Hi Guenter,

The DAC is currently in test. A specific filter (given by EMM Labs) must be inserted between the RS232 connector and the RS232 entry of the DAC.

And no more “non wanted noises”.

hello again,
is that the part that is delivered with the ns1?
it is stated in the manual to use this in case you use a dac2x…
or did you get another thing?

Guenter,

This part is now delivered with the DAC2X in Version 2, in case of connexion with a NS1, and usage of optilink port…
The RS232 transports “display Information” coming from the NS1 to the screen of the connected DAC. The DAC2X has not any display screen (like DA2/DV2). This part is designed to solve (filter) these non used information that can disturb (noises) the Fiber transport and the AES/EBU port as well.

But it is not mentioned in any manual.

Hi Guenter,

Got The DAC back today. Sound now is good without artefacts. So I can Enjoy my Lifatec optic wire.

Patrick

54

hi, would you say, that the lifatec is better than original emm optilink?
(I have ns1 + da2)

55

Hi Jiri,

Yes I confirm,

  • The lifatec (first designed for medical applications) is build upon 470 glass fiber optic strands in the Silflex glass cables.(to manipulate cautiously). This company designed specifically optic cables for audio applications with good critics in the press.

  • This cable has been advised by my importer.

Hi Satyam_Bachani,

Welcome to the “EMM Labs Users”

I did not used MConnect application (2.4.35) on my iPad since last update of My NS1 (3.9.0). I just tried to check the NS1’s firmware version, and An error message says :

“Remark
Delay in response from device”

and no possibility to go further.

Let’s call for a friend : Günter can you try to to audit your NS1 firmware from MConnect application?and what is the result ? Thanks in advance.

Patrick.
