No, most of the time i used to listen to 44.1 and 48khz, i will try and share my experienceGood luck - I suspect you will need it.
Have you tried playing music at different frequencies through it ?

Less than stellar support is something which comes with ChiFi, and should be factored in before purchase, unfortunately.Looks like i'm banned in google - lol, did not saw this page, thank you, will write about the unit there. About the way i talk, sorry for i don't want to offend someone. Just very angry about this situation, thank you for response and advice!

In fact, I have already quietly said goodbye to my money, since from my communication with the seller it seemed to me that I should not rely on anything.Less than stellar support is something which comes with ChiFi, and should be factored in before purchase, unfortunately.
Are you saying the problem is with me or my equipment? Please answer the question - why then connected today to the same chain: denafrips ares 2 dac or allo revolution dac does not have this issues? and only m400 have? Could you please clarify your point of view? Looks like something personal goes through this issue with m400As the above example shows the latest purchase gets the blame even though the problem is invariably with the customer or his equipment.

We don't really know the source of the problem, and unfortunately there is no phone number for the manufacturer one can call if there is a problem.Are you saying the problem is with me or my equipment?

Not yet, i'm currently testing denafrips ares 2 dac, smsl was packed to the box, a tried to fix this issue for full three days and i tired. Later i will check this. Maybe language barrier was the case of understanding your post.Though you seem convinced there is a problem with the DAC input, even though two people on here have implied it is more likely a problem with the PC output, switching from Skype to You Tube to Foobar.
Have you tested music with different frequencies yet ?
Ok, i understand, but from my point of view, in case when two dacs work's properly without glitches of freezes and the third make sound stream - freeze, i think there is the issue with the dac, that is my understanding of things.We don't really know the source of the problem, and unfortunately there is no phone number for the manufacturer one can call if there is a problem.
Maybe somebody from SMSL official contact persons are here, please assist.
Thank you for reply, this case sounds more realistic, i will try - thanks!@Vilikovvv try a different amplifier. My m400 is connected directly to a tpa3251 without any buffer (just DC blocking caps) and it drives it to fault condition on every rate change. I suspect a buffer would absorb whatever junk the dac spews on clock changes but if your amp doesn't have one it could be the amp that's not producing sound.

but this one behaves not the same way as others
From my point of view, situation is simple, i own different windows based pc's, and there is no issues with other devices, even smsl m8a worked properly in this scenario, but this one behaves not the same way as others, make me reboot the dac 7-10 times per day, through these three days of use i tried multiple settings with no luck. Issue reproduce every time when dac switch between sampling rates(44.1 and 48khz)And after that you think that the problem in customer, sorry to hear that. I think very important to be honest in this case, if you are developer of this thing, it's ok. In first post i specified that i ready to send evidences and details to private messages, but no luck... no one asked for that... ah, never mind, sorry for disturbance.
Could it be that the M400 has an AKM 4499 DAC chip which is non oversampling ?

Did you use the Thesycon ASIO driver provided by SMSL ?
Looks like quality assurance engineer from smsl: good level of device issue knowledge Thank you for reply and investigation. Lock by your steps to reproduce appears with denafrips ares too, my case with m400 is different. This case looks like - as designed, my scenario looks as like an absurd. I will move unit to local repair service center next week, i will share the conclusion here. Thanks all of your for response! Im tired of suffering with unit and let professionals see what is the problem and fix it. Currently im using ares 2 which sounds good and experience no issues with usability, hope this experience will not changeScienced the hell out of it.
Yes i used the drivers provided by both SMSL and Questyle not some generic one.
