Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible?


Hi, All,

I recently posted about adding a DDC to my DAC (Pontus II 12th, Hermes). I know I need to sync the 2 to make sure I have the right settings. My question is does anyone know if I can rust test tones through Qobuz?

 

If not what is the best, simplest way to access test tones through my streamer or CD player even as I will have both running through the Hermes (CD via Coax, streamer via USB)?

 

Thanks, All!

@rick_n  Thank you! Great info😊

 

@audphile1 Thanks for following up my friend😊. Hermes just arrived this afternoon. Waiting until tomorrow to introduce to the system. Because any time I need to add anything it is a project due to space constraints in my ent ctr and around it. SOOOO not looking forward to it🤦🏼‍♂️🔫. Just hoping Pontus and Hermes click immediately after the handshake. Though from just watching Alvin from Vinshine’s video in connecting the 2 it seems it’s more about the HDMI/I2S cable. That’s why I went with the DH Labs 2.1 as it actually specifies its I2S compatible…

I will follow up and post here after I’m up (hopefully😩😂) and running…

Thanks so much @mapman! This is great! Seems like I’m safe as kittens getting what I need through Qobuz which is awesome because I really didn’t want to have to connect my laptop to my system..,

 

One other question for All. Right now I have 3 different components connected to Pontus:

 

Eversolo Streamer via USB

ELITE CD carousel via Coax

Brennan B2 via Toslink

obviously I just reroute all 3 via same connections from Pontus to Hermes? Then just toggle between the 3 via Hermes?

Cool…everything should work just fine…good luck! And DH Labs makes great cables. You should be set

If you are trying to test the I2S connection from DDC to DAC, you can download test tones from this link:
