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

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...- 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. I...- Padawan38

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...- Padawan38

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.

Hello, Reading interesting things here about the master clock usage. My DAC doesn't have I2S input (I use the AES/EBU) but it has a master clock one. Do you think using the Master clock output from the SU-1 connected to the DAC is an improvement ? Asking the question because today I...- Padawan38

Hello, Interesting reflexion. What is "strange" is the added value VS DAC usb input. Is it because most of the time USB input is not correctly implemented on DAC's ? Thx- Padawan38
