DAC-V1 as a seperate DAC to Rega Apollo-R CD Player...
Posted by: VinBob on 18 August 2016
Hello all and fellow DAC-V1 owners!
I have a quick question which I was hoping someone could kindly help with on my DAC-V1. I thought I would use it as separate dedicated DAC with my Rega Apollo-R CD player as the transport, and the display on the DAC-V1 is giving a 'Cannot Reclock' message. I tried this with what I assumed was a lesser CD player (Sony DVP-S7700) and using the same high quality Transparent 75 Ohm coax cable to the DAC-V1 S/PDIF input, I don't get the same error message?! 
Has anyone experienced this with the same combo and if so, is it something that needs to or can be fixed via the Rega CD player, or is it just a comparability issue that I will just have to live with. Looking for some thoughts/feedback as to whether there is anything that can be done or just leave it be and simply use the internal Apollo-R DAC which presumably, shouldn't sound any worse than the DAC-V1 as they use the same Wolfson chipset I believe ...
Cheers,
Vin.
