Can't you just ground it from the back outside the case?It's possible. I think VadimBN is right (message #477). But I don't feel like opening the device's case yet.
I ordered this:Can't you just ground it from the back outside the case?
The twin brother of SMSL AO300 - Loxjie A40 has such a possibility. But not AO300 itself. Unless you connect the ground wire to one of the screws holding the case together.Can't you just ground it from the back outside the case?
I use it every day on my desktop connected with USB to my Windows PC. 100% reliability for me, using it for 6 months now. It sound very transparant and shows every detail.I'm considering the AO300 & I have some questions for owners out there (no conjecture please):
1. Early on there was criticism of remote control operation. If the remote is used daily/hourly about 8ft away is the criticism still true?
2. Have the early audible bugs been sufficiently addressed by Aiyima thru software updates?
3. How has the reliability been? Have there been any hardware failures/returns during this first year.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, my dilemma, I already have an Echo Link streamer controlled from a Fire tablet, a system that works really well for Amazon Music Unlimited & Bluetooth radio stations. By Topping I assume you mean the E30 II or E30 ll Lite? I'd read its remote is finicky, a PITA, that is my alternate solution together with an existing power amp. Thoughts?1. Wiim remote better, topping worse.
2. I do not hear audible bugs.
3. It's been used daily in different systems for months without failure.
I think this is an underrated device but I'd probably get a Wiim amp instead next time.
I assume the Echo Amp is old tech, the AO300 is latest tech with the right mix of features at a reasonable price, that's why I'm attracted to it.So it's really just the remote that's the issue?
Maybe that's your question in a new thread, "which is the best headphone/desktop DAC remote?" It's not topping or SMSL I think.
What about the echo amp?
Wich volume are you using on the AO300 normal?Hello, guys.
My unit suddenly stopped working.
I opened it up an discovered some fried chip. Can't see the markings.
Could you, please, make a photo of yours?
It's beside the smsl print.
Thanks in advance.
I use mine every day at volume level 35 and it is a great device. Have bought it in the beginning of this year. Not a single problem.I've just ordered an AO300 so seeing a fried chip is disconcerting. Is the unit within warranty? If not, has SMSL responded? Have other AO300 or A300 owners experienced failures?
Please keep us in the loop with discussions with SMSL, thanks!
