Has anyone seen any indications that the chip shortage is starting to impact supply chains for audio gear like servers and DACs?
hmmm, well that definitely seems like a pretty solid indication. Fingers crossed that it will come soon.currently at 6 weeks waiting for my TT2 to be made lol
There's probably a shortage of chips because Bill Gates has bought them all for the COVID-19 vaccine.Has anyone seen any indications that the chip shortage is starting to impact supply chains for audio gear like servers and DACs?
Thanks for the reply. I have been experimenting with both, exclusive and otherwise. Appears, for me anyway, Qobuz appears a little louder and cleaner. Tidal is a bit darker/smoother. Harder to compare when in exclusive mode because have to turn one off before turing the other on. But it still seems pretty apparent.Which platform are you using them on? Are you operating both in exclusive mode? If not, it is possible the volume slider is playing a role. Also make sure neither has sound normalization enabled. Finally, just make sure you are comparing the same mastering. The easiest thing to do would be to just pick a newer album that’s never been remastered.
I’ve not heard a significant difference between the two on iOS or BluOS.
EDIT: I may recall a difference between master and hifi in tidal. IIRC master may be a bit quieter for some songs. I’ve been listening on hifi only as of late, so that could be what you are hearing
*cough* Anyone?I believe the fixed DAC output is 2.5V single ended. Is it the same for balanced? What volume setting equates to approx 2V when using XLR?
On the TT2, Pin 1 is ground, pin 2 is hot, pin 3 is cold.*cough* Anyone?
Also, is pin 2 hot? Just wondering if I should invert the phase on my amp.
Thanks
How are you feeding that to the tt2? Optical?Just bought a Naim uniti core as source and cd ripper, now my music listening system is complete, this machine is simply amazing, easy to use, with great SQ!!!
Now my system:
PC(tidal) > iGalvanic > Hugo tt2 > HD800s
Naim Uniti Core > Hugo tt2 > HD800s
I have a Naim Core also, it only has a BNC out. Unless you are asking about his laptop?How are you feeding that to the tt2? Optical?
I connect them with a naim DC1 bnc cable.How are you feeding that to the tt2? Optical?
You can connect both headphone and speaker amps which has xlr inputs to the rear xlr on TT 2.Thinking about getting a Niimbus US4+ (whenever they become more available) or Formula S/powerman to use as a separate amp.
Is the RCA the only way to do this, or can the TT2 feed an amp via the rear XLR3 or is this just for speakers (and headphones *cough* Abyss)?
