Solo streamer

@rvpiano I’m back in business! Got the DAC. 
As to the CLM - I can hear slightly more open sound with the CLM off. This wasn’t the case with my Bricasti where I heard slightly lower noise floor with CLM enabled. 
The current DAC seems to prefer USB signal with CLM off. Go figure …

 Strange, isn’t it?

Yes. I still think it’s the DAC coping with noise. After listening with CLM off I enabled it again. I’ll do some more listening. It’s odd…

@audphile1 glad you have the DAC back. @rvpiano I turned CLM on when the N200 first arrived. Before break in was complete, it sounded better with CLM. Not so sure now. Using Ayre Codex DAC with Jenving Supra Ethernet and USB cables. CLM off is brighter/more extended. 

 I was also using CLM was to keep the display screen off. I've read stories of screens burning out. It is too far away to read anyway. There is another setting to deactivate the screen. 

Thanks,

Fortunately I can read the display from where I sit.
After much experimentation I find the sound definitely more open and enjoyable with CLM off ( and using the USB.). 
I don’t know why this is, either.
