Pc -> usb -> matrix spdif2 (ddc) -> optical -> mscaler
Dave does have more of everything lol, but def has deeper bass, nearly jumped out of my seat when the bass came in. But lots of spaciousness coming through in my ether 2.
Try direct connection pc -> usb to m scaler, just as a debug route. It should work without issues.
If direct connection using usb works there is problem either with toslink cable (faulty, not inserted properly etc.) or with matrix ddc.
Definitely there is something with toslink/matrix ddc, signal is being interrupted, somehow sample rate is being changed (or signal being lost for fraction of a second) that's why you hear this nastiness.
I like them a lot as well, but I’m concerned about their weight and stiffness causing long term damage to the Dave and Blu’s BNC sockets. These are massively shielded cables that weigh a ton. When I moved my Chord setup to a secondary system, I went back to using the stock BNC cables. I’m listening to the secondary system only occasionally and it’s not as hypercritical for me as it was in my primary system.
Listening for the first time direct out to my compact alnico speakers, mavis staples, we get by.
First impressions you can feel it’s hitting the bass harder, but just absolutely stunning, spacious, separation, detail, emotion. Fantastic upgrade from tt2.
And I haven’t had a drink tonight lol, im so happy.
I wished there was a Display 5 setting so it would not illuminate each time the sample rates change or the playback is resumed. It would be ideal if it only illuminated when a button on the DAVE or remote was selected.

Actually I was considering getting one of the larger Altec A7 Voice of the Theater beasts. I’ve never owned gigantic horns and hey, you only live once! These also use super efficient horns and 15” cone woofers. I’m sure the Dave alone could drive them to crazily loud levels!

-10 volume is enough to produce 50-70 decibels at my listening position, on the sofa about 3 meters away from the speakers, it’s loud enough to enjoy it.
It’s measured as a “quiet room”, but satisfying ….

I can agree the Wave cables are stiff and heavy and some care is needed when connecting components, however if properly supported and secured I don't really think they place much pressure on the BNC connections of the Dave and Mscaler.
Of course if they were being regularly swapped in and out of a system there may be the potential to cause damage, so as with any other connection care should be taken, in fact I'm awaiting the arrival of a new pair of Storm cables to replace the Stream cables I've been using for the past 10 months.
Hopefully once I've swapped out the Stream for the Storm and have them supported and secured I won't have to touch them any time soon.

As far as I gathered, the necessity of supporting these cables arises not from the possibility of any damage to BLU/M Scaler and DAVE, but from the fact that the weight of the cables can damage the cables themselves if they are caused to bend too tightly.
The manufacturer says that the curvature of the cables as delivered in their box or pouch is the maximum recommended curvature to avoid damage to the shield, and advises that the cables be supported in some way.
Got the first batch of ac inlets ready for farad for the first lps dave systems. Made these first by hand he will probably will making the rest automaticly but these are artisan made by me, alot of patience by and hand finish work. First member here has ordered as set so hope he enjoys it soon.
And added the install manual for those who like to see upfront how that will go.

The local Borrensen/Aavik/Ansuz dealer was offering 30 day trial of all products. I got the Ansuz Sortz Supreme (the middle of 3 grades) for a trial. I put it into an RCA out of my Dave… Wowza! I am not a huge “tweaker.” I find most of them only marginal shifts. But this is truly component level change. It opened soundstage and changed the bass significantly. The bass is fuller, almost like a properly dialed in subwoofer was added. This difference is not subtle at all. I can and did hear it blind… worth a try for sure if your local dealer is offering free trial. I will be keeping mine for sure! Unbelievable. I am flabbergasted!
