Too bad, not being able to bypass the preamp (volume) is blocking for me.

Are you thinking of getting them Roon certified?

In any case, congratulations for your products

Maybe i will a future customer of the product range ! :)

Is it possible to upgrade control panel, that it send a fixed volume setting to this device?
We will release a default maximum volume (best performance) version of XMOS firmware as soon as possible for users who want to upgrade(Each time the power on the maximum volume of the best performance state, if not necessary, can be reduced to the default low volume version). Users upgrade with XMOS DFU tool.
Because in december you wrote it is it is possible to change volume and mute via usb
there is a point:volume and mute control through Windows standard GUI (depending on device capabilities). Is this device ready for this?
We've been testing this feature(change volume via usb) a long time. The reason it has not been open to users is that there is a probability of popping when playing audio files in a high bitstream (such as PCM768k) and dragging the volume control bar at the same time. We and the technical engineers of XMOS have been debugging for many times, and found that one possible reason is that the computing power of the XMOS we are currently using is not enough when playing high bitstream. Expect a breakthrough soon.

This is wonderful :)
To use this device always with maximum volume will be perfect. Dont need to adjust volume at all. After that this is for me by far the best device in this price range.
Thanks for your support

What OS? Windows 10, Apple OSX, Linux should not need a driver, anyway.
Welches Betriebssystem? Windows 10, Apple OSX, Linux sollten sowieso keinen Treiber benötigen.

Received this yesterday.

Here are some pictures of what's going to be my desktop setup at my office.

Nice, three layer packaging: one cardboard outer box with post labels, another cardboard inner box for protection and one white box with the contents as showed.

The money shot. The DAC is going to be powered from an "always-on" Lenovo dock.

I think the caps are a nice touch - something that the 887 didn't even come with.

Overall I am happy with the purchase and the DAC certainly does what it is supposed to in a simple and clean matter! Easy plug-and-play.

Configurable DAC mode availability for the USB input on the LA-QXD1, this widens the compatibility of the unit significantly, to the integrated amp and separate-pre crowd, I think it is an excellent decision.

Could you keep us up-to-date with progress on this, @Ben1987 ?
