"Happy" is an understatement...and that's with just the DAC feeding the fresh-out-of-the-box CG hub and cables. I'll elaborate elsewhere, as I don't want to hijack this thread or ignore settling time, but let's just say that the Wild/Fiedler Gershwin (24/352), Boult-conducted Holst Fugal Overtures (24/192), and Gould conducting his Guaracha (16/44) damned near knocked me on my seat.

As for the reception: "I wondered what I could see from our bank statements you were saving for. What would you like for dinner?"

Funny how that works!

Not sure "settling time" is as much of a "thing" with the Altaira hubs as they are passive, and ground cables don't carry any signal.

Given you're using a single CG hub, though, you should definitely consider connecting a pair of RCA ground cables from your CG Altaira to unused inputs on the CJ pre.

Moreover, if your power amp has a ground terminal you can connect to, I'd also connect a ground cable from that to your Altaira. I actually drilled a hole in the back of my C-J LP70S amp and installed a ground terminal so I could connect it to my Altaira, as shown here.


and connected...


Every component you can connect will provide an improvement, including a switch like EtherREGEN. Fortunately, John is such a good engineer, he put a proper ground terminal on ER.


Seriously, though, Jim, congrats!

You gonna be SO HAPPY.
