Hard to beat at its price
I purchased the "advanced" version after reading two very favorable reviews at Head-fi.org. I have not been at all disappointed. The build quality and sound quality have exceeded my expectations. With a detailed, authoritative and refined sound, this unit holds its own, even though my other headphone electronics are more expensive. Compared to the RME ADI-2 DAC/Amp, the Singxer has a much better headphone amp section. My Meze Empyrean and Ether 2 headphones sound great with this unit, which has plenty of power for them. The Head-fi reviews advised against using IEMs with the Singxer, so I have not tried that. There is no gain switch.
No user instructions were included, but I found a User Handbook, and software drivers available for download at the Singxer website. I am using USB driver version 4.86.0.42559 with my Windows 10 PC.
Six digital filters may be chosen from. The differences are very subtle, but I found I prefer the S-Slow filter which seemed to provide a slightly smoother sound.
The remote control is a great feature and part of the reason I chose to purchase this unit.
So far I have used the USB and coax inputs with great results. I have also used the Singxer as a DAC, connected to my HeadAmp GS-X mini headphone amp, with excellent results. The pre-amp outputs (balanced and RCA) may be set as fixed or variable.

Chessman47Hello,
I have also owned it for 6 months and can't say anything that is bad.
The only feature is that the fuse is not that great.
I have replaced it.
Otherwise, I agree with Chessman on all points.
s-Slow is also my preferred setting.
It can be operated with Audirvana Dsd, where it only works in Nos mode without filter setting.
With Audirvana it can play up to 256 Dsd via Usb.
More is possible when connected to a Singxer Su 1,2,6 or Matrix Audio Element Spidf via I2s.
I am still thinking about this, otherwise I have gained a bit more performance with a Matrix Audio Element H.
I am very satisfied with the Singxer Sda 2 C.
Very great dac for the money.
I listened to headphones with the Fostex Trx00, Denon 2000, Denon D7200 and Audeze lcd 2 classic.
Except for the Denon D7200 it left a real grin on my face.
Furthermore, for me it doesn't need an equalizer and I can sit back and relax and enjoy the music.

AlbertAngHi Albert. During the short period that I had the ADI-2, I didn't directly compare them as DACs. However I'm confident that the ADI-2 is the superior DAC. I was mainly disappointed with the headphone outputs and operational complexity of the ADI-2.

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
