@monsterbill this is the one I saw recommended in this thread, has the new adum4166 isolation chip and after the chip, there's a reclock stage. comes in a black acrylic case. I have one on order for testing. I think it comes with a 9V wall wart smps...

did the hdmi i2s pinout on this device ever get fixed? I remember it wasn't compatible with most things when it first came out

Here's the pics I promised. My walnut dayzee really matches my walnut MNPCTECH isolation platform! I wonder who drew the star inside the wooden case? Hehe rachel geshelli? I've been having a little bit of issues with ground loop or USB noise with the dayzee so I went back to my eversolo until...

I ordered a new corsair rm1000x power supply too just in case my old corsair hx550 is the problem

it was even louder when I plugged my pc into the other socket. lol I'll just wait til my ifi gnd defender and idefender+ arrive. I have a feeling the gnd defender will do the trick.. and cheaper than building a new gaming pc

I COULD plug my pc into a different outlet... lol ok time to experiment

theabyss2022 what device do you think would fix it?

yes I tried my mouse in wired mode.. it did seem slightly less.. but it still happens even if I scroll the web page using up and down arrows on my keyboard.. this review of the ifi ground defender is what convinced me to order one.. he says it's caused by the graphics card, which seems to make...

guys I have a matrix x-hi pci-express usb card in my desktop pc, so you'd think I'd have pristine USB audio to my geshelli dac.. but when I scroll a web page I get high pitched mosquito noise coming from my speakers... I used to have hum when I plugged my preamp rca out to my subwoofer so I...

new review from Cheap Audio Man! sorry about my image links dying I'll replace them soon.. been having issues with my new preamp and ground loop, but it's semi off topic this clear case dayzee would look awesome next to the clear audio technica turntable...

woot, it's here and working.. using the SMPS.. will try my linear power supply later

mine is scheduled to arrive on monday! the only dac I have on hand to compare it to is an eversolo dmp-a6 master edition with beatechnik linear power supply inside. I'm not great at describing sound differences but I'll try

I got excited by you comparing those two cables since I already had the dharmasteve xinhs copper/silver one.. I noticed a bit of brightness with that cable so ordered the graphene 7n occ 4 core cable you linked and sure enough it does seem to somehow make the highs less bright while also...

I think my unit is pre the sockets so they said I could mail my opamps in for them to use during the build process. They were super nice! Also maybe direct solder sounds better than the sockets ;)

Oh man, so I already had the sparkos opamps.. I thought they'd include a socket for easy plug n' play. I emailed them and asked if I could mail in my opamps and pay a labor fee :( LOL yes I already have a 12V 2A linear power supply with 2.1/2.5mm inner hot barrel I plan to use. and some...

Thanks for creating the thread! Regarding the opamps, I ordered mine with opa1655 because I already have lots of ss2590 opamps.. I asked Sheri if it’s user upgradable and she said I should use 6 pin pro to dip8 mono adapters from sparkos. So I got those. Can you elaborate on why you had to...

sold for $350 to jkspaulding

the new Geshelli Dayzee dac. it's their first full sized component. I already put a deposit down for one with a custom walnut case and red led-ring buttons and red transparent panel in the lid. yes I bought it for looks :D it has a big screen on the front too

Dharmasteve thanks for that cable recommendation earlier in the thread I have single ended and balanced versions on the way..

Not yet.. should arrive any day now, tracking shows it's been in the usa 5 days already. I already have a balanced cable i can use with it, and I ordered that XINHA silver/copper mixed cable recommended about 10 pages back too.. but I'm sure that will take another 2 weeks to arrive.. this one...
