Proceed Transport & Kora DAC compatability problem

If you are hooking the Proceed to another digital input at the same time this could the your problem for example a cd recorder. Have you tried the Proceed with another DAC. I have a Kora and mate it tothe Electrocompaniet with excellent results - no noise of any kind. It is not over-rated at all. Only a person who doesn't have one or hasn't heard one could say that.

I have determined that there is nothing wrong with the Kora. The problem is with the PMDT. The settings on the PMDT were the problem. I changed the CD record setting to yes and the Kora is working perfectly. The Kora sounds awesome. I am very happy with it and it is just breaking in. Thanks for all of your suggestions.

Fantastic! Glad to hear that you've solved the problem and you're already liking the sound. Mine has about 200 hours on it now and I love it. In a few months I'm gonna start experimenting with different 6922 tubes to see if I can improve the Kora even more. Enjoy!

Gunbei, what tubes are you about to try? I was thinking of going to the Siemens NOS.

Hi Ljgj. Since I'm a tube newbie I'm gonna be tube rolling my preamp first. I was able to wrangle a few pairs of NOS Tung-Sol and Sylvania 6SN7s and am gonna see what happens. After I get a good feel for those tubes, then I'll see to the Kora. And to be honest I really don't know enough to have an idea where I'm going to start. The Kora comes with two Sovtek 6922s doesn't it? A couple of Audiogoners have told me there's room for improvement there as well, so I'm sure that'll be fun too. Have you done any experimenting with your Hermes?
