Will be a loong time before 2nd hands hit the market.. but im not buying unheard so next year probably

They mentioned £12k (pounds) Thats $15,24k on current exchange rate..

This is interesting indeed, one could ditch crossover filters in speakers. I would then really like to also see phase shifting options to align the speaker drivers 😃 One also needs two DAC's to feed the signals. But i think the outputs are hardware circuit bound together by a multiplexer chip

What The ear.net posted about it with their price guess:

One more interview: So it shows the incoming samplerate on display.. @Rob Watts does (or can you make) it also show the bit depth of the source?

Make this a suggestion for @Rob Watts for if its not in there. He can still implement some functions before it gets frozen with the release. Perhaps we should create a wishlist

Dmn How can i edit a fogotten quote in a mssg 😑

Nick was one of, according to Rob's earlier post, 'select audiophiles' that had a listen on speakers with him?

John Darko was there too.. Skip to about 10:20 of the clip New fact: Quartet has a 10 band EQ 😀

Just love to see more people getting their ears on my mods and creating them for their own. Its no longer just my words saying what i hear :) https://www.head-fi.org/threads/my-choral-housed-chord-mscaler.964931/post-18128226

It was fun to help you getting and assemble everything! And be shure to try those 60's redbook albums i gave you 😎 they will transport you right to recording scene 🎧

Above new Dave's price as said.

😂

Why such hate and complaints about Dave's controls.. they cant ever do it right. I couldnt care less if theyre not labeled, the display is low resolution, it has more inputs than i need. If you dont like it , sell it and never look back. I like the technical reasoning behind its display, even...

I Found a short Munich impression on this Japanese site: https://www.phileweb.com/sp/news/audio/202405/12/25326.html Ive put it through a translator giving this result: Upscaler aimed at further improving of the transients The code featured upscaler and enhanced power supply that further...

Thx! I see its a DSD, try a PCM version maybe too

You have a better example?

I noticed that too. USB out would mean any other DAC brand could then benefit from full upscaling.

I like that John now pre- anounces coming products instead of keeping dead silent or mysterious until release..

Quartet scaler seems to have a DBNC input, but its not wise to put 768k from Blu2 in it, as the Quartet would just pass the bits through unprocessed i think.. imo its best to go with @SoupRKnowva suggestion. Futher.. Dave has two DBNC inputs so you can connect both Quartet and Blu2 side by side...

Remember inside the Chord DAC she signal is being further upsampled all the way to 104Mhz before it hits the pulsearray.. 705.6/768 is only the transport frequency (1st stage WTA1) into the DAC wherein its further processed.

It would be 2 for shure as it operates at 768k Also see 2 in use on the prototype.

If it rains taps.. that could be a problem😂

Rob explained also (its in the films) that he fathomed a mystery regarding the windowing function of his WTA. The boundaries in which the sync function is finited. I think it means he potentially can make every tap more efficient, and a small change cummulated to millions can bring a massive...
