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!

Pinout 000 worked for me with Denafrips and left and right were fin as well as sound 1st shot out….

I questioned which clocks light need to be on in order to use the DDC clock which I’m assuming is better than the internal clock?

Denafrips has online manuals, I printed out my Gaia manual, it has pinout chart which I've matched up with both my Laiv Harmony and Musetec 006. As for internal vs external clock, internal clock in Gaia far superior to both my dacs, sync and asynch available on both dacs, sync means using ddc clock, this only available with I2S connection.

@bobbyloans ​​​​@sns Thank you! I’m really hoping the 000 will work first try and I won’t have to play any further. So good to hear yours worked as well @bobbyloans which I2S cable are you using?

lol I just hooked it up last week and my friend who went to tubes gave me these. They’re good and I’ll find out. Post how you make out with the 000.  Curious if I just got lucky

Thanks @bobbyloans , going to tackle it later this afternoon. I will for sure post. Hopefully I get lucky as you did. My cable is DH Labs 2.1. It specifies I2S, so I’m hoping that it’s a quick marriage😬😂
