RE: Trigger cable lowers temperatures & power consumption - baddog - 18-May-2016 Yes I can understand that. Mine are both plugged into a Silver Circle Audio Power Conditioner. So I power that down at night which in turn powers off the Devialets completely.

I was just trying to discern all available options to reduce the operating temperature of the Companion. Ron D, are you using the RCA/XLR cable as your Master-Companion link because it sounds better than RCA/RCA or for other reasons? As to the temperature, Devialet doesn't provide an "off" state even though they call it that they still leave a lot powered (and thus wasting power as heat) in what they call "off". If you get annoyed unplugging your Devialet every night please join me in asking Devialet for a true off state (ask them directly). Thanks. RE: Trigger cable lowers temperatures & power consumption - Ron D - 20-May-2016 There have been a few comments made by members here that they are pleased using the RCA/XLR method of tying the units together so I figured for less than $100 investment from a custom cable manufacturer here in Canada I thought I'd try it. I don't have any real feel in comparing it to the stock single ended Crystal Cable provided with the Companion as of yet and given the cables are of a different build I'm not sure it would be an apples to apples comparison anyway... I did open a ticket with Devialet support and they've asked for the temperature readings which I have provided both at start up and after 30 minutes playing time. I'll update after they get back to me. Thanks again for all the help you guys! Ron RE: Trigger cable lowers temperatures & power consumption - Axel - 21-May-2016 I connect my Ds together with an RCA/XLR connector without trigger cable. I am able to use the two RCA outputs next to the XLR connector on the companion as Pre-outs to power my headphones. RE: Trigger cable lowers temperatures & power consumption - Ron D - 21-May-2016 Well I got the pre-out function working but cannot cut the speakers out when I listen to headphones. Is there a quick fix in the remote settings? I checked my prior configurations when it was just a 200 and the phones worked and speakers didn't but I cannot see anything different from how I have it at present.... RE: Trigger cable lowers temperatures & power consumption - sam1000 - 23-Aug-2016 With trigger cable between Master and Companion, do I lose the ability to connect the trigger cable from my prepro to master? In order to make life simpler for others at home, I run the trigger cable from prepro to D200 and switch the input to Bypass for watching Movies/TV. But when I get the companion, can I still use the second trigger cable to keep the temp down? Do I need to run the trigger from Prepro to slave's 'trigger in' now?

Not sure what you mean by "prepro" for example. Alex. RE: Trigger cable lowers temperatures & power consumption - sam1000 - 24-Aug-2016 Ok. Signature updated. I meant preamp-processor :-) which is Marantz 8802A. RE: Trigger cable lowers temperatures & power consumption - audio_engr - 10-Sep-2016 Tried to configure so that I could use the Trigger cable but to my amazement, I just couldn't get any of the inputs on the Companion enabled. I did enable the setting (see attachment) but in spite, the inputs are all Gray ... Please Help ... and much appreciated in advance !! [img][/img][img][/img] =============================================== another question : I would like to correctly implement the RCA-to-AES/EBU digital link thats used to combine the Master & Companion units. Master : RCA male plug Companion : XLR male plug Cable : Should this be a 75Ω cable OR a 110Ω cable ??? RE: Trigger cable lowers temperatures & power consumption - baddog - 10-Sep-2016 "Cable : Should this be a 75Ω cable OR a 110Ω cable ???" Well there are two schools of thought on this. Some on this board use a 75Ω cable, others such as myself use a 110Ω cable. I got mine from DH Labs. ( They will make it either way ) Cabledyn also makes one for the Devialet and it is 75Ω cable. http://www.cabledyne.com/devialet.html |
