You mean just the digital out of the SBT w/ EDO is better than the
digital out quality with TT3.0 ? Today, I had an opportunity to do some
critical listening with my system after some electrical contact
cleaning. With this as reference, I will remove TT 3.0 and try with EDO.

Thanks Dave, I will also try to experiment with this.

2012-12-17 Thread Davey Wilo

Ah yes sorry guys, EDO is installed, I have actually been using a
standard AP2 borrowed from a friend and that has worked perfectly for a
couple of weeks playing 192kHz stuff, but as it's time to give it back I
bought my own but went the extra mile and got the Pure Power option just
assuming that it would work which now of course is giving me these
issues..

I'm about to try it again and will have a look at output settings in the
SBT, fingers crossed, I will report back

Cheers
Dave

Pure power shouldnt cause any problems. Mine starts charging when
nothing has been playing for a while.

Thanks for the responses fella's

I haven't had time to get back and try again as I've been flat out, I
hope to get to it when I get in tonight after work, but it's good to see
that people actually *do* have it working so that's a relief.

Could you guys tell me your steps, did you connect it all up SBT 
Purepower  Audiophilleo  DAC (M51 in my case) and then go into the SBT
settings and choose AP output??

Thanks once again
Dave

2012-12-15 Thread olindstam

Hi,
I've currently got that setup working ( SBT(EDO)  AP2+PP  SPDIF-DAC)
and it really helps sound quality for me. Do you have EDO properly
installed and have you selected the AP2 from it's setup menu? When I
first got my AP+PP it didn't start because the power cord between the
two wasn't properly inserted. It needed an extra click on the AP end.
Otherwise maybe reseting the whole SBT and reinstalling EDO might help?

Kind regards,
Otto

 G'day fellas
 
 I have just found these forums searching for an answer to a problem that
 I'm hoping that you guys can help me fix, I've just taken delivery of an
 Audiophilleo 2 with the Pure Power battery option, I treated myself to
 it after borrowing a standard AP2 that I was extremely impressed with, I
 thought I would go the extra mile and pay for the PP option to remove
 the dirty USB feed but it looks like it may have bitten me in the ass
 
 Dave
Does the standard AP2 work with the Touch? Is it something specific to
just the battery option?

I have heard that some other battery powered DACs have problems with the
Touch. Whenever the DAC is plugged in the Touch tells it that it is
active which means it is always running off the battery and never
recharges. 

Do you have some other way to power it and see if it works that way?
