Cable arrived today. I just hooked it up... IT WORKS!!! I honestly don't know what I'm doing here. I'll show you what I selected and what I'm getting at the dac. And, I haven't done any updates to the A26 or the ET3.



And, to answer your question about conveying what you're putting together. During checkout, there is a comment section. I listed the two components there. No issues. Took a couple days longer to get here than I expected but it was delivered by snail mail this afternoon.

Where did you order the I2S cable from? I have a Gustard X18 dac, and hoping I can use the same cable that you bought.
Thanks, JMac

You have to tell them what components you're using. They'll make you a custom cable.

I manage to get the Bluetooth working on ET3. I need to off the Synclink then the Bluetooth works.

Makes sense since Synclink hogs BT.

Hi,

I’ve had, and have been enjoying, the et3 since last summer. A question suddenly dawned on me though, do we know anything about the power supply?

Is there a smps inside the case or is it a more sophisticated power supply? There is no fuse on the iec cable input from what I can tell.

Thanks for the info!

Also, how long did it take for them to deliver this to you? I'm in the U.S. (Chicago area), for reference.

It was about 3 weeks from order to delivery to Central Ohio.

I can't resist: @mooster1223 does i2s make a notable difference for cd playback?

Took a punt on the ET3 since getting back into CDs and I love it...great player...the app and some of the syncing issues are a bit unpredictable esph with an attached USB...sometimes DSD files freeze up the whole thing and since adding them I'm getting a weird kinda crash screen with a yellow stripe down the centre which is a bit worrying...will take a pic when it happens again, also getting no DSD64 playback through AES, just says 174khz....have a few MQA CD's that will play higher res as DSD but Through the USB cable but every now and again..just go to white noise and then freeze up the player...I'm hoping these can be ironed out soon....I'm running it into a Auralic Vega G2 Dac

HI,

I just tried to update the firmware from 1.5 to 1.6 via usb (local) and got the message 'Update Failed'.

Now when I turn the power switch at the back of the unit only the small blue LED at the front lights up nothing else...

If there a way to solve this?

I never tested any other output so I can't tell you.

Recently I am getting random song skips and pauses, occuring on both i2s and usb outputs.
Tired different CDs yet facing this, tried 2 different DACs, r26 and Eversolo A6.

Interesting. Not experienced this. Perhaps @Shanling can help you troubleshoot when he comes back next week.

Yup, the funny part is same CD plays well sometimes, and there are times when it decides to act funny.

I have reset the device, yet got some skips in start for a few minutes and then it disappeared

In which case it could be a hardware issue
