DBaldock9 Thanks for the reply, the 16-Bit/48-KHz will be fine as I only need it for Amazon(HD)music.

Be aware that the DSD, when used as a USB DAC, the performance is limited to 16-Bit / 48-KHz - so it doesn't work as a High Res USB DAC.
But it will play High Res FLAC tracks (at least up to 16-Bit / 192-KHz) from the memory card.

Sigh. I got a burson v5i to try and fit in my dsd. I can't get it to fit and I scratched the screen trying to do the work

oops, that is a bummer

Sorry to hear about the screen.
Just for future reference - something I've memorized, to help protect my DSD screen -
Push the boards out of the case - with the screen first.
Push the boards into the case - with the screen last.

Thanks mate. Do you know if I can buy replacement screen?

Are you simply putting the v5i in the socket? Or did you follow dbaldocks directions?

The V5i-D might fit, if you remove the socket, and solder the op-amp directly to the circuit board --- and Make Sure that you Clip the Leads on the back of the board, so they won't poke into the battery, or you could have a fire.

Because this has been mentioned many times in this thread, the socket must be removed before the dsd will close.
Once you remove the opamp socket, all fits just about right but, be careful with the leads poking through the back, it can puncture the battery

I can't remember anyone mentioning where Zishan buys the DSD screen. After the Chinese New Year's break, you might be able to get that info, from someone who has contacts in the industry.

A small smidge of olive oil will sort of make the scratch less apparent. I did it to my screen too...I think about a third of us have done it.

custom wood casing with V5i

custom wood casing with V5i

That looks awesome, but how did you get the 2 boards to attach to each other? The connection isn't long enough

There are different ways, some remove the mail and female pins and sockets and replace with wires, some people remove the old pins and swap them out for longer ones, I simply pushed the pins a couple mm forward using a soldering iron, if you simply want to make the v5i fit, you can do what I did, but then the battery won't fit

Can cut out the back and then screw in, bolt on or glue a plate on the back, you only need about 2-3mm extra space for it to all fit

Does anyone have a picture, or a link explaining what feeds into the ak4495 pot?
I am afraid I have damaged something, but can't figure out what, I had removed the old pot, during the process I scratched the board but even though the copper is exposed, it is not cut
Now right side has no volume in the headphone out.....
Freaking out here, everything was going well but now one side isn't working, so I am looking to bypass the old pot pcb all together and use some leads straight to the pot

If anyone can post a pic or a link, you would be saving my ass

Can you go back to where you think the damage is and check point to point with a multimeter for continuity?

Bought the zishan t1. Previously the f.audio xs03. Both with ak4493x2 BO.
Still prefer the sound of the DSD in LO.
For balanced I prefer the f.audio over the T1, but this can change since the f.audio has no upgradeable oamp option.
T1 is difficult to manage compared with the DSD. Not only for the resistive screen´s quality but with so few options touch screen was totally inconvenient with stock firmware, but I guess those who will install rockbox will appreciate it a lot.
Curious about the evolution and modding of the new player though, in particular if it will be a ak4497x2 module in the future.

Sorry for quoting such an old post, but you have both the DSD and T1.

Even though you prefer the sound of the DSD over the T1, do you find that the T1 still sounds okay?

If the DSD could handle the below, I'd probably get it. Hence I am interested in the T1 because it can be rockboxed and therefore allow for this functionality:

I fall asleep using the sleep timer (45 minutes), but often wake up in the middle of the night and then I want to do the following:
(a) press a button;
(b) music resumes quickly (at the last position of the last track);
(c) goes into sleep mode after 45 minutes again

Don't have a real multi meter, what kind would I need?

How do I check that?
