Holy crap, that's a lot of great information, thank you. Saved it as a PDF for future use. Unfortunately, I'll have to study up on my electronics to fully understand your advice, as I did not do most of the DIY on that Dynalo. I bought a pre-populated board from the rev C designer, DJ Gardner...

I'll keep an eye on that, thanks. I get the feeling that a better DAC might not actually have any real improvements over the "just OK" specs of the Solo gen 2 so spending the least amount of money on that upgrade makes sense to me. I should maybe replace the Dynalo first. I did buy a SMSL DL200...

Interesting, I hadn't seen this. But my use case is just for desktop with headphones and I don't know if I care too much about filters (don't really understand them, honestly) or the remote. The screen would be nice but not sure if it's worth +$40 to me. Right now I am back to using my Scarlett...

Eh, if I spend ~$50 for the Moondrop for desktop use, I might as well get the SMSL SU-1 for ~$65 (hopefully... during Oct Prime Days) and just sidestep the whole CS43131 thing entirely. I'll keep the JM20 I guess for travel use with the tablet.

Weird that it happens with the generic Windows drivers too. The JM20 works fine with Kodi on my Fire tablet. Are there any currently available cheap CS43131 dongles that don't use the Savitech bridge? Preferably on Amazon?

Found another person with a Tempotec Sonata HD Pro who can't get it to work with Kodi. Seems like Windows + Kodi + CS43131 creates some sort of system-wide problem.

I just received a JM20 dongle from this Aliexpress store and it seems to work perfectly except for one huge problem: if Kodi is running, Kodi's audio will constantly pop/drop out. Even worse, if Kodi is running (not playing anything) it will make all Windows audio including system noises pop and...

I'll give this thread one bump just in case someone who understands schematics happens to browse through this forum. Hopefully some light bumpage is OK, just not sure how to compare something that was fairly popular and acclaimed from the subjectivist old world (but seemingly never measured by...

Whoops I guess this should really have gone in the AMP section, sorry. I just have been fixated on amp/DAC combos in my shopping. I'll probably just do an Amazon test drive of the DL200 and see what I hear.

This is a question I have been having a hard time researching: Just how bad is my DIY Dynalo aka Gilmore Lite clone headphone amp? Is the design considered to be "Head Fi woo-woo garbage" today? Or is it a perfectly fine amp that doesn't need updating unless it breaks or starts making noise? I...
