EMM Labs AS Optimism emm.

Yeah, and we're gonna be p......d too.

Razen -- not so fast!!

You're expected to provide a lengthy, detailed report on the sonic affects of the new AS cable. Otherwise, your future inquires may be looked upon with courteous disdain ;~))

Thanks for all, the problem resolved.

CDSD: EXT and 75OHM
DCC2: Bal/UnBal? If you use phono in

Cables:
CDSD Data to DCC2 ST
CDSD Clock to DCC2 Clock In
CDSD Ext Clock t DCC2 Clock Out

Now that your system will work, please tell us what you hear differently with the new wires.

I would call EMM Labs. This could be an issue with one of the chips in the CDSD or the DCC2 or a cable issue. EMM will discuss a testing routine to establish what the problem is. Just a recommendation.

Good luck and happy New Year.

I also purchased the Optimism emm cables. There was an instruction sheet that came with the cables which outlined how to connect the cables. However, I also had a hard time making the proper connections, and initially they did not work. I thought I had damaged the cables. I took them out, started over and eventually got it work. Did the cables make a significant and worthwhile difference to my DCC2/CDSD? Absolutely, with the result being a even lower noise floor, more dynamics, and air. I would not thought it possible, but to paraphrase some other audiophile, there is always better.

Good luck,

Reg

I think you should email your question to Tommy Dzurak at Aural Symphonics. He needs to know about these issues and will be happy to help you to make the right connections.
