Got my second unit on 29th. Yes, they are so good, that I have two of them right now (and a Gustard X20Pro).
Both units work flawlessly and give me ~80-85% what I can squeeze from Gustard (~800USD AFAIR). First one sits on top of Rotel RA-10 giving me with SMSL B1 a nice bluetooth AptX rig, second one is for HT setup with Pioneer VSX-924 and B&W602S3 - it is just that better than Pioneer's internal Sabre 9006.
Anyway, still recommended. Exceptional value!

kasyxWould you mind testing if your dac also produces only crackles if 705.6khz is being used? I want to know if mine is defect or this is issue is present on multiple devices.

TabutcherNo problem, just provide me some sample file. What kind of source is this coming from? 705.6 kHz looks weird to say the least.

kasyxI just tested it by using a resampler in foobar (SoX resampler) with asio/wasapi output. I don't think there ar any native files with such samplerates. Anyway there isn't really a point using such samplerates but just wanted to make sure that every promised feature works.

TabutcherIt is kinda academic but as this was very, very strange frequency, I wouldn't be so sure that foobar chain handled it correctly. To be sure I'd try file prepared outside of foobar. BTW where have you found info that M8A supports this monstrosity? :D

kasyxIf I can find a native file I would also like to test that out. It says on their product page at specifications :D http://www.smsl-audio.com/productshow.asp?id=116

TabutcherThe weird thing is that the even greater monstrosity 768khz worked just fine. It is just the 705.6khz that doesn't work.

TabutcherAwwww connection drop just ate my whole answer :/
Cutting short what I wrote: I was referring to the not-even (by binary standards) number. 768 is fine with me :) 768 = 48kHz base x16, and 705.6 = 44.1kHz base x16 so in theory both should be achievable. Maybe there is a bug in firmware (BTW have you upgraded yours?)

kasyxI haven't found a firmware that I could update. I only have the driver installed that is needed.

TabutcherI'll try to look for it for you tomorrow. As I remeber there was a firmware updater tool in one of the directories of the driver (when installed on Windows), I've updated my first one and just realized that I need to do this also to the second unit)

kasyxJust a headsup. I contacted massdrop about my issue and they offered a full refund. They even paid for the shipping which surprised me because I live in germany. I got a schiit modi 2 uber instead. It arrived today and I got no issues with it. I also was able to use USB without static. I guess this is because of the linear PSU.
