    SMSL D1SE Balanced ES9038PRO

    Last year i tested topping e30, E50, d30 pro. Smsl su-8 v2, m8a, su-9, m400(almost all product range lol), denafrips ares 2, topping d90 non mqa, and now d1se, i think d1se beat them all in terms of sound quality. How do you like it in comparison to pricier dacs like Audio-gd r1 or gustard x26...

    SMSL D1SE Balanced ES9038PRO

    a little update: Communication continued, let's see how it ends. The dac itself is superb, the only issue is with i2s input, and stands, i will change them soon. For other things like usb in and sound to xlr output - sound is stunningly good for me.

    DAC ABX Test Phase 1: Does a SOTA DAC sound the same as a budget DAC if proper controls are put in place? Spoiler: Probably yes. :)

    Maybe, but in this case looks a little bit strange for me why su-9n and d1se are so different in sound perception to me, difference is even bigger than d90 non mqa and d1se. I cant explain this by measurements which posted on this forum, maybe i lack some knowledge, don't know. When i noticed...

    I compared d90 first revision non-mqa, so it is 4v. Thank you for detailed response, glad to hear this arguments. To be honest i did not read the first post, I'm just went through this test without reading, because there is a lot of technical info that im not interested in:)

    DAC ABX Test Phase 1: Does a SOTA DAC sound the same as a budget DAC if proper controls are put in place? Spoiler: Probably yes. :)

    I noted before, that i don't care about measurments, so you better say if it should. But from my experience they sound different because of post filters, different output stage, different reaction of amplifier to different input voltages of the dac:) So i can distingish them easily, as i...

    DAC ABX Test Phase 1: Does a SOTA DAC sound the same as a budget DAC if proper controls are put in place? Spoiler: Probably yes. :)

    I think if the test was performed with this fiio and more expensive dacs like d90 or d1se, i think the difference will be more noticeable for more people. I evaluated 9 dacs last year in 120-800$ price range, so from what i noticed, the difference between under 300$ dacs is small, that is what...
