I have this DAC for sometimes and it sounds great via my old Audio-GD Digital Interface feeding SPDIF through coax. However, I noticed that it would lose lock on SPDIF at 44.1 kHz from time to time. I cannot duplicate the issue at will but it comes and goes. I have two DIs, one at home and one at office. This X12 suffered the same issue with both DI, hence I suspect that it might have some issue.
The USB input to it runs fine but the sound quality is inferior to the SPDIF input from DI. I listen to it with the chain:
DI > SPDIF > X12 > Audio-GD Phoenix > HD800
and sound was very smooth and clear at high with good bass. The stage is nice and wide with great dynamic range. I have little to complain except the losing lock issue.
So I would like to check any X12 owner who might experience the same issue?
