I know we normally just post complaints, but.... Was clearing some weeds and general rubbish from the front garden fence on Monday. Including using a spade to chop through some small hedge roots. Then cleared away the debris and found the Virgin cables in their green corrugated truncking...

When you use the memory stick, do you just have one album on it or more than one in multiple directories. If its only one album, it may be that the Neo just plays everything it finds on the stick. If its more than one, then I don't know why it should differentiate between the stick and the NAS...

Just saw this post. I have a Sonos ZP90 and have been using it with an Arcam rDac for the last week. I had previously tried using my MF V-Dac with the Sonos but found it provided no benefit. The sound from the analogue out of the ZP90 is pretty good. I managed to get an rDac on loan and it...

Something else you could try is to use MediaMonkey to provide Artist, Album and Track info in the WAV file. As has been said when iTunes rips in WAV, iTunes keeps note of this data but does not write it to the WAV file. The WAV files are simply written to disk in a directory structure of top...

Peter, Cannot comments about CD17 as I do not have one nor have I heard one. I do however have an rDac which I am using with a Sonos ZP90. Previously I have tried using the Sonos digital out through my MF v-dac and neither I, nor 2 audiophile friends, could hear any difference between the...

Hi Woollyjoe, I have used the Sennheiser dongles, both USB and the iPod one, and have been very pleased with the sound qulity of both of them. I have not been able to do a comparison with the Creative one. I am somewhat surprised that you say the code for an APT-X enabled QBD76 is 1234. On...

I am using the Sennheiser apt-x dongle for an iPod Classic. Have a Sennheiser apt-x USB dongle on order. I have been very pleased with the iPod dongle but then its the only one I have tried. Would have been nice to do a back to back comparison with the Creative one but was not able to do...

OK Hopefully they can just exchange it for you as my dealer did. Its worth opening in the shop to check for the apt-x sticker or that the leaflet now says the code is 0000. If there is any issue (I hope not) then you can contact Chord directly and send it to them for the upgrade. If I...

I have the Gem with BTD 300i iPod dongle. When I first received it, I eventually found out the Gem I had did not support apt-x. The pre apt-x Gems had a bluetooth handshake code of 1234. The apt-x Gems have a code of 0000. The instruction sheet with you Gem tells you which code to use. My...

A quick update on the Chordette Gem Performance is still improving after a week of use (has been driven 24/7). I have seen several reviews saying it takes a week to start sounding good and 2 weeks will sound even better. Reason for this post is I have been using Apple Lossless as the format...

Yes, still called Chordette Gem, still same price. I was contacted by the shop where I had just bought it and told of the upgrade and that they would swap it for a new one with APT-X. Credit to Unilett of New Malden for great customer service. Believe the other stock units are going back to...

Don't know if anybody still watching this thread but anyway.. I today received a Chardette Gem which supports APT-X running over A2DP bluetooth. Its an upgrade from a Gem I have been using for a few weeks which had A2DP but not APT-X. Chord are only just rolling this out. I too was at...
