no, not because of one faulty unit,,,it's because of smsl reply, even they didnt receive defective unit and checking what's wrong with it, they blame the user just not to pay return shipping.really? because of ONE faulty unit ?
what're your last opinions comparing to internal dac of denon avr? i'm also thinking of getting a Marantz PM7000N with internal AKM4490 Dac and as far as i see, Marantz dac section has quite great components like Elna silmic II capacitors, high grade resistors etc,,,comparing to smsl 300 internals.I bought this DAC and have not been impressed but maybe I’m doing something wrong. I am using my iPad Pro and the Tidal app to send Master and HIFI tracks to the SMSL using a USB-C to USB Hub and then plugging in the USB cable that came with the SMSL to connect to my USB Hub and the SMSL. Then I am using RCA cables from the SMSL to my new Denon x3700 Receiver. For some reason using the HEOS app directly streaming to the Denon sounds better than trying to go hardwired through the SMSL. I thought the SMSL would sound better... Is it the way I have it hooked up or settings on the SMSL??
Here’s how I have it all connected
Tidal app on iPad Pro -> USB Hub -> SMSL -> Denon x3700
if you dont want to understand it's your problem but translation and intention of smsl is crystal clear in this case. SMSL also claim they check all units which was proven to be wrong by some other claims with different smsl products.Some folks here received doa units.Surprising thing is smsl clearly claim the user without even inspecting the defective unit.I don´t even understand the Alibaba translate. It´s weird. It´s just a very bad translation.
May it be....so don´t buy the unit but don´t try to start a shitstorm over that questionable case.
Because if you want to....you could read that the unit was damaged by user.
Burnt out components....fast charge.....it all fits together and the horrible translations is just weird.
You can change the color of the text. I find the blue quite calming.I ordered one of these and it came today. I was holding off in case anything better came along, and the day after I ordered it out comes Amir's review of the Topping D30 pro.
I prefer the idea of a real volume knob and I already find the display annoying. I tried measuring using Rightmark on my MOTU2 I am only getting an SNR and Dynamic range of 96 dB vs my old Nuforce uDac 3 getting 107 db Dynamic range and 105 dB SNR although distortion measurements are much better. Subjectively listening it sounds too bassy, but measures flat. The fact that my April Music Eximus DP1 measures the same makes me think that the Motu may be the limiting factor here. I was planning to replace the Eximus with this...
So questions do you think my measurements are limited by the Motu?
Can the display be dimmed or turned off?

Tiež uvažujem o získaní Marantz PM7000N s interným AKM4490 Dac a pokiaľ vidím, sekcia Marantz dac má celkom skvelé komponenty ako kondenzátory Elna silmic II, vysoko kvalitné rezistory atď., v porovnaní s vnútornými stránkami smsl 300.

Som majiteľom SMSL 300 a som veľmi spokojný. Mal som možnosť porovnať DAC v Marantzi .. Marantz je zlý vtip .. nuda, všetko, čo milujem, hudbu rôznych žánrov, zrazu zmizlo. A prečo ? jednoducho interný DAC je kompromis.
I bought Marantz PM7000N, it's internal dac sounds so wonderfull that i preferred it over PM8006+ND8006 sound. SMSL SA300's dac is a bad joke.[QUOTE = "fluxcapacitor, príspevok: 640291, člen: 24041"] aké sú vaše posledné názory v porovnaní s interným DAC v Denone AVR?
