Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible?
@erik_squires  if you don’t mind me asking, where did you get those test tracks? I just need something to send signal to left and right to ensure settings are aligned between Hermes and Pontus  
Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible?
Thanks @erik_squires. I do have the Ayre system burn in CD but that doesn’t do left and right channel test tones…  
Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible?
Thanks @audphile1 I have searched and haven’t found anything yet. Tried to reach out to Qobuz waiting for reply…   I’m assuming since CD player and Streamer will be connected to Hermes as long as I can get the test tones for either that would wo...

Roundabout! Great great call @bassbuyer  -live version from Classic Yes!  
Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!
@mesonto COMPLETELY agree. Would only add everything from Wilson Audio!  
The HARD ROCK & HEAVY METAL Thread Continued
Iron Maiden - "The Evil That Men Do" From Maiden England 88 Live. The greatest live metal song of all time. If listening to this doesn't get your juices racing then you need a pulse check!  
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 ...
