Great job, Spanky! I wish there were more of these threads around.

Components are mainly from Xiangsheng.

Spanky,

I didn't see any info about the warranty period in the FAQ or on Ryan's site, nor did I see any info about which version of the D1 is shipping. I contacted Ryan today and he got back to me in less than an hour. This info may be useful for the FAQ:

Hi Jason,

Let me try to answer your questions:

1) Warranty period of this unit is 1 year. It is made by old school components, therefore, the unit should work just fine for a very long period of time. Even if there is a problem after 1 year, we will still be there to support this unit, just drop us an email.

2) All new units have the gain reduced. In addition, we will test each unit with 32ohm low impedance headphone before shipment, you don't need to worry about the gain problem now, it has been solved.

Please let me know if you have any further question.

Cheers,

Ryan

Great stuff jasonwc. I had planned to shoot an e-mail to Ryan but thought he was still on vacation. Thanks, I'll add it when I'm done with the XP tutorial for the USB driver

Finished first version of the Driver Installation Tutorial and added warranty info.

Spanky: May I suggest that the Hyperlinks be made more visible, e.g., bigger/bold fonts ?

Thanks

Sorry I was not clear. Was looking for the "inside picture" link and took me a while to find it as it's buried inside the page and not quite easy to see.

 

[_Spanky_]

That's alright. Maybe I should make a pictures section and put a lot of user-posted pictures along with detailed ones. There's always improvements to be made

 

[weibby]

how do we know its the "gain-reduced" unit?

 

[_Spanky_]

If you already have one, there's a serial number inside the unit. If you email Ryan with this, I'm sure he can tell you. Otherwise, ones that are shipping now should be reduced.

Added user-posted pictures (not finished yet), trimmed useless stuff, cropped shown pictures, re-worded several things.
