In usb audio settings do you all have mqa enabled? What is that and is the sp100 actually playing mqa from tidal?

Agree with @szore great review. In the middle of reading it I had to take a break since my SP1000M arrived - the Lapis Blue version. In process of setting it up now! :ksc75smile::ksc75smile::ksc75smile:
Nice.

Just got the SPKM Onyx Black over the weekend.
Buyer’s remorse kicked in pretty fast but every time I plugged into it, the whole world just seems to melt away.

I’ve got a noob question though. Any credible sites to buy Chinese FLAC files?
Why buyers remorse?

Why buyers remorse?

‘Cos it’s darn expensive compared to the Onkyo DP X1 player I’ve been using for the last 3 years. But the moment you plug in and you hear the output, it’s all good.

Does anyone please tell me, How SP1000M sounds compare to AK70?

I have a 3 years old AK70 and I like it's sound. Recently thinking to upgrade to SP1000M if there is a noticeable difference in sound. I would be truly gratefully if you share a comparison, cause in my country I have no option to take a audition.

Hi. Could anyone give details explanation regarding sound signature's differences between SP1000M Lapis Blue and SP1000M Gold. Is it true that Gold is warmer. At the moment, I cant make an audition because of you know, covid-19. Thanks in advance

Yes, the gold is 'warmer', but I would prefer to describe it as 'thicker'; less air between the notes. The sound had a thick, syrupy quality to it that I did not like at all.
The 1000M has great detail, but myself and some others feel the upper mids are 'slightly' congested.
