This DAC is now only £67 on Amazon, I received mine two days ago, used a separate power adaptor, not expensive though, has overload protection, heat protection, this I plugged into a silencer block extension, the results are great, most hi-fi gear are over rated by reviewers for many different reasons, but I can honestly say this little box has changed the way I listen to my CD player and Turntable (the turntable hooked up via an analogue to digital converter) the music has opened up no end, plenty of dynamics, great bass which is tight, treble is a delight with no sibilance at all, one happy bunny, listening to my CD player is now so much better via the Coaxial connection. My one tip would be to get the best out of this DAC is to get a separate power supply, regardless of price because using just the included USB cable as the power supply is equivalent to disconnecting a spark plug on a cars engine, it works but won't perform as it should !
You are right!! CLEAN POWER is everything I started building power supplies. But modifying may not be necessary just proper accurate voltage with proper current!! I built around 30 in that manner with various low cost USB DACs
@@jonasDoguedeBordeaux I would just consider a ultra clean since the SU1 uses a DC to DC boost from 5 to 12 volt if there is no current switching noise everything could be fine.
Can you help me. I have a pre amp and a power amp but i cant seem to get the su 1 to work. I connected the rca out on the su 1 to the rca in on the pre amp. Do i select usb then on the su1 ? Im confused

Hi thank you fir your positive contribution.
I'd like to build a semetrical ppwer supply just for the opamp

How do these cheap DAC’s compare to the MF X-DAC V3 you done a while back?
Hello. What kind of power can be supplied to SMSL - SU1? 6 volts 2 or is it possible?
Hi please use 5 volts only
Can you help me. I have a pre amp and a power amp but i cant seem to get the su 1 to work. I connected the rca out on the su 1 to the rca in on the pre amp. Do i select usb then on the su1 ? Im confused
Did you sort it, mate? I don't use isb
@jonasDoguedeBordeaux i did. I connected the rca to the power amp directly and the optical/coax goes to the pre amp. Done
What the DC voltage from the TeraDak?
5v dc near enough
As I said in the video you have to drill a hole in the back then fit a socket. this power supply was made only for the trerrdak so must be adapted
