AIYIMA D20 – Decoding in Development

[Guddu]

Yes I agree I think @AIYIMA did a very nice job with the UI on this DAC. Though sadly I didn't see any EQ options.

+1, D20 looks their best till now.

BTW, Initial pics did show EQ/filter:

Yes I spotted that option but I thought it was probably the roll-off filters rather than EQ filters. See the [F1] - I imagine this means "fast rolloff 1" but if it meant the name of some PEQ filters that would be amazing. But I guess @AIYIMA can clarify.

Can we have a DSP like WIIM?

Is it February or March? If I knew, I wouldn't have to check every day.

Hey audio lovers!

Here’s an update on the D20 development!
The hardware design is basically done, and our team is now putting the final touches on the UI software.
The D20 will be meeting you all very soon — stay tuned

A new update would be nice.

 

[AIYIMA]

Thank you for your interest. We expect it around mid-March.

I really hope for the implementation of an equalizer

@AIYIMA
Will D20 provide OP-Amp rolling or transparent window on top?

Aiyima has confirmed the D20 will feature swappable DIP8 sockets, supporting Op-Amp rolling

To compete with designs like the Douk Audio Q1 (very similar technical design) a glass lid or window is very likely. Let‘s see.

Meaning, Aiyima did not optimized the design on what op amps to be used. Op amp rolling is like rolling a dice, it may improve or worsen the SQ.

Only one XLR output? I guess chip selection will be available only for RCA...

See post #87 around mid March expected, we're not there yet... In addition, since they made that announcement, international trade and distribution conditions haven't flourished - to put it mildly.

Is this model available for pre-order?
