I would like to leave a bit of feedback for Nobsound NS-08P Pro from Amazon as per link above.
I bought 2 units from Amazon store and they are essentially the same in performance so unit variation seems very very low +/- 0.1db at same levels
It clicks nicely during operation however it several nasty FLAWs.
1. When reducing volume during certain changeovers output volume actualy INCREASES and vice versa.
Both units I got exhibit the same issues when tested with M-Audio MobilePre (I know it is old) + RMAA:
Going from -15 to -16 >>> volume increases by 1 db
Going from -31 to -32 >>> volume increases by 3 db
Going from -63 to -64 >>> volume increases by 3 db
The way how this feels is that when changing volume one is puzzled to hear that at certain times volume goes in the opposite direction from expected.
2. Another issue: steps are fluctuating between 0.3 db to 2.4 db and steps are higher when closer to 0 (this one goes from 0 to negative on display)
3. Overall attenuation as observed was in the range of 60 db, so it is never actually muting the signal via the know. Although, it does have a mute function and it does work correctly.
I bought first unit, tested it, then decided to take advantage of long return dates offered by Amazon to see if second unit is the same.
Unfortunately, yes, both are the same.
