Does the E1DA 9038D consume more battery than the 9038S?
Can anyone tell if there are any differences in sound between the two?

My #9038 stack and PowerDAC V2
I don’t think there’s any model x yetWhere I can buy the 9038X ?
comparison please,
9038s vs Lotoo S1 ?
thank you so much,
My #9038 stack and PowerDAC V2
Wow
Wow... Which one you like most?
Where did you get the heatsink for the PDV2? Are you able to leave it on all the time?
Pretty cool! If you haven’t already, you might want to post over on the ASR website as you may find others there as well who could give feedback and suggestions.Today I received the E1DA 9038D, it took only 8 days to get from China to Spain, quite a record!
I listened to it a bit and then made some measurements. I am not completely satisfied with them. When empty it reaches almost 3V. I tried with a resistance of 15 Ohms and almost gave the 120mW specified, my measurements gave 110mW, not bad. However, at 33 Ohms it was not so good. The best measurement, with no visible distortion, gave about 2.1V at 1kHz. Turning up the volume, the curve became saturated. I checked if the measurement was consistent with another multimeter, which even measured less voltage. Well, I will rely on my small and cheap oscilloscope. But 2.1V gives 130mw and not 180mW specified (that would be 2.4V).
Of course, the measurement was stable over the entire audible range, which confirms that the frequency response is flat even at the limit of its power.
The measurements were made with the Tweak_9038D_C.hex firmware and with the 9038D configured at 0dB.
Is there something wrong with my measurement methods? I don't know...
Yes, thank you for the recommendation, perhaps it would be more appropriate.Pretty cool! If you haven’t already, you might want to post over on the ASR website as you may find others there as well who could give feedback and suggestions.
it is certainly appropriate here! Just thought I might point you there since you may also find some help from them as well!Yes, thank you for the recommendation, perhaps it would be more appropriate.

I have the mojo and sold out the e1da. Despite being similar on spec, sound wise they sound vastly different. E1da has a neutral presentation with even frequency response. But it lacks body in midbass like odac or the topping dacs. Mojo is more detailed, has tones more of micro details. Instrument separation is similar on both. E1da slightly has wider soundstage. The mojo is noticeably more 3D. Layering of instruments and timbre of instruments is spot on. But highs are bit rolled off. To me the immediately noticeable quality of mojo is it’s very smooth analogue like sound. No digital glare of any kind. Just like listening to a vinyl. This is unlike of any dac possible under 500 bucks. Measurements won’t tell you this. Just lend a mojo and E1da from someone. Mojo is no way beaten by it. It’s good for the price but nowhere near as mojoUpon reading up on both Mojo and E1DA, I might just go for the E1DA. Just waiting on amirm over at audiosciencereview to properly test it.
Still, if someone happens to have paired Andromedas with any of the E1DA models, I'd be happy to hear about your experience.
Imo that's ironic though. Mojo is as digital as it gets. FPGA-programmed up/oversampling, with gate-array powered D/A conversion. Nothing analogue about that, hahaTo me the immediately noticeable quality of mojo is it’s very smooth analogue like sound. No digital glare of any kind. Just like listening to a vinyl.
