That would be strange, but easy to check. If you have apple tv on 1 and msc does not play on opt 2 for pc input you could pull the apple connection and check if it is active.

Looked at my 2 apple tvs but neither has an opticsl output.

I bought an HDMI splitter to give me an optical output to HMS

pull the optical cable out of HMS, the one between it and your splitter and look if there is red light. If you see it, then the splitter might be outputting signal even when apple tv is in sleep mode.

I have some CD's and only way to enjoy them are either getting mk2 or HMS and adding a CD player...what CD player has anyone used as transport that works best for HMS?

Again asking same question...anyone use a cdplayer...

I don't have a HMS - yet... - but this audiophile has a high-end setup and uses a Cambridge Audio CXC CD transport:

That is what I was trying to point out: Not oscillating does not mean more stable, it can be the opposite.
Even assuming perfect (no error) multimeter, it still needs to round or truncate the value to the available decimal places.
So again the same examples I gave:
1. PSU 1 real analog value oscillates between 15.134 and 15.136 (a 0.02 delta). The minimum will round to 15.13 and the maximum will round to 15.14, so your multimeter will oscillate between those two values.
2. PSU 2 real analog value oscillates between 15.196 and 15.204 (a 0.08 delta). Both the minimum and maximum will round to 15.20, so the multimeter will display a steady 15.20 value.

So you see how PSU 2 that oscillates 4x more, show a steady digital value,
while PSU1 which oscillates 4 times less does display oscillating digital value.

Ah rb, thanks for that very interesting info...one learns something new all the time in this hobby of ours lol! But as we're still assuming just what might be going on re. min and max values/truncating, I suppose the whole thing is rather academic lol . And whatever, those readings would seem to indicate nothing much to worry about anyway...especially as both PSs do the job without any obvious detrimental effects .

I have a Cyrus CD XT Signature transport and it works via HMS into a BNC input but I have only used it very briefly into HMS. I always use my Innuos Zenith Mk 3 music server instead, running Roon.
HTH,

I also use the cxc, running a supra optical cable. Very happy with it.

I buy classical boxes with 10-60 cds and I am too lazy + roon is bad at both classical and handling boxes.

Very interesting video THGM...thanks. And for me personally, as I daren't open up my Naim Uniticore server/player with its own internal CD drive that copies to its SSD drive - and a tremendous job it makes of it! - to see what's what, I liked his finishing remarks re. digital cable...ie. a lower capacitance being preferable, and vindicating the results I mentioned previously concerning my unorthodox alternative to conventional coax cables....

Just watched a new video of Terry from Pursuitperfectsystem discussing power supplies as some on here are considering a sean jacobs to power HMS it may be worth a watch first where he mentions the 200 watt £300 jcat in comparison.

Teac 10, toslink, dac component is disable.

Look for cd or transport with toslink.

Mbl 1621 is one of the world best, worked very well with chord dac64 II during my crazy day.
