can than connect both Blu and Blu MK2 to DAVE for a A/B back to back listening.

They are Headphone system only. Thank you.
