I believe John said its just the name of the unit. The multibox unit could be the Ulima DAC.

I think Quartet hints to the use of 4 FPGA's
And possible 4 Mtaps..

That would also mean a possible delay of 4x ~0,6s = 2,4 sec.

But we'll might see in Munich show.

I think you're right, 4 FPGAs, 4 Million taps, it will be expensive . Your pockets are going to cry .

It was all a bit jumbled and it might be that the Quartet scaler gets a separate power supply or it might be the Ultima DAC gets it!

The main thrust seems to be that the Quartet will make the Dave sound (even more) amazing and give delight to existing Dave owners.

Could it be that the Quartet name comes from a Quartet formed by Dave, Dave new power supply, Quartet, Quartet power supply? Just wildly guessing.

For those interested, I've listed my M Scaler for sale, delivery anywhere: https://www.head-fi.org/classifieds/chord-m-scaler-silver-excellent-condition.62988/

I've had a great run with my TT2, but I've got a Holo May itch that needs scratched (and paid for!)

 

[dac64]

my humble suggestion. before we make any signification upgrade, >10K, considering this first https://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/audio_visual/speaker_systems/ns-5000/index.html

If these pairs of speakers were made by Euro/UK/US companies, they will ask three or four times more.

Don't dismiss a second hand Dave. That is what I bought after selling a Holo May L2 . . . .

Otherwise wish you well with the sale.

Thanks Nick, but I'm looking to try out an R2R to go with an incoming Formula S. Second-hand Dave may well be in the future though
Your cables are stunning, btw.

Female DC jack, a cap, male DC jack.
That between MS and its PS for a little DC buffer. Anybody tried?

An uncompromising power supply designed by Rob would be very interesting, who knows what characteristics the Dave will take on.......

 

[jcn3]

my understanding is that the three pieces are the DAVE, the Quartet, and the power supply for the Quartet.

 

[stemiki]

The "Ultima DAC" should be in a very large case. But in my opinion it will be on sale next year or in 2026. It is assumed of course..

If there is a separate power supply for the Quartet…maybe it could power the MScaler!

Can you elaborate on why you sold the Holo May and then went with the DAVE? Given what I heard from the May I think I know why, but would love to hear your impressions.

Really? I doubt he is an expert in power supply. The power supply of Dave is $10 off the shelf. And he says it is perfectly fine. Any modifications of Dave power supply is worse. But everyone tried other Dave power supply solutions tell him otherwise.

Bixpower arriving tomorrow to try on mscaler. If there is no change it can probably be a backup for a cpap.
