If you suddenly decide to skip a track, jump from track to track the RAW-MDA1 will make a slight popping sound between tracks.

@SMSL-Mandy , The SMSL RAW-MDA1 sounds great but I have a couple of issues. 1. There’s a slight popping sound when skipping tracks. 2. The PCM filters are labeled incorrectly. I’m having a hard time finding the correct roll off points settings. After doing some research, many RAW-MDA1 owners...

The Topping D90III Discrete has been released. Measurements look fantastic with a 10-band PEQ. Is this worth buying if I need a good DAC/Pre-amp? https://www.toppingaudio.com/product-item/d90-iii-discrete

Are there any drawbacks or compromises in quality if I use the SMSL RAW-MDA1 as a pre-amp?

Thank you for pointing out those features. The ARC input and USB storage are handy to have. I don’t care for the display as it’s stored in a cabinet 10ft away.

ASR has been a good source in finding answers and learning more about audio gear. Looking forward to learn more from everyone and sharing experiences.

I’m looking for some help in deciding if it’s worth upgrading to the WiiM Ultra for WiiM Pro owners. I’m now considering instead of upgrading to the WiiM Ultra to just keep my Pro+ and adding the SMSL RAW-MDA1. The WiiM Ultra just has an older single ES9038Q2M chip while the RAW-MDA1 has new...
