Really? When did you test it?It's really great. However, this product has a clicking issue at the beginning when playing music files on the Tidal. I don't know why, but I hope it will be updated soon.
Good job bro
Ouch, Yea my DX7 has degraded pixels... But I don't plan on selling it. After your comment I guess I'll keep it forever xDI took a beating selling a TEAC UD505 because of degraded pixels. It was 100% functional but I couldn't move it at anywhere near a reasonable price.
True, mostly they are more difficult to read. We need standards in every market.I would prefer an OLED if they used a standardized and easily replaceable part. LCD's are impossible to source replacements for since they are all custom even if they have a longer life. They are also much harder to read.
White oled is often cheaper and more available in the market.The OLED novelty has worn off. I think it's to the point of looking generic and disposable. I prefer LCD's because they last forever. Especially when it's only to display settings etc. It's not a high end television.
Damn that's lucky. I wanted to sell my sanskrit 10 but I decided that giving away a good functional DAC for maybe 60€ wasn't worth it.What a price growt! So I was lucky to get the DO100 for 185€ one month ago...

That is $240 which is more than the dx3.Smsl DO100
Probably.Why did SMSL decide to use a figure-8 power cable on this model? To shave a few cents off the BOM?
That looks like a broken display and not just some faded pixels.
The pixels Fade Out Over time. The ones which are on all the time Fade Out and the other ones do not.That looks like a broken display and not just some faded pixels.
Ok, from what I can see it looks that these black lines are dead pixels (or a bad controller / zebra strip ? ), but that is I just what I think it looks like.The pixels Fade Out Over time. The ones which are on all the time Fade Out and the other ones do not.
There are actually two AKM AK4493S chips.The chip is the new AKM AK4493S.
Windowfilm, headlight tint... Have you tried anything like it? Often stores will send you samples for free, it's fully reversible. May be a good option to alter a white display.I vote for more use of red 8x8 LED matrix in simple applications and back to red LEDs, NO to OLED and blue/white LEDs on new gear !
Red is easier on the eyes.
There's been discussion on this DAC since early June...Really? When did you test it?
How about one that just contains more pixels so that it can be read more clearly when clicked on & zoomed in?Interesting suggestion. In such a graph, you wouldn't be able to see and identify the rest of the products. You are OK with that?
I like this, very much (FWIW).I did a mock-up some time ago:
Proposal: New SINAD Ranking Design (Histogram)
Since its conception, the SINAD Ranking has grown from this: to this: Instead of just making the graph wider and wider with each addition, why not switch to a histogram:www.audiosciencereview.com
Read my post again.That’s for a Class I device. This DAC is a Class II device.
Then IEC 60320 c5 makes more sense then IEC 60320 c13Sure having a PE for functional grounding can be beneficial.
but in this cases there shuld be a "ground lift switch" (common on pro pa/studio gear)
I’m pretty sure they are cold white. Even some of the blue LEDs can fade over time. Whether it fades or not is down to how hard they are driving them, and what the duty cycle is. Someone stated the intensity can be controlled in the menu, so that can help tend the life of the display a good bit if it’s turned down. But if they use cheap LED displays they can fade FAST. Can see this on the LED based gas gage in the car. The LEDs indicating lower fill levels are already getting dimmer after a few years of use.Is that what these LEDs are? They look blue in the photo. I'm anti-OLED or anything that fades or has burn-in. I'm also anti-plastic TRS jack.
I don't have all the pictures, but the dead pixels perfectly match "COAX 1" which was my primary input. It was only 2 years old. I'll be avoiding OLED displays from now on.Ok, from what I can see it looks that these black lines are dead pixels (or a bad controller / zebra strip ? ), but that is I just what I think it looks like.
Controller or strip contact problems should show up more like horizontal or vertical straight lines, so I do not know, maybe it is spread out pixel fading.
The faded displays I have seen have faded all over or suffered from burn-in, not just by some random faded/dead lines. But of course, I have not seen them all, so ok.
