I'm excited about this CD player, DAC, headphones amp. Anyone ordered one ?

I intend to use it with 7Hz Crinacle Zero2 and my Sabaj A10h for Sennheiser HD660.

Very cool. Can you disassemble it and send images of the stuff inside?

It has a motorized sled assembly. Could be a Sony or a Sanyo maybe.

I'm just wondering how the DSD come into play ie will it play dsd files from a phone ie the CD player act as a DAC ?

Yes, DSD works when used as a DAC.

Opening it up is definitely my thing but not before say 6 months.

I want to get balanced wires for my 7Hz just to get more power. Do you have any recommendations?

It has a USB audio input which accepts DSD, then output via 3.5mm & 4.4mm analog headphone jacks.

Yeah, probably something like a Sony X-2641-535-2 or similar.

Spinning MJ and Billie Eilish now..
With the 7hz Zero:2, I feel like the Discdream is an almost Sixer (out of the stadium) or Homerun if you play Baseball.

This is perfect so far but if they want to iterate then here are a few things that will make it a "nobrainer".

1. PEQ please (you have all the buttons, you'd just need a mode switch w.r.t buttons) or at least a 3 band EQ with a turnover frequency.

2. At least 1watt into 32 ohms in balanced configuration.

3. 2-3x battery capacity (7000-15000mAh)

4. Directly play SACDs in DSD down mixed to stereo (not really needed but nice to have).

5. May be a FLAC/WAV ripper like the Shanling CR60 ?

6. CD Text display.

This will make it a one stop solution for all the benchtop needs and I will be willing to pay upto 2.5x price.

Hi everyone, before I publish a review of this one, quick question for the community. Have you experienced a USB 8kHz PHY microframe packet noise when using the device as a DAC with a PC?

Also, strange thing is that I failed to make the device work with my usual Topping HS02 USB isolator. As I never had such an issue before, I wonder what error I could have possibly make?

Thanks.
