Topping M50 digital music player
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...- kdub

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.- kdub

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.- kdub

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...- kdub

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.- kdub

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...- kdub

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...- kdub

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- kdub

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.- kdub

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...- kdub

but does it reduce the amount of available power going into each amp? Because the dac is sending analogue signals out to the amps.- kdub

How are you splitting the digital signal from the RME to the two amps exactly? I think the RME only has one xlr output.- kdub

Nice setup. Are you using Amazon HD directly on website or is there a dedicated app? So the Denafrips Ares II pairs well with the SA-1? I am considering upgrading the dac or getting a second one being R2R and Denafrips Pontus/Ares II is circled for consideration.- kdub

Thanks for more comparison info on this. The Stellia are quite resolving so maybe something with more fuller body would be a nice pair like the SA-1. Yeah not sure I want to add more lean sound into the chain. Just ordered an Allo USBridge Signature Player streamer last night to add to the...- kdub

Other than wide soundstage do you hear any other sonic superiority from Soloist 3XP vs SA-1? This was my other strong consideration when ordering the Singxer.- kdub

For your 300 ohm hp it should be enough power on low gain and low Z. Spend more time on this to see.- kdub
