don't understand why they didn't include the cardioid, the cardioid is passive and shouldn't add too much to the cost?
dutch and dutch has too many orders they probably cannot keep up with the 8c production anyway.
Consider the price, the directivity is pretty well control.
If they can remove the 300-500Hz energy firing to the back that would be perfect.
If Erin can produce the directivity graph for the other DSP settings that would be awesome.
Matrix X-SPDIF 2 seems to be a fine DDC. Their product usually measure pretty well in here.

Still don't get it. If change to closer distance, SPL will go up but everything else should remain the same.
The graph looks like only one treble is making sound.
@hardisj Great review. D&D's cardioid is a passive design, however there is a side wall settings in the app to adjust the distance from the side wall. Could you help me understand how this is done and can this be measure?
Thanks!
I have the same device and the price is half of what Amir state.
I see no major fault in this device except the higher noise floor, but like other people said, who cares about noise floor when play vinyl. The distortion is the worst part but given is lower price point I think it is acceptable...
This is why I go wireless with my Pi streamer :D
The only limitation is it cannot go ultra high DSD resolution
By the way I'm from HK too. #StandWithHongKong
