The T1 is a discontinued product though.Hi Amir,
I'd love to see a test of S.M.S.L. T1 DAC (AKM4490) / headphone tube amp
Lusya is a reseller brand. There are many products under this name; several raspberry boards. I have once owned a Lusya board and was not really impressed. Best to stick to reputable products.A cheap one: Lusya card board dac for Raspberry ( less than 60 USD)
The board with AKM chip. I believe it is the only raspberry board using a 449x chip on the market and I am curious about the performance as it seems to perform better than allo boss for instance ( but it is just a subjective statement)Lusya is a reseller brand.

For all you know these boards are made with repurposed parts and chips of dubious quality..
Did you test it? I can not find the threadYes, I have been planning to do that too. Stay on my case until I do.
And typical Monoprice keeps pushing back the release date..
M-scaler won't help measurements.. 100000 or 1M taps is really just marketing crap. Some guy on reddit /r/headphones owns the TT2/M-scaler stack and regretfully admitted adding the scaler made zero difference despite all the gushing it receives online.
Sure. Would be cool to see its filter response etc. I'm just saying, it won't affect measurements. All proper DACs have a (much less steep) oversampling function. Making it steeper won't make it measure better, except if the DAC has problems with ultrasonics.The latest Auralic separate clock just got tested, so I think M Scaler is fair game.
