Does anyone have good experience pairing a power amplifier with the singxer? I just got a pair of kef ls50 meta on my desk and would to combine the pre-amp of the singxer with a nice power amp.

So far loving it using the singxer as pre-amp with using a very old integrated amp as a power amplifier. But i think a real power amplifier would be better. Would be nice to stay below 500 on the budget

i see version 2 is out now.
anyone know what changes are.
its advertised on audiophonics but details a tad vague

Is it still under warranty? I backed out of buying a used SA-1 because of this intermittent problem. I believe it has to be shipped back to China.

I could handle the shipping cost back under warranty, but not shipping back and forth, plus the repairs.

is this common then?

From the audiophonics page... "To adapt to all types of headphones, whether high-sensitivity or high-impedance models, the SA-1 V2 offers gain selection (low or high) via a bipolar switch on the front panel." If there is a gain selector on the front panel, instead of the 4 gain switches at the bottom, then I'm all for it, however the pictures of the front panel on the site doesn't really show the gain selector. Methinks could be an old picture (original SA-1)

It's not unheard of. There have been several instances posted online.
It is probably just a small minority, but enough to put me off buying used.

I wonder if you can still do the jumper mod on the new version

Not really into opening the cover (could invalidate the warranty). Now if there is a selector on the front/back panel for the mod, this would be better.

I wonder if that glitch discussed above has been fixed?

pic on audiophonics shows same jumper positions as original. difficult to pinpoint any changes they have made tbh

The third toggle from the left is for high-Z / low-Z, an impedance selection.

The third toggle from the left is for high-Z / low-Z, an impedance selection.

So, gain selector is still the original implementation ie at the bottom of the unit.

Paragraph 6 (below) describes the impedance switching. Paragraph 8 (below) confirms what @raif71 says.

So, this handbook is for the SA-1 v2 ?

It appears to be. The data cited in the above ‘handbook’ are the same as those which are in the ‘www.audiophonics.fr’ listing for Singxer SA-1 V2.
