What you need to do is have music on pause and try the amp at full volume.
That's what I'm doing. I'm not hearing anything coming out of my 1266 at full volume. Currently have an su-9 plugged in via xlr. With a mini PC (a MeLE fanless) feeding the su-9 via USB.

anyone know what pinout the Sagra uses for i2s? I know its not the same as holo (tried that already), but other than that I'm lost

This is the pinout of the sagra. What are you trying to connect it to?

I'm trying to hook it to a su-2 KTE
Using the switches on the bottom of the SU-2 I would try the following:

1 on
2 off
3 off
4 off
5 off
6 test both but start with off
7 test both but start with off
8 off
9 on
10 on

Abyss sent me a different view of the Sagra pin out which is a bit more helpful for figuring out the i2s configurations of attached ddcs:

Then using the SU-2 switches instructions you should be able to get the switch settings I listed above. These are the instructions I'm referring to, from Shenzen Audio:

I massively appreciate the help. I didn't get a chance to try it this weekend but I should have plenty of time to try it tonight. Ill report back.

Slightly unrelated. I seem to recall that the sagra outputs an SE signal over the bal output. can anyone confirm that?

Anyone compare the 4 pin xlr vs the 3 pin xlr out of the Formula S with the 1266?
It's identical as the formula S is not a truly balanced amp

Hey guys, I hear a very soft buzz when I move windows around on my PC or am displaying a mostly white screen, audible through the headphones when no sound is playing. It can be heard through USB or optical when connected to a different source. Very clearly some sort of interference, but unsure how to resolve.

Is this a matter of plugging the Formula S into a different wall outlet or something else?

Also, the light on the formula S turning red with the audio stopping is the unit clipping, right? Was playing a challenging test track at about 7pm on the dial and it was cutting in and out. I don't have a manual and want to make sure that's not unusual.

I think that may be a problem, my F/S does not include a clipping indicator. I'd contact Abyss.

the red light is a solid red at all times and has been since I first bought it so sounds like something is amiss in your case

Yours is red? I have a white light on my Formula S. I also have a white light on my Powerman.
