I wonder about that too.What does the "original" profile do? I have seen descriptions of the tube/crystal/etc. but not what that one does.

I received am SMSL SU-8 I purchased from Amazon today and it is the latest version.
The power cable in the box had a European style plug for some reason. I had another power cable on hand so I used it instead.
Just started to listen to it but so far so good.
Weird, I have v2 and previously had v1 and never had this behavior at all, v1 had some clicks and pops while changing sample rate or input source.I ordered the SU-8 at the same time it was released. However, I could not forgive that the beginning of the song became a fade-in operation at the beginning of playback. If the leading silent part is long, the fade-in operation is not worrisome, but if it is short, the beginning part of the song is cut off and the atmosphere of music is damaged.
Is it improved in the new Ver.2?

My unit from Massdrop with “10th Anniversary" markings was hardware version 1.2 and included firmware version 1.3 so you should be good.I just ordered mine on Shenzhen Audio (directly on their site, fingers crossed...). Had no news for a couple of days, wrote to them, they say that it is Chinese New Year and that it will ship on the 11th. OK with me since I got a pretty meaty New Year discount (ended up paying 193€ with shipping). It should be the "10th Anniversary" edition (which I believe is the same as v1.2 but at least you don't have to open it to see if it is v1 or v1.2). I'll report here when it's in my hands and I had the opportunity to test it.

That would be a strange behavior for a DAC. Are you sure it is not your player?
Yes, it is the symptom of that street.I am experiencing the same thing. I play music through Strawberry player on Linux, and whenever I change to a song with a different sample rate, I can hear the said "fade in". For example, on "Sunday at the Village Vanguard", I can not hear the very first chord on the record. Whereas, when I then play the song again, the fading does not occur, so it is definitely related to sample rate or bit depth changes. I work around it by clicking play twice in a row, so the song immediately restarts before actually playing back at all. It is annoying though...
