has anyone tested Silent Angel M1T?

Hi,

has anyone tested Silent Angel M1T? I just wan to know which method gives better audio performance: local hard disk (SSD) or network transport (via switch)?

 

[RandomEar]

What do you refer to when talking about "better audio performance"?

EDIT: Ohhh god, the company also sells a "Power Source Purifier" (arguably useless, but OK) and a "Network Purifier" (100% pure snakeoil bullshit).

Why would you expect there to be any difference?

I would appreciate it if you could evaluate M1T after you use it.

If someone said said some magic words over a bottle of water and said it would cure cancer would you need to drink it before evaluating that claim?

Review of Silent Angel Munich M1T - L7Audiolab

台式设备 记得我很早以前私下推荐的树莓派Roon桥系统里面，除了来自国外的Ropieee之外还有一个来自国内开发者的VitOS。当时我就已经知道了Silent Angel这家公司的存在。都不知道它家出了新款的纯数播M1T……直到有知乎网友联系送测我才知道

Why would one want to use it, let alone run tests on it? What makes it worth seeking out?

There's no known way for SSD vs. Network to change sound quality in a normal situation. DACs have buffers, this eliminates any possible difference completely.

So... a Pi 4 plus a digital output, a couple of proprietary bus connections and their own linux-based firmware image.

Thanks. That’s what I want. It seems M1T has a jitter issue. One question: can this issue be solved with asynchronous USB mode? That is if the USB DAC does a reclocking.

What jitter issue? You find those artifacts at -130dbFS problematic?

I have a RPi4 + moOde audio sw + Eversollo DAC-Z8. Total price ~750 EUR.
I can use it with local storage, SMB/NFS shares, NAS, Roon, LMS, Spotify connect, BT, AirPlay 1/2
It can:
play "internet radios"
stream over HTTP
play to BT
serve DLNA and UPnP
play to multi-room
have P/G EQ / DSP et-all with CamillaDSP

Performance-wise, I'd say slightly better. And a little bit cheaper (but then again, the DAC alone is 700...)

Can you read the description at https://www.l7audiolab.com/f/silent-angel-munich-m1t/ or do you use online translator?

Yes, I have the Munich M1t, but I can't tell you if there's a difference, because for us it's a pure streamer and it does that perfectly. I've had it for about a year and I bought it because of the sound in combination with my DAC. I previously had a Bluesound Node and the sound was always too flat for me. The Qobuz application in the app is functionally the best I've come across so far, outside of Roon.

I've been using the Silent Angel Munich M1T transport for a year now with great satisfaction, coupled with a Sabaj A20D DAC. It is a very usable, flexible system with a very good user interface. It works with Tidal Connect and can easily play any music from NAS and SSD. And I think the sound quality is quite excellent for its price range.
