Sabaj D5: the DAC that is unquestionably a digital to analog converter

Channels are switched. Left is right and right is left.
My D5 has left and right at correct sides lol. Tested on every input as I have an input device each input (Chromecast Audio on COAX (with opt coax converter), USB otg on usb for smartphone, Optical from PC)

I acquired a Sabaj D5 about 3 months ago and very happy with it. Came with the latest firmware and have had zero issues. Use both the USB and optical inputs and have used the RCA outputs to a tube hybrid amp. Very nice build and love that it's an integrated dac/amp with built-in power supply. I can control all settings with the remote. Display is small, but bright and good resolution. Consider the D5 a nice upgrade from my Aune X1S. Power from the balanced output is more than enough to power my headphones. Very nice build and SQ.

Been using mine daily since Jan 09 (v 1.4 / Amazon) and love this unit. Using both DAC and AMP from PC with some grado GS1000 and couldn't be happier. Maybe one nitpick; the volume knob feels like crap. Would be nice if it was a bit higher quality. Overall satisfied with D5.

btw, where could be bought the firmware updater? On amazon seller just told me to cancel order as it no more shippable... when I bought D5 I remember the tool was available in Italy with amazon prime but now not. I did not bought it as mine was already 1.4

Just update USB driver to 4.67.
Guess that I mixed up USB driver and unit's firmware.
The unexplained port in the back is used to connect firmware upgrade tool.
Can we have a "what's new" for the new firmware, so we know better should we all upgrade.

any information about firmware V1.6, what will one miss without upgrading?
I think if a separate upgrade tool is needed, it should be included. (not sure why it is designed like this.)
