    Tiny DAC, Big Sound, Evolved – Stoner Acoustics UD100 / UD110 / UD120

    I understand that there are issues of volume and resolution loss of digital SQ- the reason why an external amp is better than using digital volume control from a device. I think he achieved seemingly better resolution as you said by disabling the volume control - that's why there is an audible...

I prefer ESS chips on the whole hence my interest in the...

    Tiny DAC, Big Sound, Evolved – Stoner Acoustics UD100 / UD110 / UD120

    I compared the UD100 to the Hifimediy £19.99 Dac also has much better sq which is what I compared it to...I used dsd 1 bit rips both from up sampled CD/SACD I think the UD100 is a good product but no volume control from your device means you'd have to use an amp between > no amp or no volume...

    Toslink Cables..??

          But I agree the company shouldn't ship it without a better covering other than that the sound quality is vastly superior to other optical cables ! Mine above was fine after I covered and heat srinked it - no issues with strain support !
