If the Steve Huffs of the world told us that every DAC basically sounds the same, they would have no reason to exist as reviewers, or their reviews would be very short. They need to exaggerate/invent differences so that companies will keep sending them products, which they conveniently get to...
While the VU meter seems to be too sensitive for rock/pop, it is the opposite for classical music, which is what I mostly listen to. There are often long passages of quiet music where the needle doesn't move at all, to the point where I've wondered if the screen was frozen. :D
Yeah, it has stopped for me as well. I did download the newest firmware in the meantime, so maybe that's what fixed it.
It was certainly a strange problem to have, though probably useful if I wanted an extra remote in the form of a ceiling fan. :D
I've enjoyed this device a lot. I guess my...
My entire system is in the same circuit.
Could it be the fact that the streamer is connected to a wifi extender in the same room as the fan? The music doesn't just stop, it actually disconnects as a Roon Ready device momentarily, so I have to choose the streamer again in Roon to continue the...
Just received my DMP 6 an hour ago. Setup was easy, I love the display.
Then I went to turn off my ceiling fan to reduce the noise in the room and the music paused. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but it keeps happening whenever I turn on or off my ceiling fan. What could be causing...
I just read that post by Bluesound on their message board. It does say they're working on it, which is good, but it doesn't provide a timeline for development. I'm confident they'll find a solution.
Other than the MQA/Roon problem, the Node is fantastic. I only got it a few days ago primarily...
Hopefully they'll fix it. The major flaw of the SU-9 is that MQA only works through USB, not coax or optical. That's why I was excited when the latest firmware update for the Node included USB out.
I tried using USB out with my SMSL SU-9 through Roon, but the sound breaks up every few seconds, and I checked "renderer only" and "MQA core decoder" as someone mentioned earlier. But when I use USB out with Tidal connect and BluOS, it works flawlessly. But I'm so used to using Roon, it feels...
Sorry if this has been addressed before, but does anyone else hear a little noise when changing the volume? It usually happens between 10 and 2 o'clock. It doesn't always happen, but frequently enough to be noticed. Other than that, the unit is completely silent, but that little noise when...
I did specifically mention the third harmonic distortion issue in my email, and they said the units that had been shipped to APOS had the problem fixed.
Like most people, I really can't hear that defect on my SU-9 as I love that DAC, but since I'm within the two year warranty window, I might as...
So APOS says I can replace my current SU-9 with one they have in stock. When I asked if the ones they have in stock are the updated units, they said that they receive devices from SMSL every couple weeks and it should be the updated ones. I don't think that person really knows and simply assumed...
@muslhead
So you got an upgraded version directly from APOS, correct?
I just exchanged a few emails with them. They initially said I should send the device to SMSL, but then when I insisted that I don't want to do that, they said they'll look into a replacement/return or an upgrade, but the...
