Hi cladane,
 
You will need a custom cable made that goes from the BAL 3.5mm TRRS of the RWAK120-B to the BAL 2.5mm TRRS input of the CDM.
 
Assuming your RWAK120-B has the 3.5mm TRRS, the pin out should be:
 
Tip = L+
Ring (1) = L-
Ring (2) = R+
Sleeve = R-
 
NOTE - This is different than what A&K and ALO use as the pin-out of their 2.5mm TRRS jack. 
 
But I'm sure ALO can make you the cable when the time comes.  They make really good 2.5mm TRRS cables, what I saw at SoCal CanJam last weekend!

Cdm input follows the ak system which is

T R R S
R- R+ L+ L-

well noted, sorry i read too quickly the post above...

After a quick update:
 

 
 
Thanks Tassadar, and sorry for the confusion!

Congrats. I'm pretty sure you'll like them. Don't forget those need to warm up first.

 

[tassardar]

Gratz! The cdm club!

 

[esteboune]

Thanks!

Next step : fully balanced!

 

[tassardar]

I prefer it unbalanced at time. The sound is different . I find balance a little brighter and lose some smoothness. So if vocals I quite prefer it to be SE.

I did a OTG micro USB to micro USB last night!
 
works well with Galaxy Tab S2 and Galaxy Note 5 !
 
i did a shorter cable as well, but the CDM get too much of interferences form the phone/tablet.
In "plane mode" it is fine, but no more Tidal, so almost pointless.

Thought competition for my desktop rig !!!
 
Arcam irDac -> Lyr 2 with Siemens CCA tubes
 

 

 

[tassardar]

The in built dac is actually pretty good. Not Hugo good but definitely able to displace many other dacs. The amp wise we all know it's pretty much desktop class . It just doesn't amplify as much volume.

Guys,
 
Running jriver 21 on osx 10.11 with CDM, the sound i get is choppy and drop off.
The LED keeps switching between white and blue.
 
Is there a new driver for osx 10.11?
 
Use to work well on jriver 20 on previous osx before upgrade to el capitan.

  As discussed a bit earlier in this thread (I believe) I ordered a cable from Luna Shops to allow me to play the CDM through HP's using a 4-pin XLR balanced cable (my LCD-3F's).

Just got the cable today and am using it to play my LCD's through the 2.5mm balanced output port of the CDM and it works great! Great cable for only $30, although it takes a while to get here from China. I also got one in 3.5mm TRRS for when my Geek Wave eventually shows up. 

Cheers

 
Shipping to Belgium only took just over a week. The cable has good build quality but is extremely hard to connect to Neutrik plugs, I doubt it will last long

Last email I received Cmedia thinks "We suspect is the USB3.0 driver not updated."
 
I am not quit e sure about this, I am awaiting more info..

Hey Ken - and everybody.  Good news on Mac support!
 
Installed the latest OS (El Capitan) and, like others have reported, it's seemed to fixed the Mac connection issue.  Now, the CDM is seen right away by the OS.
 
Just told Vinnie in person yesterday at RMAF... will try to find you and tell you today in person, too.

I have an older Mac mini that I am using. Will it recognize the DAC on the CDM ?
