Does this thing usually come with a power supply, because i didn't get one. Only a usb to pc-usb cable, but apparently it's not enough to turn the dac on.
Anybody know if I could feed this thing more current? I have a super cheap, super simple amp that sounds pretty good and has more headroom with a 2 or 3 amp 12VDC supply vs. the stock 1A wall wart. It only has analog inputs, though, and the (headphone) amp on my S.M.S.L DAC/amp/headphone amp unit doesn't really do justice to my Dekoni Blue/Fostex cans.
NFJ? If any of you were as curious as I when I saw this addition to the case w/o any mention or explanation, sorry to say that the Internet was not particularly helpful:

My unit died after just 3 1/2 months and there's no warranty. $60 wasted. Massdrop shouldn't sell products that have no warranty or at least make it clear that an item does not have one and might as well say "Buyer beware - take a chance you'll get a good unit". I thought I was purchasing a quality product because other items sold here are of good quality. I would recommend not purchasing this DAC/Amp because you might get a lemon like I did. It would have been nice if Massdrop could contact that manufacturer and get me one that would last a while, but they only cover thirty days. But in my case, even a 90 day period would have let me s&*( out of luck. What's really sad is I was very pleased with it until it gave up the ghost! Lights work but no output, no bluetooth connection anymore either. What a shame.
is there special way to turn this unit on? hold the power button a certain number of seconds or something? because mine just arrived and its not turning on, might be DoA.
Thank you, cheese528! I did not know that you had to hold the power button in for that length of time on the FX Audio DAC-X6. However, this makes sense given it is a multifunction button (less common). No reviewer ever mentioned this aspect but it does say so clearly in the English manual! We (consumers) need to read those first before making assumptions. Much appreciated! Your comment saved the day and helped to prevent me from sending my unit back to China from Canada via AliExpress unnecessarily as "DOA". At least my AliExpress vendor/store offered "Free Returns" just-in-case. Phew! All is well and the FX Audio DAC-X6 DAC/AMP can power my Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX headphones well! Impressive! Best wishes!
Just tested out the version I received from the latest drop (MkII as of Dec 2020). Slight hum from connecting to my JBL 305s. It's on top of the hiss produced by the JBLs (known issue). There's no hum when the DAC is powered off. To be fair, it's only when I put my ear close to the speakers so that may be unreasonable ;) Anyone know if that's normal? Both are connected to the same power strip.
Also, does anyone know if the Supreme Sound Opamp V5i's work with this? I saw a comment somewhere that it wasn't working with their MkII's.
