..means?

Means I deleted it I didn't see the code description and first thought DC L = Low power from the DC power block.

After a spell in hospital and everyday seeming like an expedition to Everest it's feels good to be on the mend and skimming the pages of headfi again.

GLAD to hear you are o.k. If it was COVID, it's especially good to have you back.

Guys the dac Chord Hugo tt2 buzzes, and shows me DC L. The problem occurred as soon as I unplugged my headphones. Do you have any idea?

Damn, I wouldn't like to be in your shoe's, as you will probably have to send your TT2 back to chord to see what the problem is.

Either that or buy a topping

I have accepted that I have to send it to the dealer for repair. Unfortunately..

Topping? What amir says?

Get your dealer to fix your TT2, and don't buy a topping. Well I wouldn't buy one if I was in your shoe's, I'd just wait and when you get it back, the sweeter it will be.

Maybe if you used the correct password for Mancode

But I did not intend to buy anything else! I really like the sound of tt2. And in fact at the end of the month Sep. I will also order Mscaler.

But I do not hide from you that I was quite sad ..

That's bad luck. I'm guessing that you disconnected all digital inputs and the fault still stayed? Have you emailed Chord support for anything they can suggest?

 

[Triode User]

Thanks for the update. I would wait till an updated DAVE with a built in mscaler comes to market. Until then you have a Hugo and an mscaler, right? Once you have tasted the mscaler magic, how can you possibly live without it?
The best of health to you.

You are surely just leading him astray. An updated Dave with an inbuilt Mscaler must be years away, if ever.

After a spell in hospital and everyday seeming like an expedition to Everest it's feels good to be on the mend and skimming the pages of headfi again. I still haven't decided whether to swap my chord stack for a dave. The main difference being that i could add an mscaler and new headphone to the dave next year. So the question is do i want to live without the mscaler for a year. I bought a mojo to use on a short trip away and it's amazing the price to performance factor but after careful comparison with the chord stack it started to sound quite thin and 2D which i suppose is expected for a difference in price of £7K. Beyers new 3rd gen T1 looks very interesting too.

Hi MK, sorry about your hospital stay but pleased you are on the mend.

Yes, I have disconnected all digital inputs and the problem remains. I spoke with Mr. Rob and told me it should be sent to the dealer for service.

As long as the fault is described in the manual, what can I assume? that it is known and easily repairable?

Probably best not to overthink it. It will be a slight pain whilst it is away but it will be fixed or replaced. Perhaps you could pressure your dealer for a loan unit whilst it is away even if they can't loan you an exact replacement?

Τriode It would be a solution, but for the time being I have not raised such an issue.
Of course I have an alternative Dac, that of my integrated Mcintosh amplifier.

What I'm afraid of is whether the sound performance of the Chord tt2 will change after the repair.
I would not like that to happen ..

Never underestimate Chord. DAVE is quite old as far as dacs are concerned and it does not seem to be updateable.
