I am not too hopeful given this kind of soldering job (second picture):
Agreed. Looks like a horrible flow job.

Congratulations on an excellent choice. Kal uses a Mch Exasound, as do I, and a good friend has an E32. We are all quite happy with them. I think George's engineering is top notch.Well, George from Exasound got to me really quick and offered a good discount so I went for it! Still it was fair amount of money so I will be substituting hotdogs for shrimp and steak dinners for a few weeks.

The solder seems to have bridged the pads under that Xmos ASIC. As a minimum, it could use some cleaning of the solder balls everywhere.
...or " don't know which is more bad " .. Christ amir, " more bad" ??I don't know which is more bad: that it is soldered so poorly or that they don't know it is soldered poorly and posted the picture!
Anyway the real production may be different. It is not prime shipping so it is on slow boat from China. Estimated delivery is up to a month and half from now!!!

What's worse, amirs butchering of the English language or these guys butchered soldering?
50/50 imo
Bad soldering. I can live with Amir's English and it doesn't cost me anything (significant). Anyone who thinks engineers in general exhibit proper grammar at all, or any, time is in for a rude awakening. Bad soldering could lead to costly, time-consuming repairs. Bad English ain't that bad.

Yes but one would expect nothing less than nigh on incoherent babble and butchering from me.I'll let you know after you patch up your spelling.
(no problem in this case, except for some missing punctuation - amir's butchering)
Bad soldering. Even butchered grammar can serve the needed purpose of communication. For instance I had no issues for even a microsecond knowing what the concept is behind Amir's post.
Bad soldering will not serve the function of solder which is to connect parts of the circuit together well enough for the device to function properly and to continue functioning.
Interesting, a gaggle reveals they have a number of units at varying prices. This one is well spec'd but never heard of them before this?Let me revive this thread.
Has any one of you tried the SMSL M9. I think it goes for around 400-500$
It seems like a nice unit but I couldn't find any measurements of it and hardly any reviews.
