Hello.
I've had the Chord DAVE as the main (often only) DAC in my main music system for more than two years now, and I continue to be delighted with the sound quality.
(For my ears, the DAVE bested both a Berkeley Alpha Reference and a Bricasti M1, among the other better DACs.)
That love of DAVE is why I hope to be among the first here in the States to snag a Hugo M-Scaler for my all-digital audio system. I understand they'll be here before year's end.
For now, I've been reading through the meat of this thread, with lots of great info.
And I've been reading the HMS manual.
That's where my first question comes up.
Look at the manual's section 4.2, which describes the various INPUT selection colors.
lt make sense other than the last one, the light blue one marked "Dual BNC" in the manual.
Of course, I know about the Dual BNC output on the HMS, which is how I'll connect the HMS to my DAVE.
But the Dual BNC input on the HMS? What device would that be at the server end?
Dave, who also wonders about using all three outputs at once with one going to the DAVE and the other two outputs to two other DACs and how that might affect sound quality through the prime connection
