I should have added that some of the albums on Bandcamp cost as little as $1.00!! Plus you can buy cassettes, vinyl and artist merchandise. I believe a good proportion of the proceeds go straight to the artist/band. You can see how much has been given to the artist/band on the home page. And...

Thanks for the information!

A source of good quality music 16 or 24 bit is a site called "Bandcamp". I bought a VNV Nation album "Resonance" in 24/88khz and it sounds magnificent. However unlike the majority of their albums, this one was done with an orchestra. And a lot of older albums by various artists are on this site...

I think the optical cable is limited to 48khz, so if you have files higher i.e 24/96 then you will not hear the music at its best. Or have I got that wrong?!

Hi, I was looking around for high res music for my DAVE when I found this interesting site: https://samplerateconverter.com/educational/dsd-music It contains a nice table of different web sites offering high resolution music. I will probably download some samplers to see how they sound on...

Hi, Done it! I selected WASAPI (push) : digital output (Chord Async USB 44.1-768Khz) and everytime I change album, the bit rate now changes. What a great site this is!!! And I have proved to myself that you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Well I have been using Foobar2000 today. I downloaded some components and ended up freezing the programme! Uninstalled and re-installed Foobar2000 and now the DAVE is showing 96KHz all the time! However the music is sounding very good! Forecast is for a storm tomorrow, so I will have plenty of...

Thank you all so much for your wonderful responses. I forgot that I had foobar on my laptop. So, I tried it and the bit rate showed as 48khz which was an improvement on 44.1! Then played Steve Wilson (hand cannot erase) which is 96khz however foobar was still showing 48Khz! Tomorrow I will...

Thank you for the reply, I will have a go and see what happens. regards Gideon

Thanks for your reply. I will have a look through the windows set-up. I thought downloading the Chord driver would have been enough! I might try another player like JRiver or or Jet audio. Tell you what, I am surprised about is the ease in which DAVE plays different types of music. Today I...

Hi, Sorry that I am very late to the DAVE party......but I have finally managed to get one! I still have not worked out why my wife said YES! Could be a silly question coming up: When I use the DAVE through the USB lead the Bit rate does not change. For example playing VNV Nation Resonance it...

Hi,   Has anyone compared the Mayflower Objective 2/ODAC Revision B to the Chord Mojo?   I appreciate that the mojo is more portable, but I was thinking of getting a DAC for the office/home.   Regards, 

Hi,   Perhaps you should consider buying a cheapish DAP and then buy the Chord Mojo to make it sound fantastic! 

Hi,   Just bought my first High Resolution album - Resolution by VNV Nation!   Sounds fantastic on my Cownon Plenue 1. It is a shame that they are only doing this album live in Germany.   I downloaded the album from Bandcamp, excellent music site for fans and artists.   I am hoping more...

I am glad your headphones arrived ok. I have not bought from that site yet, so it is good to know that it is a genuine site. I think I will try and get a listen to these headphones before forking out so much money!   Regards   Gideon

Hi, this site is advertising them for £2129 which I thought was not bad!   https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/media-conversion-equipment/shure-kse1500-electrostatic-earphone-system?gclid=Cj0KEQjw5MGxBRDiuZm2icXX2-sBEiQA619bqxGIAkjFG4K0aGVxcTD1cNK8m2QbrVvOz4QD2FmXccgaAlmS8P8HAQ
