So the shop on ali contacted me that its a preorder and lots of sudden orders(i was the 4th one but whatever) so i need to wait around 15 more days for shipping.
SMSL is known to send garbage usb cables that is either DOA or only works on one side.USB-C is just a connector, not a standard for USB cables. The D1 only has a USB 2.0 port, so you only need a USB 2.0 cable.
Probably the same thing the SU-1 received shortly after launch.My YouTuber friend received a new XMOS update firmware for the D1 he received from SMSL for review. It is unclear what the improvements are.
To be honest, I haven't heard of anything like this, not here in the forum, nor among friends and acquaintances, where there are many SMSL DACs.SMSL is known to send garbage usb cables that is either DOA or only works on one side.
more like they have too much bugs coming back from first buyers that are as usual treated like beta testersSo the shop on ali contacted me that its a preorder and lots of sudden orders(i was the 4th one but whatever) so i need to wait around 15 more days for shipping.
5 people get to pre-order before the D1 got pulled from aliexpress and linsoul. The store i bought it from is supplied by linsoul so its logical.more like they have too much bugs coming back from first buyers that are as usual treated like beta tester
It is believed that the product was requested by the manufacturer based on the review text. It's simply a product introduction.Here is the only review i could find https://moonstarreviews.net/smsl-d1-dac-r
This DAC is so doesn't exists that ASR is the first result that shows up for D1 and then the SMSL site.
The D1 is available and can be ordered in the SMSL Shop, on HiFi-express and Amazon.the SMSL D1 is discontinued ( that is what linsoul told me when i asked them why they no longer sell it), so either it was too bad (too many returns) or it was too good for the pricewe will soon see if smsl producel a higher priced dac with this rohm dac chip
unfortunately this review is the usual audiophile BS ( "overall sound profile is characterized by a balanced and natural presentation. It avoids artificial enhancements, aiming for an honest and faithful reproduction of the original recording") that can very much be out of chatgpt on any dac, no comparison, no in depth testingHere is the only review i could find https://moonstarreviews.net/smsl-d1-dac-review/
Typical SMSL, unfortunatelyAccording to the information I got, there is a problem with the touch button operation and firmware of D1, so it is currently not on sale, but it seems that an improved version will be on sale soon. However, it is unclear whether the problem has been completely solved.
So i have a 70€ paperweight coming my way which i cannot return or request a refund as the listing is pulled. Maybe your youtuber friend can share the updated firmware he got for the D1 as a last resort.According to the information I got, there is a problem with the touch button operation and firmware of D1, so it is currently not on sale, but it seems that an improved version will be on sale soon
A weird excuse for denying your consumer rights.i cannot return or request a refund as the listing is pulled
Its good old aliexpress. Returning it would cost me way more than 70€.A weird excuse for denying your consumer rights.
