    Fosi Audio V3 Mono Amplifier Review

    I've been using the V3M XLR input (RCA to XLR cable) because my preamp (RCA out) has too much gain. For me this solution sounds great and the question is: - why does this work, feading the XLR with half the signal - if it works, why is there an additional/3rd opamp (se to balanced) - what could...

    XMOS reliability/alternatives?

    Windows 10 Squeezelite-X settings Squeezelite-x64 this works great (if I don't touch the input switch): squeezelite-x64 -o 8 -r 768000 using newest SU-1 driver (5.70) https://www.smsl-audio.com/upload/portal/undefined/SMSLUSBAudioDriver.zip...

    XMOS reliability/alternatives?

    Both of these issues are not major of course... they're just annoying. SINAD 100, PCM 768k, DSD for $80 :) If SMSL/Fosi/Topping are listening... please try to keep the USB on in the future (like the pros). I guess I'll really just get another DAC and dedicate one to streaming/USB only.

    XMOS reliability/alternatives?

    I recently tried with a BananaPi and Armbian The device list output of "squeezelite -l" changed depending on the current SU-1 input

    XMOS reliability/alternatives?

    Issue 1: When switching to SPDIF, isn't it possible for the DAC to keep the USB device active and just not listen to it any more? About Issue 2: In Squeezelite-X (windows app) you have to select/save the audio device in the settings. In my case it's USB DAC ASIO. The first start of the app...

    XMOS reliability/alternatives?

    I've been using the SMSL SU-1 for a few months now. When it works I'm very happy. But the USB handling seems poor. see also https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/switching-between-two-recent-smsl-xmos-usb-dacs-on-a-windows-pc-reliably.59176/ Basically/technically the XMOS...

    SMSL SU-1 Stereo DAC Review

    So here the two videos about the USB issues... 1) input switch disables USB: code/firmware decision by SMSL, or basic XMOS feature? 2) Squeezelite-X USB crash when using ASIO: XMOS driver or usb bug?

    Keeping a Windows 10 media server after 2025

    My LMS is a docker container (Synology NAS). Windows player is Squeezelite-X (MS app store) or Squeezelite-x64 (5MB exe). I expect the transition to W11 (aka Vista SE) will take many years... see XP and 7 ;)

    Is there any good, free remote controllable streaming software that runs on x86....

    I tried Volumio (bugs, yikes) and gave up a Bluesound Vault (poor UI/app/playlist-handing, no web radio cover art)... My LMS (Lyrion Music Server) is a docker container on my Synology NAS. Main player is a Windows 10 mini PC with Squeezelite-x64 (5MB exe) and SMSL SU-1 DAC (USB ASIO). Webradio...

    Fosi Audio ZD3 Balanced DAC Review

    Yes exactly, the USB device looks like it's unplugged/gone, until you switch back to the USB input. I'm starting to think this is a XMOS bug/feature/limitation.

    Fosi Audio ZD3 Balanced DAC Review

    Does the ZD3 keep the USB device active (windows/linux/mac) when switching to another input (as opposed to SMSL SU-1)?

    SMSL SU-1 Stereo DAC Review

    I made a video of my USB issue. Is my SU-1 broken? Is my setup strange? Is this normal for the SU-1? Do other DAC also disabled the USB when switching inputs? Why isn't this mentioned in reviews?

    Fosi Audio V3 Mono Amplifier Review

    I think 3E's naming ideas are poor... see 260-2-29A and 480-1-29A :facepalm: But technically I trust them (industry experience, parts used) much more than Fosi (defect reports, wire issues, filter). If I didn't have the V3M already, I'd get one of the a A5/7.

    Is new SMSL SU1 defective?

    I tried the optical input a few times and it worked for me (Bluesound Vault and Hisense TV). Did you try a good source, like CD player? Maybe your input is broken, dust? Did you read this review...

    Fosi Audio V3 Mono Amplifier Review

    I had the 10A brick first, but I prefer two PS... no filter needed, independent power and short speaker cables. Using two Aiyima 36V 6A, limiting the max. wattage and (hopefully) reducing the chip heat. Really surprised how detailed and dynamic these amps are. :)

    Topping E30 II Lite DAC review and measurements

    Windows desktop playing audio to USB DAC (SMSL SU-1). You temp. switch the DAC to optical input for example. The USB DAC then completely disappears in Windows (the device does not exist any more, like unplugged). :eek: When you switch the DAC to USB input it pops up again. This confuses my...
