It's a shame that SMSL didn't keep the 2 coaxial inputs and the 2 optical inputs of the budget version. So I only give it the good grade. I wonder about the usefulness of having 2 usb inputs. Personally, I don't like USB-C on this kind of device because I think it's mechanically more fragile than USB B. But this may be a misconception. In any case. Thanks to Amir for this review.
Hello, may I ask why you need two OPT and two COA input interfaces? Is it kept as a backup interface or will the interface really not be enough? What devices will these interfaces actually connect to?
 
Chazz6: Yeah, the RME also has bass, treble, and loudness controls, but you better not use them, cuz you might damage your speakers ... or trigger a fire in the battery of your electric car.


Lux Maldini: Hello, may I ask why it caused a fire?

Guess I forgot to enclose the remark in <sarcasm> </end_sarcasm>
 
Can i bother owners to check whether there's any settings in the menu to change from uac 2.0 to uac 1.0 or something similar like usb mode 2.0 to usb mode 1.1?

Thanks in advance!
