Anyone find it dumb that one has to use the Remote to put Dave on standby and also to get it out of standby? ...

If i switch Dave off using the backswitch i get a 'pop' through my HP. Standby doesnt do that

Was listening to the Final A800 today out of Dave + Farad3 and noticed that all the sibilance is gone. Much smoother but lost a bit of the edge. I can see this combo working well with Headphones on the edge of sibilance. Waiting for my new cable so haven't tested the LCD5 too much but noticed EQ was no longer needed as it subdued the harshness one can get from too much energy in the mid range.
Edit: Planning to get a 100% silver cable for the IEM as well.

What cable are you waiting for for the LCD5? I just got an LCD5 to use with DAVE and was intending to use the front jack.
Solo Dave can power the LCD5. No issues. Good combo.
I'm waiting for an adapter so I can use Lavricables Grand silver cable.

Guess you are still in the honeymoon period with DAVE and like to touch it. I always use remote to control everything. Congratulations for your happy purchases of DAVE and LCD-5.
Yup. LOL. I have it as my desk setup. Arm length away.

I have a solution! Don’t bother putting it in standby.
I just leave my Dave powered up 24/7.
I leave it on as well. Just sometimes want it on standby if I’m not using for a while. No issues. Just think it should be possible without remote.
Does your Dave run cooler as well with DC4?
Do you know the power consumption of Dave in idle and in stand by? I always turn it off at the back and also would like to have a standby knob on the unit.
I don't use the remote - I have no idea where it is - but now you mention it...
Putting it in standby and then the dog chewing the remote would be a real problem, especially if after going into standby a restart results in the DAVE still being in standby.
DAVE definitely runs cooler on the Farads, that I can say.
Getting those fiery voltage regulators in the smps out of the case definitely helps with that.
Not sure what you guys mean, I travel with Dave without the remote, when I turn the switch on the back it just turns on, out of standby. I assume using another power supply would result in the different behavior you're describing.I don't use the remote - I have no idea where it is - but now you mention it...

Restarting out of standby is the necessary safety mechanism to stop the DAVE becoming a brick in this way
I've never used the remote or standby so I never put it to the test.
This is what I've done since day one as well

Great minds think alike but fools seldom differ!
