| Should I add a DDC? Thanks @dz13 as both are DENAFRIPS they are compatible. Just have to find the right combo. That’s the only thing I’m concerned about. But there is a video from Alvin at Vinshine and he sent it to me detailing how to find the right combo. @jast... | |
| Should I add a DDC? Thanks All, very helpful! Thank you again @jastralfu I was going to ask where can I get the test tones? I'd have to play them through my streamer, correct? I will have Eversolo to Hermes via USB then HDMI from Hermes to Pontus. Where can I get the... | |
| Should I add a DDC? @fthompson251 Thanks man! Appreciate the support. If I get the undistorted music, why is it necessary to do the test tones as well? | |
| Should I add a DDC? @jastralfu thank you! So yours worked first time? You didn’t have to play with the settings? So hope that will be the case for me.. @audphile1 I read a review that specifically stated that going this route is still less costly than bumping u... | |
| Should I add a DDC? Thanks again @sls883. Apparently even though both will be DENAFRIPS you still have to adjust settings on both units using I2S. Weird. At least I can use his video as a guide while doing it. And apparently not all HDMI cables will work, Alvin menti... | |
| Should I add a DDC? Thanks for the info @sls883. I just measured and I think I can get by with .75m. However that only saves $15. Going to research that length thing some more before I commit… Did you have to play with settings between your DDC and DAC by going I... | |
| Should I add a DDC? @jastralfu have you any info on the length of the HDMI/I2S cable between DAC and DDC? Any truth that this should be kept under 1m? | |
| Should I add a DDC? @sls883 Funny you mention the length of the cable. I just read something today where it is recommended to use <1m HDMI between DAC and DDC. Seems kind of crazy that that short of a length is recommended. Bizarre as I’ve always heard longer is ... | |
| Should I add a DDC? @sls883 Glad to help! The crazy thing is I literally just got my final price request from The Cable Co yesterday, on the DH Labs power cable and HDMI cable. Was ready to pull the trigger today until I saw the email from DH Labs this morning! Crazy... | |
| Should I add a DDC? Thank you again, All. Always appreciate folks time and advice😊 @sns thank you for the word of caution. This is why I’m doing quite a bit of research and reading many reviews. I actually posted a while back about is there a point at which we ov... | |
| Should I add a DDC? @painter24, this would be my fault. Apologies my friend😬 | |
| Should I add a DDC? Thanks again @jastralfu, yup, trying for once to take the pain of the cost up front vs repackaging, taking pics, and selling the Iris down the line. I’ve always ended up in this position, so this time I’ll take the pain of the cost up front to get... | |
| Should I add a DDC? Rear its ugly head-Freudian slip😂😂. God do I wish it would rest it’s ugly head😂 | |
| Should I add a DDC? Have been doing a ton of research and it does appear the Hermes would be best with the Pontus. Hate spending that much though🤦🏼♂️. But I know me and if I go for Iris the upgrade disease will rest its ugly head. It hasn’t stopped yet so why would ... | |
| Should I add a DDC? Thank you @painter24 . I did not want to spend that much for Hermes. So, you’re using the Iris with the Pontus? |
