My replacement unit (with the fix) just arrived today, thank you
@SHENZHENAUDIO.
I did notice a very subtle change between my old unit and the new one, which may or may not indicate if a given unit has the fix. My old unit had what seemed to be a bug with brightness control (turning brightness all the way down with the remote would literally turn the screen off). The new unit doesn't have such issue and the lowest brightness setting is clearly visible and won't turn the small screen off. I'm glad they fixed this small bug.
Firmware versions remain the same on both units (HW: 1.0, SW: 1.2, USB: 2.06). USB-wise both units are 100% identical, or at least
lsusb -v
output is. For the time being, there's no way to tell if the issue is fixed because everything is 99% exactly the same.
Serial numbers are:
Old unit: DAC22184
New unit: DAC63137
@SHENZHENAUDIO would you be so kind to tell us which serial numbers are affected and which ones are otherwise
fixed? Thank you.
I'll eat my own words about what I said about SMSL. Also huge shout-out to
@amirm , I don't think any of this would've happened without him. Hope y'all guys get your units fixed!
