Which DAC measurements do you like to see next?

[Alex-D]

Review became a bit less useful just as with any no longer produced item.

Still there is a high chance line outs are exactly the same so review is still relevant for v2 that you can easily buy.

Project S2+. Wonder if this measures any better than their Pre S2?

Hi @amirm ,do you still plan to review Solo Gen3 or those driver issues are just too much?

I have spent many hours on it with no luck. Have one more thing to try though (use a different computer)....

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

Hi Amir, finally what device from Matrix Audio are you waiting to review? Element M or P ?

 

[skipost-it]

Maybe a review to the great Streamer from Pro-Ject: Pro-Ject Stream Box S2 Ultra

Alex, worth checking https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...nal-thoughts-of-the-focusrite-solo-gen3.9101/ until Amir will swap the computer and find some time to hook-up the AP equipment.

Seems a reasonable audio card for use in a small/home studio or simply for podcasting. The THD+N is pretty close to 100dB, so good enough for most people; just need an Atom or Magni3 or some small & decent headphones amplifier, because the built-in one will only drive sensitive headphones.

Fiio BTR3 using LDAC if possible.

Usb only supports 16 bit so is going to be limited anyway.

I don't know. You all confused them with which one is more interesting to send.

That was sent to me but will be a bit before I have time to review it.

did the smsl m500 ever show up?

Actually more have said about P.

So it's Matrix element P

It did not.

 

[Kane1972]

M300 and M500 we need measuring. I thought someone was supplying those?

 

[mkawa]

smsl said they would send an m500 but it seems they didn't or haven't yet; apos' listing for the m500 says that the first production run is only 200 units so that may be why. although, if someone can contact apos to provide a loaner unit, they have 20 in inventory.

someone did say they would send an m300 iirc but it seems that hasn't happened.

The M500 is both in stock on Apos or @Audiophonics. But also on Amazon via Shenzen Audio, on Aliexpress etc. I don't think SMSL wouldn't have some unit to loan and I widely doubt about these "200" units only...

The sOtM sDP-1000EX. This is a good company with solid engineering. I love my sMS-200 Neo.
