I guess I agree that via the Uptone 7 volts sounds BAD.
Via the Keces P8 power supply 7 volts has to do as I can’t change it now that I ordered it that way.
Edit: I see today is my one year anniversary of joining in here. It feels more like nine months, two weeks and three days.
I use the SBooster at 5v . I tried it at 6v and 6.5 but it sounds better in my system at 5v.
I’m back to 9.
Fool of a Took!
(I don’t think the Matrix was actually pulling 5 from my supply.)
(so for me the choice is 7 or 9)
Have you any slices of Anniversary cake left?
You could always ket a Revelation Audio Lab Two headed USB-A cord separate power and data to power off the USB-A out on Keces P8 To the combined USB-B end versus using the 6 to 9 V power input.
Just have to wait for Brad to not send it until you threaten him or buy on used market. Bootzilla runs one.
Oddly enough, I am buying a two headed Revelation Audio Lab cable from someone here today.
Good…I hope you debunk this rumor that it sounds better ;^ )
I have it on good authority that Revelation Audio cables are the brand God chooses for serious listening pleasure.
God wrought pure light into the finest cable, forging forth any impurities thereof. Thereupon God cloaked his work in a sheath made from the dark matter of space.
Hooking the creations twixt his amps and speakers, he sat and listened. Intently- and it was good.
I guess his favorite album is “Taking Tiger Mountain - By Strategy” by Brian Eno.
Good one
Answer (to my question on recommended voltage) directly from Matrix Audio:
“The recommended voltage of external power supply for X-SPDIF2 is 6V.
The required voltage input range is 6-9V, 6V can work stably, and the higher voltage will turn into heat, so that X-SPDIF2 maybe more warmer, but if above 9V may damage the device.“
Anyone tried the new driver (V 4.82.0)?
I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m curious. What are the driver release details?
No details provided.
It’s a generic driver for all of their products?
My new built PC is Windows Server 2012, anyone has experience of the Matrix compatibility with it?
Download the windows drivers, install them and you should be golden.
Does anyone use an Audioquest Jitterbug in conjunction with their Matrix? Or does the Matrix effectively make it redundant?
Was mentioned in a different thread, connected to a Mac Mini, but the matrix wasn’t a part of that discussion…
I think it depends more on which usb cable you use, rather than the matrix. For me the AQ Diamond sounds better without it
I too took the Jitterbugs out of the system when I got the Matrix. I felt it sounded worst with it in. But I still kept the Ifi Purifier 3 in line filter in because I do hear a subtle improvement with it in.
