Does the MKIII suffer from the audio delay issue?

SMSL released a new driver recently that may have fixed the lag issues. It's early days yet but I installed it two days ago and I haven't noticed any latency since.

When you turn on the MK2 it will display U2 (for V2) and the MK2 has six filters. The original has five.

Quick question, does anyone know if this has a service menu? If it did it might be possible to change sleep behavior.

I think I have figured out what causes the audio latency. When a dac wakes from a low power state it often causes an audible pop. Most dac's with this problem mask it by muting the audio for around a second on wake. The SMSL doesn't seem to do this. The SMSL seems to delay the audio by around a...

Manjaro doesn't use Pipewire? With that you can set multiple sample rates for the dac to switch between.

Those of you on linux what music players are you using for bit-perfect audio? I'm having real trouble finding something to replace Foobar or Musicbee.

He makes an interesting point about intersample overs. How they are handled is information I'd like to know before buying a dac and it's information that just doesn't seem to be out there.

You can't trust a What HiFi review of a British product. They have always been like that unfortunately.

The MK2 does do 768Khz and DSD512 the windows mixer just doesn't support anything above 384Khz. Also I believe you have to have their driver installed and use ASIO to get the sample rate that high. On another issues. Can anyone recommend a micro usb cable that reliably works with this thing? It...

What internal EQ was the Mobius set to when you did your correction? Did you keep it on default?

Thanks for testing the crosstalk! The distortion is forgivable I can't blame ifi for chasing their house sound when so many people love it but the crosstalk is just bizarre. They had a spec sheet before the Zen Can released stating a crossstalk of -90db but that was the last ifi themselves ever...

I know you normally don't test crosstalk but it really is worth doing it on the Zen Can. It's a major deficiency in the Zen Can's design and i have found only one review that mentions it.

Yep.

From what I've seen the distortion on ifi dac's isn't a bug it's a feature. I part of how they achive their tubeish house sound. It hurts measurements but people do like how it sounds.

Thanks!

Okay. So how much power does the amp put out when used with a 2vrms dac?

So, I have been reading that the A30 Pro's stated power output is misleading because Topping measured it using a 5 VRMS dac. What kind of power output would you be getting using a bog standard 2 VRMS dac plugged into the things RCAs?

Has anyone tried the "tube like" firmware on this? Seems like a nice little value add.

Darn it!
