Just a remark on this DAC.

  • They state MQA, but actual using it is a different balgame.
  • With a vast majority of MQA tracks, this DAC fails. It canā€™t perform the full encoding and start switching MQA off/on/off/ā€¦
  • They have decide that itā€™s nice to have the LCD screen on all time, which results in a LCD burn in.
  • Support is not on par. Filed complaints more than a year ago. On the MQA part => nothing they can do. On LCD part => Silence. (Raised a support request again)

Carefull with that one connected to raspberry pi with volumio.
Iā€™ve managed to burn one of the clocks three times by playing tracks of 44,1 or multiples followed by 48 or multiples (or vice-versa). The first times it occurs, it just makes some noise, and a power cycle resets it. But eventually it would stop working.
A pitty, as I loved the sound, specs and form factor.
Support from the retailer was good, they changed or repaired the unit every time, until Iā€™ve decided that was enough and trade it for another model.

With the Pre Box S2 Digital, i use a SPDIF Cabel. I bought a Hifiberry Digi2 Pro.

Who updates the TOC? It appears a bit out of date compared to whatā€™s been listed.
I know two of mine arenā€™t listed int he TOC.

#258

Nobody, the community member who used to do this does not visit the forum very often anymore.

Updated the list. To be honest, this will happen occasionally as itā€™s a very time consuming thing to do.

Yes, I figured itā€™s time consuming. Easy enough to search :slight_smile:

I was surprised about this when I first heard about it over a year ago. Itā€™s a side affect of supporting MQA and it applies to a lot of MQA DACs.
