    WiiM Mini Review (Streamer)

    I know you'll say it's just me, and I in theory agree, but when I compare listening to Amazon music through the WiiM app versus through the Amazon app casting through Alexa, the wiim app sounds better. The wiim app also finds songs faster.

    Soncoz LA-QXD1 Balanced DAC Review

    Have you tried putting the volume at max on the Thesycon driver panel before playing a file? That usually solves the static issue for me.

    Measurements of Soncoz LA-QXD1 Pre-production "Evolution of KTE Board"

    USB for installing firmware and drivers. There are different versions of the firmware: One starts the DAC at max volume (when you're not using the DAC's volume control), and another starts the DAC at low volume (for using the DAC's volume control). I'd use the latest versions. Download...

    Soncoz LA-QXD1 Balanced DAC Review

    Thanks Ben, way to step up and continue testing, this research will no doubt even help other manufacturers. Here in Southern California, the humidity rarely falls below 40%. I leave my LA-QXD1 on 24/7 and have had exactly 0 issues. I am even using it with Pro Tools to listen to playback with no...

    Soncoz LA-QXD1 Balanced DAC Review

    Were your cables coax cables? If so maybe try regular unshielded RCA's. Your problem IMO must be caused by an electric fluctuation, so a change in resistance of the cables might change the effect of the fluctuation. How about ferrite rings on the power and coax cables?

    Soncoz LA-QXD1 Balanced DAC Review

    Works for what? Does usb in to coax out pass through the digital processing part of the DAC or is it a straight "digital from computer to next component" connection? Why is Stephen saying "But I use one of mine with optical in without problem and i tried with Spdif in without problem too."?

    Soncoz LA-QXD1 Balanced DAC Review

    Please clarify: Are you saying that TOSLINK IN and USB IN will process through the DAC and output to COAX OUT, but COAX IN to COAX OUT is just a THROUGH with no DAC processing?

    Soncoz LA-QXD1 Balanced DAC Review

    Wow, you're having a lot of issues. I haven't had that happen at all in any setting or setup I've used. I'd try reinstalling everything. Make sure you're using the correct firmware.

    Soncoz LA-QXD1 Balanced DAC Review

    OK, so you can't control the DAC's volume through the Soncoz Thesycon driver on your computer (that needs to be set to 0), but you should be able to control the volume on the DAC physically. If not, there is more adjustments to be made. Check the output on Foobar as well as the output on...

    Soncoz LA-QXD1 Balanced DAC Review

    There are several comparisons online where most conclude that there is little to no difference. As far as sample rates, I read the two formats should convert to about the same rates. I honestly am new to the whole digital thing myself, and because of how little I know, I decided to try to play...

    Soncoz LA-QXD1 Balanced DAC Review

    What is V1.1.0? Foobar or your SACD decoder? The latest version of Foobar is V1.6.1. If you're talking about the decoder, using the older version of the decoder has helped me and others get Foobar working for DSD files (V0.9.3).

    Soncoz LA-QXD1 Balanced DAC Review

    PCM and DSD are two different digital storage formats, PCM was first developed to convert analog signals to digital. DSD was first developed to store large digital files efficiently, and is often used to store PCM files. All of your song files, except DSD files, are played back using PCM mode...
