That way, most of the noise picked up by the USB cable will be removed. use a USB cable into jitterbug, and then a very short UBS extension, from Jitterbug to DAC. However it would make more sense to put the Jitterbug at the DAC end. Something else occurred to me just recently.

(I still have an optical cable from my PC to TT2 connected all the time.) Although I am generally using USB from PC. For my most recent PC build, I absolutely made sure I bought a motherboard with optical. Then clean coaxial to go on to the DAC.(Claimed brightness coming from the M-Scaler.) That's going from perceived noisy coaxial from M-Scaler, to optical to cure noise and brightness.

Someone even recently posted on the M-Scaler thread about this very process. At least or rather I should say, with chord DACs, since Chord clock the incoming samples accurately. Optical is clean, and needs no more 'sorting out'. However I can't see how there could be a problem. Will test further once Diamond Optical arrives, but with the cables I have atm I prefer the smsl x-usb xmos u208 to xmos u8 (much brighter) and pc optical port I have heard some criticism of PCI-E cards on PC that convert to optical. Right now I'm using USB port from PC to power the Qutest, and optical for audio, wondering if going to a galvanic solution, like Intona, or maybe a PCI express card like Matrix Element H will improve sound.Īfter trying several optical sources to Qutest found that all of them sound different, no clue how thats even possible, maybe the optical connector, or extra jitter added. So I've got another brand, Promate, and sound was closer to stock psu, but still too bright for my taste. With other DAC's the micro iUSB 3.0 is amazing, but not with Chord, at least not in my system.Īlso not all battery power banks sound the same powering Qutest, tried with a Asus one, while amazing for charging devices, for Qutest it sounded worse then stock psu, sound was so much brighter. And sure usb cables make a difference, but even with better cables it was still horrible. Same results here, in the past I've tried Ifi Micro iUSB 3.0 with Hugo 2 and DAVE, it made both of them sound exactly like you are describing. It's because the processor is still running, while it's on stand-by. The TT2 does still have an effect on my PC even when on stand-by. Does anyone know if this is a fault? Or is this OK. Normally when I start up the PC and maybe go to YouTube it will play anything I send to it. I was not expecting the sampling rate light to go out. I was not expecting to have to restart the Qutest. I know Rob has said that you can leave the Qutest on all the time. However I think this is incorrect behaviour. I looked in the port window and noticed that there was no sampling rate light. I could not get sound, and after looking at settings and whatever I could think of. The second time (after I had been out for a walk) the Qutest did not register the PC. I normally unplug the Qutest overnight, but left it plugged in for maybe two days. However unplugging the USB and plugging it back in, didn't work. I'd like to think that it's what you say, though, that Chord said. It talks to the PC even when in stand-by. The TT2 is only ever in stand-by or on, if it is plugged in. Like the TT2 entry in Sound Control Panel, is always there, whether the TT2 is on or off. I think the PC gets confused by having two Chord products, when one get unplugged. After a couple of 'Default resets' and a couple of reboots, I had the Qutest back. Clicking make one or the other default, for a while didn't fix the Qutest issue. However those entries got swapped over somehow. (The second entry started of as 2 Chord Async, but then not known why jumped to 5.) The entry for the Qutest or Hugo 2 or Mojo, says Digital Output - 5 Chord Async. For the entry that runs my TT2, it's just Digital Output - Chord Async etc. Since I have two DACS on my desktop, I can often see two Chord entries in the Sound panel. On my PC in Sound control panel, I noticed something a bit odd. This sort of assured me that the Qutest was fine, probably. Going back to PC there was still no sound. I connected it to the Qutest and the Qutest was immediately fine. I have a Sony DAP, and I an connect it to my Hugo 2, via an OTG cable. However I figured try another device on the USB input. I tried Qutest reboots and was thinking I had been sold a faulty Qutest. When it first happened I rebooted the Qutest and it was OK.
