Yes a friend of mine has this so I asked to borrow to measure with my Mojo2.
Here are HQPlayer PCM 44.1k test signals → PCM705k with gauss-xla, LNS15
Performance is really excellent for its size, but for the price… DAC + SRC-DX is not cheap. It’s above half the price of Holo Cyan2 when you get the adapter and cables required. But still cheaper than Cyan2 I guess and has headphone out which is quite good.
Cyan2 still measures better but no doubt this is excellent.
No noise floor modulation as Rob Watts claims (but same goes for Cyan2 anyway). And no jitter (like Cyan2)
This is a nice way to eliminate the white noise issue.
I had a mojo 2, using hqplayer upsampled to 705.6 pcm fixed the white noise issue. Not sure if it also has anything to do with the intona I inserted in the chain. But no white noise issue for a year and a half before I sold it for a cyan 2
I have had the mojo2 and ru6 as portable solution then realized in light of pandemic, I was no longer required to work in the office and decided to sell both and get a cyan 2 instead.
But now I am back to the office, I just bought a hidizs s9 pro plus Martha and a pair of zero:red iem with a rpi5 running hqp desktop …
SRC-DX should solve the white noise blast for good, since you don’t have to use the problematic USB interface while you still get full PCM input rate capability
Wish there would be a way to get direct DSD pass-through in Chord DACs. Because the Chord modulator has various noise modulation / spurious tone problems. Just highly unlikely to happen.
