So which display is larger, brighter and higher resolution between M50 or SD-9? I am hoping to use the M50 or SD-9 to play local audio files stored on my NAS (seems only the SD-9 has ethernet but Wifi on M50 is ok) and have it feed output to my DAC via I2S. Would you be able to comment to help...

Another review. This time from Soundnews. Watched a few of his previous reviews and like his work.

the SA-1 is a discrete design with resistors and capacitors. Burson uses op-amps. Not entirely sure of Burson design inside but this might be the reason.

Vs the Soloist 3XP the reviewer said the SA-1 is bit more richer and smoother. Soloist is bit more neutral and analytical. Glad I picked the SA-1 as these were my top choices and I do prefer more rich smooth sounds.

great comparison between Burson Soloist 3XP, SA-1 and Jot 2.

Have you guys watched this?

very tempted to try a R2R dac to hear what all the fuss is about too. Please report your results vs best delta sigma dac you have heard as a comparison. The Ares II or Pontus II got me very interested if it is need fuller body, more airy, natural and more organic sounding, wider sound stage as...

I do agree that the friction of turning with this knob is more stiff vs my existing THX AA 789 which require very little effort and also had a bigger knob. I do have to pinch a bit when turning the SA-1 knob but maybe with my smaller hands its not an issue for me.

I also received my SA-1 this week on Monday. Still trying to let it burn-in more. I would agree with your findings so far. The mids do sound fuller and bit forward. I need to do some A/B with my THX AAA 789 amp as well to determine if there is any reason to keep but so far I am liking the SA-1...

There should be a sonic difference but I'm not sure how much. Because the laptop/desktop computer circuitry is noisy vs dedicated audio streamers aiming for audio objective. That is what I hear and my motivation to change my chain setup. Also I hear that the Moose Audio player OS for the...

Very nice. Hope this streamer makes a sonic difference. Love to hear your initial feedback as you will probably receive it much sooner than me.

Yes from my understanding dedicated music streamers uses low jitter components or methods to reduce the noises from the ports. Link is for the one I ordered along with the upgraded Shanti power supply. https://allo.com/sparky/usbridge-signature-player.html

Thanks for the explanation. Didn't know there was such a product. I need usb input as my dac only decodes MQA via usb. So I guess the streamer option would be better in my chain.

I'm very curious about your chain setup. Is the SU-2 like a device to clean the usb noise before sending to the dac? Which output interface are you connecting SU-2 t the Bitfrost 2 dac? I don't see an usb out on the SU-2. I recently ordered an Allo USBridge Signature Player streamer but didn't...
