    Schiit KARA Preamp and Headphone Amp Review

    Hello @Moth , I totally agree with your second topic on your wishlist. A rotary as input selector would be great - a direct change also via the IR remote would be a significant improvement for me. Regarding the first topic: I am fine connecting a dedicated DAC and phone pre-amp - but optional...

    Audiophonics HPA-S400ET Review (Stereo Amplifier)

    Sorry to hear ComasSky, my new LPA-S400ET is very silent when I switch it on or off. I would contact Audiophonics again for support.

    Audiophonics HPA-S400ET Review (Stereo Amplifier)

    Do you start/shut down your streamer or your power amp? For me this looks like a problem with your audio source..

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    Just press FN and it will activate the display without going dark after some seconds... Another press will switch back to the former behaviour.

    SMSL SU-6 crackling sound issue

    Thanks for your ideas and suggestions. I personally don't think that this is related with the power settings on Linux/Windows. The raspberry pi (piCoreplayer) hasn't been updated in the last months and the issue is also there if I connect just a plain CD player. I believe the DAC is somehow...

    SMSL SU-6 crackling sound issue

    Hi rentaclaus, I use in my primary setup a raspberry PI (#2) running piCorePlayer/Linux (#3) as a network streamer connected to the SMSL DAC via USB (#1) and feeding an integrated amplifier. This setup was working fine for two months. I also have these sound issues when I connect my old CD...

    SMSL SU-6 crackling sound issue

    Dear all, sorry I am not sure if this is the right forum. So please apologize if I should find another forum/section. A couple of days ago I identified a crackling sound issue with my SMSL SU-6 DAC which is a couple of months old only. The issue comes and goes and it is very difficult to...

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    Please check this post. You need a little adapter. A USB-C to USB-C cable does not work.

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    A USB-C to USB-C data cable also does not work for me. But I found something interesting: @Acerun @Masterbrewer @Gradius It is not an issue with the DAC as such but with the cable/smartphone... Using a Samsung USB-A to USB-C adapter connected to the smartphone (Samsung S10) and using a...

    I checked two times but could not find any strings and horns at my DAC. :p

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    Yes, the remote is a must if you want to change the settings (filters, volume, etc...). The touch button allows to put the device into standby and to change the inputs.

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    Hello @mrjktcvs You don't have to do a new pairing when switching from one device to another. You have to stop using Bluetooth audio on one device and then connect to the SU-6 with a second device. A parallel connection to two devices is not possible but one after the other is possible and it...

    SMSL SU-6 Review (Desktop DAC)

    Hello @confucius_zero I know this forum is very much focussing on technical specs and measurability (which is great) and the SU-6 measures very well (thanks to amirm's review). Please let me just explain why the SU-6 is FOR MY USECASE the perfect RCA-only DAC. - I use the DAC in an HIFI setup...
