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!

Or do I do it on Pontus? Or should Pontus be left totally alone at this point?

@fthompson251 I just unplugged and plugged Hermes back in. So how Faldo I proceed to listen to Elite CD player which is connected via Coax In on Hermes? I’m assuming the Toslink and Coax should be on Digital In on Hermes, not Digital out correct?

Yes, you leave Pontus on I2s. You use the Hermes as the input selector, I have USB, AES/UBU and Coaxial connected to my Hermes.  Yes digital input connections to Hermes. You do have to get out of your chair to change inputs on Hermes if you want to change the source. Just push the appropiate button. Enjoy, let me know 

Thank you @fthompson251. I just started another thread about this. I’m in desperation mode😂

 

Ok, so USB (Streamer)

Coax (CD player)

Toslink (CD rippper)

 

All 3 direct to Hermes in

 

Set Pontus to I2S and leave Pontus alone. Then just toggle on Hermes for the 3 different units?

GOT IT!! Cannot thank you enough @fthompson251! If you’re ever in the NH area dinner and drinks on me my friend🥂! All 3 playing like a charm. Now it’s break in time for Hermes!…😊😊😊

Sincerest thanks to All who took the time to respond and help! Life is good again😂😊
