Silver and Black
......and No, I am not a Raider fan.
With some encouraging comments from AA members on my other thread...I decided to open my Olive 06HD and give it a whirl. This unit is solidly built of 3/8" aluminum (at least the top plate is) and is gorgeous in Silver. How is it connected? .....WW Silver Electra PC, Audioquest King Cobra XLR from the 06's Analog out to my C50 and is hardwired via Cat6 Ethernet cable to my Sonos ZP90. If and When the C50's DAC's are updated ..... I will try running a WW coax or optical from the 06 Digital Out to the C50's DACs. Time will tell.....the 06 does uses Two TI 192khz/24-bit Burr- Brown PCM1792 in mono mode. I've got all my 70+ CD's ripped into the internal HD and I think it's still hungry. The The Internet Radio is also pretty cool too....listening to "Radio Sky Music" from France right now. The sound so far is "Very Good" and the convenience factor is NUMBER ONE. Enjoy the pics....this may be a temporary location within the rack, but an Ipad will solve the placement dilemma. .....and of course a external HD is on my list for my backup. |

Very nice. I was really surprised when I saw the 6HD in person at RMAF. It really is much larger than the 4HD. Glad you are using your Olive.

How is the sound using its own built in DAC? |

'cisco.......Way to go! I am happy for you.
You are right, with only 70 CD's on the hard drive, the 06HD is HUNGRY. Feed it. You need to have a CD ripping party. Invite some friends over. Ask them to bring 25 or 30 CD's each. Could be a fun afternoon/evening, and would help bump up your library. Another idea, go to the public library and check out CD's from their collection.

Thanks guys....
Dario.....the built-in DAC really sounds excellent. I think you will be very happy with yours. Here's a nudie I found of an 06 on the net... Dan....that's a great idea. |

I was worried you were not going to give the Olive a chance. I am very happy to see another AA member and Olive user enjoy what it offers. Loved your pics even if the placement in the rack is not final. We need to help you on that CD Collection. Maybe invite your friends with box sets over... 2TB Is a big Hard Drive The Olive app on the iPad almost doubles the fun. Jimmy

Thanks Jimmy.....I actually switched the position of the 06/MCD500 today. Much better now.
I'll also see what I can do about feeding my HUNGRY 06. |
