Your dpll mode is probably set to low for dsd playback, I had to put mine to 12 I believe before it stopped causing noise drop outs.

i also want to buy this dac and i qq factory to clarify regarding 9028.
 
his self statement is he used wrong photo at the description.
 
it is 9038, but it is fixed and sticked  under the heatsink.

There is nothing to worry about, Bobb already do all the measurements and it is safe to say that 9038 dual is being used in this device. I can certainly tell you with my ears is that the 004 sounds so freaking awesome.

I think, Mundorf caps are good too. After 24h burning-in, Mr.004 sounds pretty good for me: intelligent and super-fine, the best choice for classic and jazz, imo. Very deep, layered soundstage with extra micro- and macrodynamic. Every low-level details are picked up, so.. i can associate this DAC with Hubble Deep Space exploration program

Agree, the 004 is a very good sounding unit

"Pitbull34" I'm not sure what the point of the sounds from your system posts are using this DAC. It is not relevant unless you include a comparison with the same music on another DAC from your system to compare Dac's for example. The sound bytes you provide have no reference for anybody but yourself and your friends. They are off interest music or system wise but perhaps on a different forum.

This new LK004 DAC is off particular interest to me, and constructive comparisons to other Dac's like Holo Spring and Benchmark DAC3 have yet to be made.

I think, my videos are better than silence or a text description of sound. But It's allready done, please visit my youtube channel.
