I cannot notice any latency over USB.

Thank you. Btw - still eager to hear your final review of the Cayin.

Just wanted to give an update on the broken Invicta. So far Hans Looman does not responded to two Emails. So no help from there. I tried to understand if the FPGA is programmable by using the internal socket seen below (picture from upper and lower side of the board). So far I was not able to...

Ok I keep up my hopes then. Maybe he can help me after all. Btw: I read your thread on the Cayin. Hope you finish your full review when you have the time. If you allow: Is there anything you didn't like about it? Besides size :wink:

Thank you Project86 I can actually get a Cayin to try from a local distributor. Still have to check if I can also get a RME to compare. The Cayin is huge, but if it does the job well this is secondary. So far I have not gotten any response from Hans Looman. I will give him some time, but I...

I just switched to my old Yulong D100II as a backup. Omg this is so different. Slept in the drawer for years, since I had the Invicta. Ok unfair to compare a 300-400dollar dac to a 4000dollar one. But really... Not as resolving, different soundstage, just straight in the face. @project86 I...

Thank you friends for your help. I contacted Audio Concierge and was also referred to Hans Looman. I sent him an Email a few hours ago and am still waiting for his reply. My personal thoughts for a fix would be the following: Inside the Invicta there is a port beside the FPGA(Spartan 6) which...

Thank you for this interesting lead. I just wrote an email to audioconcierge. I will let you know, if they can help. I will definitely take a look the RME. Do you have it? How does it compare to the Invicta or Mirus?

I just found this thread because my Invicta broke tonight. I guess there is still no one capable of repairing it? First the Invicta started to turn it self off after a few minutes (relay clicked off). I was able to turn in on again, but the menu was not working correctly. After another start it...

Hello After getting my KGSSHV done (besides front plate), I wanted to convert my 727 to 230V.   I manage to tap into the cut transformer winding, no problem. But I somehow don't understand how this transformer is wound and which wires need to go where on the voltage board. Could someone tell...

Thanks for this review. I newly got the SR009 and the SRM727. I am currently building a KGSSHV and after your review I am even more eager to hear it!!! I'll be using the Invicta as a DAC. I hope this will be my endgame setup.

I noticed a problem after updating to 5.2. Now I cannot turn the unit off anymore by pushing the rotator wheel for a few seconds. It only turns off via remote. Anyone else have the same issue?   Additionally I find it quite strange, that now the display lights up in steps after turn on. 

Answer to self:   Tried the same using the SD Card. Light is on playing DXD too. So it's a bitrate indicator, which I find quite strange. I don't like red lights.   Btw: Would anyone else consider it useful if the invicta was able to natively play .ape via sd card?

I have updated my Invicta to 5.0 and DSD128 and DXD seem to work - sometimes. Still have some strange problems with foobar output.   My question to anyone else who has tried this is, if the red usb underflow indicator also turns on, when playing dsd128 or dxd. I wonder if they "mis"used it...

Quote: Besides it's great news that the original Invicta will get the dsd128 and dxd support too.
