That v1. 1 to v1.2 upgrade is temptingly simple but with terrifyingly small smd components. Feels like a good mod for off warranty or if I move it from feeding powered monitors to a situation where I need to push the output levels.
The geek in me wants those class leading measurements though.
V1.1 here, besides measurements, the unit sounds great with flac sources, but feeding upsampled DSD512 bypassing internal upsample and filters sounds absolutely spectacular!!
I'm not sure but I'll say up to 34 will be fine, however keep in mind that the distortion we are talking about at max volume it's such a small amount that is measurable but not audible.I have v1.1, On the volume control from 0-38 what is -6dB? What is the max volume before distortion kicks in?

You never know without actually measuring it. At least I don't.@amirm do you think the SMSL M10 would measure pretty well? I'm guessing it won't hit these levels due to the single DAC, but it should be a pretty sound measuring device, shouldn't it?

There are not audible distortions on 38 volume level with ver1.1 on my active speaker. I listened both version (1.1 and 1.2) and on ver1.2 SPL up 6-8 db according to my spl meter. Meter is inaccurate, but subjectively, the difference is similar to the real. In my opinion, the sound of the ver1.2 is more transparent and detailed on mid and high.Thank you all for the reply on my question. Forgot to mention i'm using balanced out. So this is good to know the maximum volume before distortion kicks in.

I'm a bit skeptical about your experience, hearing a difference with such a small technical variation (which by the way is supposed to start from volume 32 up), at such loud and increasing volume. Honestly I think what you have heard to be most likely not related to the mod, not to mention that at such high volumes any speaker would become less transparent and detailed.There are not audible distortions on 38 volume level with ver1.1 on my active speaker.

Hi all, thanks for letting us know about this! I was unaware there was a new version. I spoke to our supplier and it was confirmed the newest SMSL SU-8 V2 will be sent in this promotion!
Amir,
Switching to a song with a different sampling rate on SU-8, the head part of the song becomes a fade-in operation, and the first part of the song is erased. Is V2 the same behavior?
If that is resolved I would like to buy another one.
