    Singxer SU-1 Owners

        Hello,   and thank you for your interest. The changes are numerous, in a nutshell : EMI filter, more capacitance, better regulation. In the end, better sound as said before and I can hear this upgrade even with USB isolator/reclocker (i.e. Intona / Schitt).   The cost is 150 Euros...

    Singxer SU-1 Owners

    Hello, A few words about my SU1 that went for a tweak by ROSE Audio. As you can see, the PSU is completely new and the tweak is quite huge. Most important is the sound … and it rocks ! Black background is better, more refinement with better details, more “meat” and re-enforced organic...

    XMOS XU208 USB BRIDGES - THE LATEST GEN HAS ARRIVED!

    Hello,   I have tried to understand which item would be a benefit in addition to the SU-1. What I have understood is that the SU-1 is a good reclocker and prodives good output to the DAC thanks to its linear supply and output isolation. Now it lacks galvanic isolation on the USB input.   I...

    XMOS XU208 USB BRIDGES - THE LATEST GEN HAS ARRIVED!

    Hello,   About the outputs, In my mind the quality hierarchy would be : Optical < Coax-BNC < AES/EBU < I2s     Now I'm wondering about the following : The SU-1 has usb isolation so guess there would be no benefit to add usb isolator but what about "reclocking" add-on ... - Does it worth...

    XMOS XU208 USB BRIDGES - THE LATEST GEN HAS ARRIVED!

    hi, Using the Su-1 since 3 days, don't know whether the burn-in is finished or not but the sound is still improving and already amazing. This is really a big step up over U8. To me those usb interfaces really make the difference in pc digital music, maybe as important as changing for an...
