does anyone know what the implementation of the violactric dha v590 mk2 dac is like? does it buffer and reclock all inputs (coax, opt, usb) or just the usb input?

All Inputs.
The DAC itself is pretty weak.does anyone know what the implementation of the violactric dha v590 mk2 dac is like? does it buffer and reclock all inputs (coax, opt, usb) or just the usb input?
?Maga a DAC elég gyenge.
are the dha v590 mk1 and v590 mk2 designed with buffer and reclock on all digital inputs? (coax, opt, USB, aes)? otherwise, in this case it doesn't matter what source is connected to the dha v590 mk2 (pc, streamer, TV) because everything is done by the Violectric dac, so the sound quality depends only on the Violectric device.All Inputs.

I am looking to purchase one of these units, however they seem to have discontinued the AKM version and replaced it with an ESS chip instead.
Can anyone comment on the sonic difference between the two? I prefer having the 4.4 mm Pentaconn instead of the dual 6.35mm jacks on the front of the unit but it seems many prefer the older dac chip for some reason.
Also, the resampling button seems to have disappeared from the front panel but can it still be adjusted via the remote control?

ess chip has better performance.

We all know better spec sheets does not necessarily translate into better sonic qualities so I'm going to need more than that to make a purchasing decision.ess chip has better performance.
ESS is slightly brighter at the upper end than AKM. I didn't hear any other differences between them.We all know better spec sheets does not necessarily translate into better sonic qualities so I'm going to need more than that to make a purchasing decision.
This feature is only available on AKMAlso, the resampling button seems to have disappeared from the front panel but can it still be adjusted via the remote control?
the 2x 9026pro chip is more transparent, more detailed, clearer and more balanced.it is unnecessary to face the fact that if something is measured and it has less distortion and noise than another version or another device, then when listening afterwards, the sound of a better measured device will never be noisier or more distorted than a worse one. what says otherwise is the usual hifi placebo or untrained ear.We all know better spec sheets does not necessarily translate into better sonic qualities so I'm going to need more than that to make a purchasing decision.

Analog output stage matters. If you haven't compared both versions why bother posting?

He's right everyone, time to sell all my gear and get whatever new Topping/SMSL widget comes out next week.

Does anyone know if this unit has galvanic isolation on the USB input?

I've just purchased v590 v2 (non Pro), and the volume pot is very stiff and moves with a scratchy metallic noise when turning it by hand. The motorised control can only move it 25% before it gets stuck. I assume I got a faulty unit? I'm very surprised to see an issue like that on an expensive device.
