This has been discussed here extensively. Rob Watts explicitly said not to bother with LPS for the TT2, although some people apparently have a positive experience with LPS feeding the Mscaler.

Do I remember correcly that using any other than Chord’s charger will void the warranty? Worth taking that into consideration.

Asked this once of my dealer and he said they can order it for me.

Yes, i believe it states so in the manual

According to several folks on head-fi Facebook, all you need is a Qutest with a linear power supply, and then it will sound just as good as the HMS/TT2 pairing, maybe even better when you add an M Scaler.

I know who your talking about. Just ridiculous. was shaking my head while reading it.

DJJEZ, it’s really astounding to read how some folks have re-invented the wheel, discovered electricity, achieved manned space flight, solved world hunger, and also saved a couple thousand semolians along the way, just by plugging a $359 aftermarket linear power supply into a $1500 DAC. If only I had known.

Yes, and I forgot to post the pic here. Thanks for reminding me.



It has been interesting going between the Hugo 2, TT2, and TT2/MS. The usual cliché of revisiting all one's previously adored music and discovering new stuff applies here. Despite the slight compromise in detail retrieval, I like it as a source for the Studio Six, given the slightly increased sense of "body" to the music it provides. I knew that getting these in for review would ruin me and they have.

Yet, I am still able to enjoy the Yggdrasil/Studio Six combination with most music. It's the "golden" music, the stuff that has endless layers of depth and nuance that the Chord combo brings the most out of. I was listening to some Ella Fitzgerald, as well as the usual Jazz in the Pawnshop and a few other of the great classic jazz numbers and the "holy chit" factor was definitely there. Not quite the music-injected-into-my-bloodstream feeling of the DAVE, but almost.

Time to ditch that trusty Hugo 2 you have in your setup and replace it with these bad boys. Love your vids and thanks for engaging here.

Susvara with a good speaker amp.

Then we must understand that HTT2 is unable to properly drive the Susvara?????

XLR outs are fine for the Susvara. If you want a heavier bass presentation, then you can consider a speaker amp.

Are you keeping the etude in your setup then?

For now, but you'll probably see it listed for sale before long. I'm more interested in trying different amps than finding THE ONE.

ra990, I’ve got an old Marantz 100w stereo amplifier from my college days somewhere around here. It has two 1/4 inch hp jacks, and you could connect four speakers to it. And, it was wired to play 8-track tapes in quadraphonic sound. Do you think that it could drive the Susvara’s?
