It's unfortunate that Audiolab are not offering updates for their products. I have a Q-Dac which crackles (sometimes) when connected via USB.
I understand that the M-Dac had a similar issue. John Weslake (former contractor to Audiolab) offered updated firmware for the M-Dac which cured the problem. Sadly no update for the Q-Dac.
Doesn't exactly inspire one to spend more money on Audiolab products...

I agree with you. Their customer service is terrible. The level of technical support is practically zero. It feels like we might not see this company in the future. This is usually how companies behave when they are about to close down.
But despite all this, some engineers have left behind excellent technical solutions that we will be able to use for a long time. However, I would also avoid their new products. Everything looks too suspicious

Hello. I would like to discuss the operation of a toroidal transformer in Audiolab 6000a. Not everyone may have noticed or experienced this problem, but if you have a poor electrical network, the transformer can hum and produce an unpleasant noise. This is an issue with any device that has a toroidal transformer. To solve this problem, there are DC blockers available for the electrical network. For example, this one from "Audiolab"
, whose price is clearly very high. Therefore, if you are knowledgeable in circuitry, you can build one yourself for around $10 in parts.
Alternatively, you can purchase a similar product which better than Audiolab and huge cheaper.

P.S. Don't let your transformers hum, protect your ears and your equipment

I find this funny because EMI filters are standard features in any half-decent SMPS...
Hello, I have the same problem, I updated the frimeware to VER-033 and now I have OP1 and standby issue. I have the GD32F105 processor so I tried the GVR frimeware from Audiolab (GD MCU_V0.34_220704_GVR) and it doesn't work. Onx can u send me the right firmware please ? thanks in advance.
