Hi guys, I've just plugged this into my pc and it works great!
Sounds is comparable to my MUSILAND dac. This one has an external power input.
USB in.
COAX out.
EZ PZ.
The display shows 48, how can I get it to a higher bitrate? Thanks!

After reading thru the comments, I would like to add that I own the Red edition, which looks much better in your hand than the pictures portray. I am on Win7/64 and I had no problem with the XMOS drivers. They were easily downloaded from the SMSL website and installed perfectly on try 1. Once installed, you get a nice little window on your PC (or tablet with OTG) that shows connection info and sample rate. Pretty sweet, the best part is having a remote which controls vol and switches inputs(3). I use the optical input with my CCA which improves digital streams quite considerably. The sound, right away was impressive and I am glad I picked it up, as it's quite portable. It has aux power thru USB with any 5V 1 amp charger. Definately is an "11/10" for my purposes. Topping 10 sounds comparable to me, but it only has PC input. Sanskrit 10th is a great choice if you need S/PDIF inputs, the other input is coaxial and I have used it with my HDTV digital outputs and it improves the sound from there too. So guess I'll get a blue one next.
(Initially thought I might be screwed if the remote was lost or terminated, but it's the same remote SMSL uses on several products and can easily be found new on Ebay for under $10.

Candy apple red. I'd rather go for a topping d10 with the black box and red display.

Isn't it better to get Topping D10 at similar price. With d10 you can swap out the opamp for something like burson V5i. How does this perform against d10

GurbakhshishI had D10 and I returned it(I bought it on Amazon) DSD would work normal and then after few days it wouldn't play (loud static noise instead of music) then I needed to reinstall drivers - DSD would start to work again and then after some time it would brake down again. Tried everything, firmware update, different usb port, different PC. Drivers are just a piece of junk.

kombajnFortunately i didn't have the same problem. The drivers for most of these are pretty much same the driver that they re-skinned. The one on left side is for Topping and the one on right side is for SMSL

Can you play an SACD THROUGH it??? I have a lower priced Peachtree DAC and it will not play SACD's thru it. I have to disconnect it to play an SACD. Thanks!!

Mine just showed up... remote doesn't work at all. Device works fine though.
Or maybe it's the receiver on the device. I don't know. But audio works, remote doesn't.
I bought it for the remote. Otherwise, could have gone Modi 3.

SqueeI assume you figured this out by now. But for others whose remote does not work. Their are 3 silly buttons labeled "A" "B" "C" on the remote. You must hit "C" the first time to make the remote work (the others change the codes to control other unnamed devices). If at some point you hit A or B by mistake...you must hit C again to make it work.

amerintexIs the 10th edition an upgrade from the 6th edition? I have the 6th edition now. But I don't want to spend another $100 if it sounds about the same.
