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...- Padawan38

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.
