The point of davina is how to reduce a 768/24 bit recording to 44.1/16 and keep the musicality..... I think... but rob watts to answe this better
i have schiit Wyrd, i didn't use it on DAVE yet. so since i use PC as a source, will Wyrd help me with DAVE? or i should go with iFi iPower?? or both can't be used with DAVE?
planing to get sonore microRendu + UltraCap LPS-1 combo at some point.
yet if my Wyrd is usable or could help to clean the signal that would help. i didn't use it because i wanted to ask here first, just in case, or go with iFi iPower as a first step before i buy the "sonore microRendu + UltraCap LPS-1" combo.
Thanks in advance.
Since no one responded, I will give my 2 cents worth
Given that you already have the Dave, I would put my resources to getting the microRendu + LPS-1. This combo is the best of the lot mentioned.
waterlily acoustics, Mahler 5 conducted temirkanov imho is native dsd recording by a single stereo mic.

@Christer, you are right about that waterlily recording. that was one of the digital recordings done by them. before that they used a tape system with single stereo mic in blumlein arrangement. I have few of those earlier recordings like a meeting by the river, tabula rasa, saltanah . all these are more of fusion music so not for everyone. but these recordings are one of the finest example of most natural recordings done through a minimalistic arrangements by their engineer kavi alaxander . another two labels known for minimalistic arrangements are opus 3 records and reference recordings . I recently came across an acoustic music recording of Doug MacLeod by reference recordings. the recording is done through a single stereo mic and the performers sat around the mic in a circle for the recording. you could clearly feel the voice of Doug wavering in the soundstage as he moved his head , such is the natural feel.
Wow!
I just don't get posts like this. Clearly the poster hasn't heard the DAVE and it's not the first time they've spoken nonsense about Chord gear. In the same thread they mention the Mojo's D-S glare. Rubbish if you ask me.

Anyway, Happy New Year to all the DAVE owners and a special Happy New Year to Rob and John! Looking forward to 2017!
Hi all,
I know I'm the new guy and I'm probably gonna get shot down to oblivion with this question, but can we put all the Davina questions into its own thread and out of this one? I just got my Chord DAVE, and I LOVE it, but looking for information in this thread is impossible with all of the off topic comments.
Thanks, and happy new year to you all! I learned a lot by reading most of the comments on this thread. I would love some how-to's about settings from anyone else here if they have any!
The problem is, in my experience many purist recordings are musically vapid. For me, the quality of the music and the performance always comes first. I'd rather listen to music rather than a recording, though I can see that engineers might view things differently.
Anybody knows a good contact to check on the price of a new Dave? Would you pm me some numbers?
Thanks
