I totally agree. I would totally upgrade my car audio system with a Chord DAC product. I do worry some car systems run on class D amps though.If only chord have something for in car use

davina?
I thought exactly the same but not sure the thing can run properly without an amp...I'm wondering if I can set this up as a purist DAVE desktop system...
I would as well but I would want dsp and time alignment capabilities for the inherently hostile acoustic environment in a car.I totally agree. I would totally upgrade my car audio system with a Chord DAC product. I do worry some car systems run on class D amps though.
I think there were a handful of posts in the Mojo thread, by owners who connected their Mojos into their car systems. Even phone>Mojo>cable into the line-in of the car stereo, was said to improve the sound, so just think what a proper chord car stereo could do.If only chord have something for in car use

None?Is anyone running DAVE into Anthony Gallo Strada 2 with TR-3d?
I'm thinking that RCA out on DAVE can go direct to Strada 2 and XLR out can go to the line-in inputs on the TR-3d. DAVE would be driving the Strada 2 "full range" in this setup with the crossover on the TR-3d only affecting the bass integration by manipulating the subwoofer's "crossover frequency" and level.
Page 10 of the TR-3d manual:
https://www.roundsound.com/manuals/TR3D Instruction Manual.pdf
seems to specify this as the "default" configuration for TR-3d + Strada 2. (The alternative is to feed amplifier output into the "HIGH LEVEL IN" inputs in parallel with the cables that are connected to Strada 2 - again, the music being fed to Strada 2 is full range.)
So then the question is whether 2W from DAVE into this system is enough for a "desktop" system? The TR-3d subwoofer has a power amp to drive the bass driver, so DAVE doesn't seem to have to supply much power in the bass, since Strada 2 rolls off at 68Hz.
I was deeply impressed by voices on TR-3d + Strada 2 in a shop demo and I'm wondering if I can set this up as a purist DAVE desktop system...
Now playing: Leif Vollebekk - Tallahassee
Sometime later this summer I plan to borrow them and the subwoofer for a week. I also plan to get a set of cables made specifically for DAVE. I will then compare with an integrated amp I still have from the 1980s (45W per channel) to see what extra power brings to the party.None?
The more I read about these Strada 2the more they look like a very good match for Dave.
Despite their 90dB sensitivity it looks like the manufacturer suggests 10W amplification power, so a bit far from Dave.
I'm super new to Roon. But why has my Chord Dave been recognised by Roon as a Chord Qutest? xD
