Where do all these audio companies come from? Never heard of them.

[ekjellgren]

You should do a poll with your audience how many prefer separates to combined products. Would be interesting to see. I know which camp I'm in :)

[shawnpwatsons]

I can't wait till you get your hands on a SU-X and compare with SU-10 and JC Acoustics.

[gabech]

How does it compare to Aune S9C ? I know different class of Dac/Amp but price to performance how do they stack up ?

[jawo]

Hey. I am looking for warm sounding dac. The budget is around 1k $. What can you recommend? I was thinking about nuprime dac9.

[CovertOperative]

perhaps you should be reviewing new washing machines as all of yours t shirts have shrunk!

Interesting product. Good review!

Yes, 30, 000 ųF in a DAC power supply is indeed a lot.
My linear power supply for my amplifier has 40, 000 ųF (ELNA) and that box is at least twice the size.

Thx for another great review Srboljub..👍 Is this AIO suitable for IEMs? (no background noise, enough volume space..?)

[naren.freakc]

Can you do a video on New IanCanada's flagship DIY dac with ultracapicitor power supply. I'm really interested in that one.

[AttilaBalla]

THX for the review! How good it is as a premp? It would be good to see the measurements of this unit in ASR.

[fearwolfbrewery]

You should review the Musical Paradise MP-DX. Not any reviews in English yet at Youtube. A tube dac with upgradeable tubes, caps and clock! And an inbuilt Raspberry Pi can be used as a streamer.

The life of an electrolytic capacitors relates to the operating temperature. Generally, there are two different capacitor grades, standard +85°C and extra-long life +125°C. So, the life of the equipment is influenced by the internal temperature within the enclosure. The internal image shows a bank of electrolytic capacitors near the heatsink of the linear voltage regulator. These parts will see a temperature rise due to the load current drawn by the DAC circuitry. There are groups of capacitors near the heatsinks for the headphone amplifier (4-off Texas Instruments TPA6120A chips). This is a current-feedback AB amplifier and the heatsink will get hot. The temperature rise is determined by the headphone loading and at normal level should be okay. I suspect the optional fan is for the user who wish to run the full 7500mW output.

Another new Chinese company nobody has ever heard of. They also have an UDP-5 the only difference I could see so fast is the chip. ESS9039Q2M. It is just $750

[sonyairxl]

As always: very nice review! But please let your audience once more learn the rest of your reference system (dac, pre/power amps, speakers, cables etc) Thanx!

[marekk]

Por 1100 - solo - bastante bueno?... Hay Muy buenos por mitad de precios... Por favor, podrías hacer una comparativa lis dac, s con amplificador de auriculares en rango de precio de 500€??

[garymalone]

Looks great value, but I prefer components to do one job each.

[metinfps]

Thank you for review. Have you heard Cen Grand dsd dac?

[teachonlywhatiseasy]

do you own a ABX device? are you willing to get one if not?

[johncallaghan]

Sounds like a great deal if you're after both a DAC and a headphone amp. But as I hardly ever listen on headphones, it would only be for me if I didn't have a Gustard R26. BTW, would you be able to say how the DAC section of the UDP-6P compares with the Gustard?

[zzezzobike]

Hi 😀 this could be an alternative to RME, what do you think? Can RME be still the one ?
