Im playing around with a €15 little Savitech BravoHD with SA9227 USB driver chip to Spdif & Toslink. It does 384k like a charm. Ofc toslink goes as far as 192k. Skipping forth and back live while playing between coax and toslink makes no difference in SQ with Hms dual optical linked to Dave.

OptoDX comes as a set of TX and RX units. SRCDX is mostly used with software upsampling and to bypass a Chord DAC's USB chip.

Oh i tweaked my heart out.. just see the links in my signature 😄 For streamers theres plenty choces.. id say go with the most convenient interfaced one. I dont stream myself, ive made a player out of a thinclient PC with a ddc and foobar2k & Jriver MC with multiple remote apps on my...

Stick with Mscaler and keep your DAC isolated from noise imo preferably using optical. It eases your mind not to keep tweaking software parameters so you can enjoy the music :beyersmile:

I said it earlier.. Mscaler is hugely dependent on the source being bitperfect. Even a 1% software volume attenuation or dsp/eq breaks down its abillity to reconstruct PCM samples with good result. And imho really some tracks are so much digitally studio processed that Mscaler ..eg more taps...

Better go after OptoDX instead of SRC. Isolate your TT2 from noise.

If i hadnt found out the clarity my hd800 now gives with the inner sheets removed.. i would have gone D8000(pro) too.. The non pro has a more profound bass while the pro is brighter with wider soundstage.. closer to hd800

Thats why i love these optical inputs on my Dave :) to be best isolated. Then all inputs on Mscaler sound as good

Werent you going to visit a nearby electrician friend who could do the cap mods for you?

Not shure what youre trying to do.. A resistor in series with a speaker or headphone or parallel?

Welcome back!! 😁

Ive found another article on this Russian site: https://next-hifi.ru/obzory/new-4-million-taps-digital-processor-m-scaler-quartet/ And put it through a translator. Rob Watts is raising the bar Four million equations in the new M Scaler Quartet processor. At the Munich exhibition, Chord...

Ah found it was you who posted earlier this: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/chord-electronics-dave.766517/post-16409489

Considering 1v, 75A makes 75W. But im sure this much is only drawn on 4M and only while playing/processing.. like HMS

Rob means 75A current running inside of the combined circuits.

Dave set on DAC mode (hold left/right buttons simultaniously) sets its volume at -3dB and i believe that means 3v output. To get 2v it must be more like -5dB or so I remember someone posted a list once Edit: youre right with Blu also added you should do +3dB = -2dB

75A could never run through those thin wires he used on the proto.. 1mm2 wires would get burning hot.

I think the PSU outputs a higher voltage and each FPGA has its own DC-DC converter to 1v, just like the current Mscaler. DC-DC circuit direct on other side of FPGA

Perhaps a Topping D10(s) is worth looking at: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/topping-d10-balanced.25360/

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
