Planing to use the SMSL SU-1 as a DAC and Nvidia Shield PRO as a streaming device. The SU-1 is powered through USB, so it will be getting its power from the Shield. In order to perform great, I understand any DAC needs a good powersupply..., and I wonder;
1. Do anyone know if the 5V output of the Nvidia Shield USB is "clean enough"?
2. If no; Is there any way to supply the SU-1 with a better powersupply? (split the usb into (+5/gnd) & (data) - letting the data be connected into the shield, while +5/gnd is connected to a higher quality PSU?)
Any thoughts on this?
Hi ! Thank you very much for this very interesting thread
Some years ago I bought one
I read p2571 model on the bottom of the unit
I didn't use it much at the time experiencing some issues during the updating procedure
Yesterday I found it in the garage and connected it via HDMI to the tv and then to the same smsl su1 DAC via toslink
I am amazed by the quality of the sound
Very very detailed but also musical
I can here very clearly the ambient sounds in some videos like being there
This thing is really good for sound even passing through the tv
The DAC is powered by a USB charger nothing high end for sure
