    SMSL SU-9n Review (Balanced Stereo DAC)

    Maybe they didn't thermal cycle testing or a faulty batch of timer chips.

    SMSL SU-9n Review (Balanced Stereo DAC)

    Haven't learned how to solder yet, despite graduating from an EE program a few years ago, lol. Probably going to send it back for repair.

    SMSL SU9-n issue

    I am also having the same issue on my SU-9N. The noise got so bad that it triggered overcurrent protection on my Topping A30 Pro. I have attached a recording of the noise:

    SMSL SU-9n Review (Balanced Stereo DAC)

    Hi xrk971, I seem to be having a similar issue to you. I purchased this in Feb 2022 from ShenzenAudio and this just started happening. I can confirm that it seems to be thermal related. The noise triggered overcurrent protection on my A30 Pro so I've switched back to using my Schitt Modi DAC...

    SMSL SU-9n Review (Balanced Stereo DAC)

    The ESS 9093PRO datasheet has some interesting information on the non customized filters. Maybe someone could extrapolate the effects of the customized filters. Datasheet: https://www.esstech.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/ES9038PRO-Datasheet-v3.7.pdf

    SMSL SU-9n Review (Balanced Stereo DAC)

    There is a connector under the SMSL-9n but I don't think it's intended for end user use.

    SMSL SU-9n Review (Balanced Stereo DAC)

    I was looking through the driver settings (version 5.30) and I notice that the same output format is listed twice. Does anyone else settings look like this?

    Topping A30Pro Review (Balanced Headphone Amp)

    After reading this post https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/topping-a30pro-review-balanced-headphone-amp.20366/post-1157661 and some other posts on this thread it seems that poorly mastered songs can also cause this. Guess I was overreacting. Learned something new today!

    Topping A30Pro Review (Balanced Headphone Amp)

    The tests on the site are pretty quiet, no way I can listen to normal music at that volume.

    Topping A30Pro Review (Balanced Headphone Amp)

    Hi I was running the Dynamic range, Quality, Driver matching tests from audiocheck.com on my HE6SEv2, SU-9n and this amp at max gain and max volume. On some playthroughs of the test there would be a click sound that would occur and sound would temporary stop. Did a some more test to determine...

    SMSL SU-9n Review (Balanced Stereo DAC)

    So I have this DAC connected by XLR to the Topping A30pro driving an HE6v2. I also have the Schitt Modi and Magni Hersey for the 6xx.

    Hifiman HE6se Review (Headphone)

    Are people still having the channel imbalance/stuck driver issue on the HE6SE v2? Thinking of ordering them from Adorama for $550 but I am wary because shipping it back for warranty or an exchange would be expensive (I live in Canada). Alternatively I could get the HE6SE v1 directly from Hifiman...

    Topping A30Pro Review (Balanced Headphone Amp)

    Would the A30pro be sufficient for driving the HE6SE v2 with eq, or should I get the A90? I would prefer to get the A30pro as I can place it on top of my SMSL SU-9n while the A90 would need to be placed somewhere else.
