Hello all. Sorry my bad English.

Talking about NAD M51, I have one, and I've been reading the post for some time and I'm wondering if it would be convenient to change USB converter. I would like to know your opinion please.

Currently I have the Yellowtec Puc2 Lite, and a nano – iUSB3.0 with good results, but I doubt if I can improve the sound.

Singxer F-1 to have given a better score, and a good price, but I also think that the NAD M51 best entry, is the Balanced XLR

¿You believe that having the PUC2 lite, worth purchase the Singxer SU-1 or simply with the Singxer F-1, It would be enough to improve Yellowtec even RCA / SPDIF?

Thank´s for reply.


At least in my system the F-1 with a good USB chain (you'll need a few gizmo's) and a clean LPS power supply was better then the excellent PUC2 Lite.
 
A stock F-1 would be very close to a PUC2 but at much lower cost.
 
You could improve the USB chain into the PUC2 Lite - another route.  But now you are talking alot more money.  At that level of spending - better to go with a AOIP REDNET 3

Thank you rb2013 for your reply and for the all post.
 
 Indeed I have read about the insulation over ethernet, etc. But are a bit expensive. Possibly because it is not much expense, try the F-1 Or perhaps better to wait for something cheaper arises about AOIP. By the way, I also had the Gustard U12 and agree with you scale values with respect to Yellowtec. It was useful to decide.
 
Anyway, thanks again and best regards.

I would like to know where I can reliably purchase a Singxer SU-1 ?
 
Shenzhen Audio Store has taken my $400 10 days ago and disappeared with it.
They refused to tell me where my order is only that they will check on it.
I will open up an claim with eBay at the end of today and dispute the charges if need be.
What a nightmare this has turned into.
 
 
There must be somewhere else to order one of these from???

Funny you mention that. I also am in the market for a Singxer SU-1. I actually found a place that sells them locally (USA) and I think they have both colors in stock with is good. I'll post a link: https://kitsunehifi.com/

Shenzhen Audio is straight, but very bad in communication and also in mentioning if stuff is actually out of stock and has a lead-time.

I can handle something being out of stock or back ordered if they would just tell me what is going on. "I will check on it" several days in a row just doesn't &^$ing cut it in my world. I mean their page says they have 10+ in stock but if they cannot answer a simple question why would their web page be accurate? I know there is both a culture AND a language barrier to deal with as well.

I have had awful experiences with them when buying the Melodious MX-U8.  I think they do that to gather orders - to then place a block reduced price order with Singxer and increase their profit margins.

I'm willing to sell mine. I have interest in going the 216 route before jumping into red net waters......
 
It might just be on back order. I bought the F-1 w/ case from their ebay and it oversold. Then the next day I opted to change my order for the SU-1.

For anyone interested, I recently posted my thoughts on the Singxer SU-1 - link in my sig. 
 
Hard to see from my terrible pictures, but the XMOS chip on mine actually says "U308" on it. I figured it would have "208" instead. Whatever the case, it's a very nice performer imho, though there are certainly other ways to achieve gains as well. 
 
Enjoy the music everyone!

It is now VERY unlikely that the SU-1 will be here before my 14 day trial is up on HQPlayer.  Now this really just frosts my cake.....

I will wait another week I guess. I just don't know what else to do. I mean these guys are like "THE" supplier of SU-1's

I'm on day 25 , waiting for my f-1 , and X-1 , to get here. Finally released from customs in New York. Should be here by Saturday.

I do believe that it's a supply and demand issue. They didn't ship mine until 12 days after payment.

I'm a pretty laid back guy , so the wait hasn't bothered me. Lol

I talked with KitsuneHifi and they said they have their singxer products in stock and ready to ship from the USA. Also, they gave me a code in their mailing list for singxer stuff, but that expires next month. The kicker is that there are obviously no customs delays since they ship from Lynnwood, WA.
