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.
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.
