Just got a Soncoz SGD1 to replace my SMSL Sanskrit 10th which is a well measuring dac in itself. I changed because the smsl did not have the kind of controls i wanted and the remote needs to cycle inputs not directly select.
And boy i am happy i got it. The sound improved a lot to me, although the difference between them should be inaudiable by sinad. It could be in my mind or ears ofc.
Although the controls are good, the visual feedback is not, the screen of the smsl while small gave a lot of info especially bit rates which are important to debug your audio chain.
The looks are not that good and the case does not feel that luxurious, the look of the Sanskrit was better but this is not to say that is is cheaply made, the case seems sturdy and heavy.
This dac unlike the SMSL feels slightly warm to the touch when left always on.
