Curious how the DI-HE20 is compared to the Singxer SU-6

If you read this thread you will see everybody who had a Singxer says the DI-20 HE is noticeably better.

Anyone with a hdmi i2s cable recommendation? I use the silver one from Ali between the r7he mkii and di20he. Best i have tried so far.

I have purchased a silver cable on Ali that works very well in my opinion between DI20HE and Terminator dac.
But it is impossible to put the address here! (don't know why!)

Thanks. I have one such cable too or very similar. It works very well indeed. Just looking for even better. Not sure if it is worth looking, though.

May be but at what price? I had considered Afterdark HDMI but I don't know if it is better than the Ali silver.
The Ali is: "AVplay – câble Audiophile i2S/IIS DAC HD-300"
And the seller is Queenway Store

Yes this is the one i have. It is really good. I have one from Afterdark. But not their best. The avplay beats it. I do not want to spend too much on this for just a small upgrade.

I have the AVplay HD300 silver too, better then Audioquest pearl.
Last month I borrowed the Tubulus concentus i2s cable from my friend.
I have to say that this Tubulus silver cable is fantastic, better in every aspect then AVplay. It is thick and rigid.
But costs 650 Euro, too expensive. Tubulus has cheaper ones: Argentus and Libentus, not heard them.

I was lucky to get used Argentus for 50% discount . I would say it is a very great cable.

I also agree the AVplay HDMI cable is excellent. Takes a long time to break in.

Those are Canadian dollars for the 0.5m length. That's actually a nice length compared to my other 0.3m cable.

I just received my DI-20 about 2 weeks ago. It sounded great out-of-the-box. Then I started to run it overnight 24/7 to begin the burn-in process. The sound quality started to degrade. I could repower the DI-20 and the DAC and the sound would come back ... for a while. Then it would start to degrade again. I emailed Kingwas and he sent me instructions to upgrade/optimize the Amareno for my Linux server, I did as instructed and the system sounded great at first. But, eventually the sound started to degrade again. Now, I can't even get the sound to be good even if I repower everything,. My system is: Linux server>DI-20 (via USB)>DAC (mojo audio mystique v2+)> preamp/amp. I even tried my CD transport (which is Coax thru the DI-20 to coax again), and that sounds just as bad. Any advice?

The di20 needs over 700h of burn-in. Just be patient. Give it 2 additional weeks. At least. 2 weeks is far from enough.
