    it has already been reported and discussed here : 1. is automute 2. is CS43131 runing in class H (https://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/demo-cs131.php#gsc.tab=0). There are various workaround for 1. if annoying you. For 2. you have to live with it.

    it is the auto-mute feature, very annoying with sensitive iem, so "no power saving mode under any circumstances" ? huh

    The M300se uses the class H amplifier or class AB ? "the power saving mode" has no clear meaning, in the Cirrus Logic datasheet there are many features to save the power which are irrelevant to the discussion.

    Ibasso was aware of the issue and added two mode, AB and H, in their DC04PRO

    The microclicks problem lies on the class mode AB or H, it is written in the cirrus logic datasheet, and it is shown in the RAA article you linked. If you can't hear it with the NOS filter for some strange reasons, an audio measurement might help. I don't know why SMLS does not state about that...

    Yes, listen and compare the recordings of the first set with the recordings of the second set. You should be able to identify the microclicks by comparaison. After, you test the M300 SE with the recordings of the second set or the original music, Dune Sketchbook Soundtrack - Song Of The Sister...

    have you managed to identify the microclicks in the RAA test (https://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/demo-cs131.php#gsc.tab=0) ? not with the M300 SE obviously :) SMSL could have disable the class H operation (class AB instead) because i don't see why MBO would have lied about that it would...

    that's not knowledge, just bald statements, like when you said "the class H cannot be turned off" and etc 34 units sold on aliexpress, 10 ratings on amazon, and it is on "Pre sale: send on 20th July." at hifi-express people here report that you cannot change the filters, but according to the...

    how do you know that hundreds units were sold ? do you work in the industry ? is it one more of your assumption ? i don't have the unit but there are at least 3 people here who have/had it and had refused to speak about the microclicks, with one person who cannot hear the microclicks in the RAA...

    The data are his ears. They are reliable for the microclicks and that's enough for the matter in concern. Just call him liar. There is nothing basic here, the M300 SE is advertised as a "Performance-grade" headphone amplifier.

    Why not ? again, in the CS data sheet : and there would still be the RAA article.

    no, the article dit not say that. The article said, maybe yes, maybe no, try to contact the manufacturer and share the results. you have the author of the RAA article, the DAC manufacturer, and MBO on this thread page 4.
