I don't know if anyone's still reading this, but it's been a few years and I'd like to report that I'm still using SDAC as my main DAC paired with Lyr 3.
I've tried 5-6 DACs that are upwards to $800-$1000 (Bifrost 2, Denafrips Ares II, Musician Draco.....etc) but nothing can beat the musicality of SDAC so I keep coming back to it.
So if any of you guys are still using yours, don't feel bad and embrace it LOL.
But if you managed to find an upgrade that's equally musical but more technical, definitely let me know, thanks!

hi , i have hd58x and when i plug it to the pc it doesn’t sounds right there’s like a buzz in audio ( because of the pc and i don’t think the aux jack is isolated ) but when i plug the hd58x to the laptop it works just fine , so
first thing - will this dac work with my hd58x ?
2nd thing - will this solve the problem?

MjoodeLOL sorry for only seeing this 1 year later, so I hope you already solved your issue.
But to answer your question:
1st thing - This is DAC only, you'd then need an amp to hook up to your HD58X.
2nd thing - This is usb powered, so sometimes the noise will carry through usb. So there is a chance it might still be ok, but if you're worried it's best to get a dac and amp that's powered by its own power (i.e. plug into a cellphone charger or something then plug into the wall, or has its own power adapter).
In any case I hope you got everything sorted out already lol.

Valensilius_ZephyrusNo specific asio driver just a generic usb audio driver. I have O2/Grace sdac and their is no specific asio driver.

Oh it's possible, though what I really want is the SDAC Balanced to come back lol.

Can you connect the SDAC directly to the iPad or MacBook using a USB-C adapter or is the SDAC’s USB used as the primary power source?

Your assuming people have lossless non-compressed audio going over a much better than standard WiFi signal. Unfortunately that's only somewhere around 1% to 5% of the planet. Find me a random home owner who has better WiFi/Cat6 than a SDAC connection and I'll be suitably impressed, until then this is just academic.

Brad.ClarkstonNo, I am assuming that as USBC can potentially support v3.0 v3.1 or higher etc, it may well be carrying all manner of information at higher bitrates than a v2.0 or lower. I am just not assuming it's exclusively carrying audio, depends how it's used. It's surprising to me how badly many digital cables are earthed. I mentioned HDMI as, although the earth wire is physically connected the practice of long pigtail connection means the earth connection is basically infinite impedance, ie open circuit to the egress frequencies caused by carrying full HD and above video. I wouldn't expect USB to have anywhere near that magnitude of an issue, but as you mentioned the egress is worse with USB C which is capable of carrying higher bitrates, I thought I'd just point out that egress from digital cables can be a function of bitrate.

What kind of filter(s) does the SDAC use and do they eliminate pre-ringing?
Also, didn't it used to be $79?

how does the DAC work? should the input sound come from the desktop to the dac with the USB micro port?

GhisYes USB from the computer to the dac and then 3.5 to the amp which has your headphone's connected.
