S.M.S.L RAW-MDA1

[staticV3]

I have Yamaha HS5 monitors, will the RAW-MDA1's 5.2V output of XLR be a problem? I noticed that usually all DAC/AMPs are at ~4

Yamaha do not specify max input voltage, so I don't know.

If 5.2V is too much, then you can always enable Pre mode and reduce the volume some.

Can any SMSL RAW MDA 1 users, send this to @amirm to review it ?

I'd expect almost the same as D6-s. Safe purchase other words

The maximum input of the YAMAHA HS5 is 24dBu. (The same meaning as 24dBv) 0dBu is 0.775V.

The input sensitivity is -10dBu (level position: maximum), +4dBu (level position: center)

I have no sound on my bluetooth headphones - the devices see each other, but there is no sound. I checked on three headphones via ipad and android. Can someone check it out?

BT on the DAC receives only, it doesn't send to other units

It doesn't seem SMSL are sending current units to Amir... either that or they're on "the shelf", but I'd say SMSL stopped.

It is the opposite. I must have a dozen SMSL devices here! Just so far behind. Review of this product will be out tomorrow.

That is very good news Amir, I am very curious and will look forward to your measurements to see if they will be as nice as they appeared to me.

@amirm's review is up for this;

SMSL RAW-MDA 1 DAC & Headphone Amp Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the SMSL RAW-MDA 1 stereo DAC and headphone amplifier. It was sent to me by SMSL and it is a collaboration with Shenzehenaudio (available elsewhere as well) and is on sale for $246. The first thing I noticed was the much more polished display. It is...

Its clearly a re-hashed/old design if they still include MQA. Pass. Good thing is the next one will be out in two weeks.
