  Just got a Singxer SU-1 in as a "downgrade" to the Mutec MC-3+USB for work. It's hooked up to an MHDT Labs Canary DAC going into Garage1217 Project Sunrise III amp then JVC HA-DX2000 headphones.
 
I was worried I'd be missing a lot by getting rid of the Mutec and getting something less expensive, but the SU-1 is outstanding.
 
I'd go so far as to say that it is superior to the Mutec MC-1.2, and as good as the MC-3+USB for a "modest" setup like this. Surely, on a super high end DAC and amp, you could probably hear improvements with the higher end Mutec, but I can't on this setup.


Very interesting, thanks.

A cable option for the budget conscious: 
Audioquest VSD-5 digital coax cable 1 meter long. Cable is factory terminated with RCAs. Cable is made of 100% solid silver center conductor and silver plated copper braid and foil shielding. 
 
 
They also sell bulk by the foot.

Hello,
 
Unless I missed something I haven't seen any feedback/review on the Singxer SU-1.
I'm considering buying this one but I'd like to know whether it brings value added over the Breeze U8 (Talema + upgraded clocks).
 
Additional question, how does the SU-1 performs VS F1 "stock" ?
 
Can you please help ?
 
Thanks a lot

See post #3078 just above here. Not too much action otherwise...

If I were to get an SU-1, what kind of i2s cable should I be looking for?

In my opinion, I had great luck with .5M or .3M cables from wire world, or dh labs sonic silver. Those were awesome. Wire world is slight better imho.
I tried many and found more expensive didn't really matter with wireworld . So the Violet purple one is the best for the money imho. Other more expensive ones made the hole in my wallet bigger is all. :wink:
But I don't recommend longer than .5meter, but some may disagree and say it's ok. I found shortest is best.
So my best cable is .3M violet purple wire world HDMI.

F1 is already a significant upgrade from the Breeze. That was the whole reason the thread was started and has been beaten to death already.

Seems like there are no 0.5m variants of the purple and red. :frowning2:

Compared to the F-1, the SU-1 has better extension both ways and a more powerful overall sound.

My only critique of the F-1 stock was a slight swooshy airy sound in the highs. Not quite USB/digital hash. The SU-1 doesn't have that at all.
