Disconnecting the optical cable (and using digitical coax) eliminated the problem. Thanks! So why did the optical connection cause the problem?
I have no explanation

Hello,
I need advice from you that you have this DAC.
I could have it new for around € 550.00. It seems like a great price despite it being an older DAC.
I could later combine it with an SMSL amp using the Maraz only as a DAC.
How do you see it as a pairing?

Which SMSL amp are you considering?
I was thinking of the SMSL sp200.
However, I have also read the suggestions of others and I think you are all right.
I currently use the Fiio M15 + LCD-I4 . A fabulous couple although I miss a little more punch on the bass.
I would like to equip a fixed station to use with headphones of excellent quality. I am looking at the Sony MDR-Z1R. I do not exclude also a magneto planar headphone.
I agree to spend a little more but have a DAC that I don't have to change after 6 months but above all that no it is not of a lower quality than the M15.
the aim is to have a fixed position that has higher quality than the Fiio M15 + LCD-I4 pair.
I will try to see your suggestions online even if now is not a good time to buy.
If you have any other suggestions of pure DAC I accept them with pleasure.

To my ears, preferences, and gear, the HD-DAC1 is pretty neutral without the harsh brightness sometimes associated with neutral. I find my IFI Micro Idsd Black Label to be a bit warmer in comparison as a dac.
I would suggest looking into a Schiit Bifrost2 as another choice, as its getting a lot of praise here. I am actually interested in trying one out myself for comparison to the HD-DAC1.
