The volume is fixed from the SPDIF out.
I use it to feed my Genelec Ones, using a Neutrik impedance adaptor, but adjust the volume using the Genelec GLM volume control. It works great like that
With the SGD1, is the SPDIF digital out fixed volume or can it be adjusted using the volume knob/remote?
XLR Balanced and RCA single-ended outputs can be used together.Quick question: I notice that with a different Soncoz product it wasn't recommended to use both analogue RCA and XLR outputs simultaneously. Is that also the case for the SGD1? I was intending to use XLR out to a power amp and RCA out to a subwoofer.
Do you know if yours is one of the very early ones where they had to manually re-solder in order to fix ESS IMD hump?I noticed that there aren't any measurements for the SGD1 post IMD hump fix, so i sent my unit to Golden One for measurement and here are the results. These seem to correspond with those posted by Purr1n at https://www.superbestaudiofriends.o...ncoz-sgd1-vs-geshelli-jnog.10955/#post-347268 . Seems like the IMD hump fix has resulted in worse SINAD performance.

Is this ess imd hump fix needed only on this dac, or also on la qxd1 as well?Do you know if yours is one of the very early ones where they had to manually re-solder in order to fix ESS IMD hump?
Was for both. And have been fixed since the early batches.Is this ess imd hump fix needed only on this dac, or also on la qxd1 as well?
Ok thank you. Was wondering if the fix really made the sinad worse in both dacs....Was for both. And have been fixed since the early batches.
I have no idea.Ok thank you. Was wondering if the fix really made the sinad worse in both dacs....

It is not. I have pictures of the inside. Board says SGD1 V23 2019 12
If you carefully check circuit pics of the review units (you can refer to the Audio-Monkeys site) and of the commercially available units, you would spot some differences in power filtering caps. Maybe that would contribute to explain Sinad differences (btw, what is Sinad of the post hump fix sample ?).
Caps are 220, 2200, 2200, like in the post fix circuit diagram.
It's for sample testing.Nichicon 6800
The mass production is ELNA, and the performance and price of this ELNA are higher than that of Nichicon before.Elna 3300
Dont think it did with the QXD1. The ones measured by Wolf and Amir didn't have the hump when they first measured it and still had 115dB sinad. So unless they were golden samples, this is just an issue with the SGD1.Ok thank you. Was wondering if the fix really made the sinad worse in both dacs....
