Tiny DAC, Big Sound, Evolved – Stoner Acoustics UD100 / UD110 / UD120
I understand that there are issues of volume and resolution loss of digital SQ- the reason why an external amp is better than using digital volume control from a device. I think he achieved seemingly better resolution as you said by disabling the volume control - that's why there is an audible...- laughingbuddha

Tiny DAC, Big Sound, Evolved – Stoner Acoustics UD100 / UD110 / UD120
So Coieos what you affectively saying is they are audio clones of each other there is no difference ? I'd suggest you do listen to one against the UD100 they sound very different don't worry my hearing is good and I did A/B them. I also apreciate your comments but comparing grouping the ifi...- laughingbuddha

Tiny DAC, Big Sound, Evolved – Stoner Acoustics UD100 / UD110 / UD120
If your amp dies OTG and you need to power directly from the device not the dac that its not happening with a UD100 that was my point - they should of left the volume control intact as Hifidmediy did and some people don't use amps anyway. I prefer ESS chips on the whole hence my interest in the...- laughingbuddha

Tiny DAC, Big Sound, Evolved – Stoner Acoustics UD100 / UD110 / UD120
I compared the UD100 to the Hifimediy £19.99 Dac also has much better sq which is what I compared it to...I used dsd 1 bit rips both from up sampled CD/SACD I think the UD100 is a good product but no volume control from your device means you'd have to use an amp between > no amp or no volume...- laughingbuddha

Toslink Cables..??
But I agree the company shouldn't ship it without a better covering other than that the sound quality is vastly superior to other optical cables ! Mine above was fine after I covered and heat srinked it - no issues with strain support !
