The problem with the Element X is that they don't have iOS support. So, I'd have to use an Android device to control Roon, if I understand correctly.
Oh yeah! Not sure how I forgot about that.You should be able to use an iOS device with roon to control the Element. I think that if you want to control the Element direct;ly outside of roon, you will need an Android device.
I would definitely be willing to do it, this forum and community has already inspired an audio lover everyday I'm on it, just need amir on board.You should! It will be a while before I can get Matrix X-Sabre Pro
Hi bro, we will try to arrange an element X sample unit and ship it to Aimr, looking forward to it!I'm actually considering the element X as a total package considering a dac/headphone amp/streamer/IIS/etc.
I'm actually moving in about two months or so and have been looking at new gear for a desktop dac for headphones and speakers with additional connection for a TV use. I've been using a khadas with the atom for desktop which has been amazing but this would basically be an expensive all in one.
I wouldn't mind buying it now and sending to @amirm for testing purposes.
the iOS app is developing in progress. hopefully within year 2019.The problem with the Element X is that they don't have iOS support. So, I'd have to use an Android device to control Roon, if I understand correctly.

element X works as an end-point of a Roon core, if you run ROON on your computer (or other roon core), you can install ROON Remote on your iOS phone and control element X as an end-point.
That's all subjectivist nonsense.The first thing I read on sbaf about this DAC is that jitter removal feature in the chip somehow removes the "emotion, good energy" of the music whatever that is supposed to be, and that a spdif converter/spinner sounds "better" than async USB.
What is 'sbaf'?I'm considering purchasing the matrix pro, it would be very interesting to see measurements of the matrix pro/element the DAC section should be the same. The first thing I read on sbaf about this DAC is that jitter removal feature in the chip somehow removes the "emotion, good energy" of the music whatever that is supposed to be, and that a spdif converter/spinner sounds "better" than async USB. I'm unsure if the usb is galvanically isolated though so maybe grounding can explain differences.
Yeah it probably is, most likely that disabling the jitter feature is somehow increasing distortions somewhere making it sound more pleasant.That's all subjectivist nonsense.
stands for superbestaudiofriends,What is 'sbaf'?

Haha no worries I don't really believe them either.Absolutely no need to worry, the jitter correction feature can be disabled which ensures stable flow of emotion and good energy.
How about test element X first? if you guys want to see the measurement of X-SABRE Pro MQA by ASR, i would like to try to arrange sample unit.Yo! Welcome, we need a new king of the chart to rule them all. The X-Sabre Pro's THD+N spec of <0.00012% looks promising. Any chance you can send one for Amir to test?
