One was just offered for review!

Yes, I saw this. So I really hope you can review it soon. Could be an alternative to the 789 THX.

Chord Dave and better linked with M scaler

 

[speedbad]

the new TOPPING DX3 PRO V2 (2*4493EQ) for see improvements with V1

 

[moni]

New released Creative AE-9

 

[777]

SMSL M500, NuPrime 10H DAC.

90-100dB THD+N is acceptable for something that's not purpose built since the noise floor at my desk is fairly high. Could always use the apple USB-C dongle for an extra few dB!

Be careful with the dongle.
The performance is only valid for the specific model Amir tested.
I bought one to try and it is FAR under those figures.

Can you specify which one did you buy?

IDEON AUDIO AYAZI MK2

most exciting measurement is chord dave

Powerdac V2

 

[Veri]

Powerdac V2

There are some from the manufacturer. About equal power output (up to ~3.5Vrms) as E1DA 9038, more THD due to the PWM/non-chip-based design. But the PowerDAC comes with DSP/EQ features which is cool. I have one on order

Powerdac is completely different from 9038. Different architecture, different chips

Matrix Element M, please...

Matrix Element M, please...

What is the difference between M and X that I reviewed already?

 

[skipost-it]

Hi Amir,
Element M is the newest model All in One from Matrix Audio, balances price/performance and functionality when compared to the X. ($1000 cheaper) in same CNC construction.
Not have as many inputs as the Element X, with 9028PRO DAC.
The Element M is a DAC, streamer and player with a powerful headphone Amplifier too. What about SINAD?

 

[amirm]

Thanks. I will ask @MatrixAudio for a review sample.

Matrix Audio Element P is an all-in-one Network Player/DAC/Amp

Some specs from their website:

Output Power: 230W@4Ω, 110W@8Ω (1%THD+N)

COAXIAL & OPTICAL PCM 16-24Bit /44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHzDSD 2.8MHz (DoP)

USB Audio PCM 16-24Bit /44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHz, 352.8kHz, 384kHz, 705.6kHz, 768kHz
DSD 2.8MHz, 5.6MHz, 11.2MHz (DoP)
DSD 2.8MHz, 5.6MHz, 11.2MHz, 22.4MHz (Native)

I think that one looks more interesting than the Element M, in case you can't request both units for review!
