Down again. many other users having same issue

Looks like there is a network issue with Tidal and Qobuz thru Roon

I meant to say above Low cost MQA dacs were not available.

You are right about the S2's performance. However, at the time of it's release, low cost dacs (besides the Dragonfly dongle) were not available. The talk on all the audio forums was about the S2 being an affordable MQA Dac. Many upon many non MQA options in the price range

So what is the consensus on the best (non battery) power upgrade for the s2? When I first got the unit a couple years back, people mentioned the ifi power cable (around $50 I believe). I'm not interested in battery power.

I wonder if John Westlake is involved with this unit.

The popularity of the low priced s2 was much to do with MQA abilities at a low price. Im sure the same here competing with the likes of Mytek, Teac, etc.

Dual mono, balanced outputs plus HDMI MSRP is a bit pricey, however, I’m sure you’ll be able to get cheaper https://www.project-audio.com/en/product/pre-box-rs2-digital/

Anyone purchase one and can offer any opinions?

Is Qobuz down for anyone else? Web site even gets me an error warning. Streaming went down as I was listening this morning.

I wonder how the new SMSL MQA Dac compares to the S2

who is using this amp? Thoughts

Great to see a new MQA Dac in the $400 arena with the Pro-Jett S2 https://apos.store/products/smsl-m500-mqa-amp-dac?variant=29356345720906&currency=USD&utm_campaign=gs-2019-05-21&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzZ7tuc295AIVVf7jBx1lqw0GEAQYASABEgINpfD_BwE

Ahh. That makes sense. Great to know

I did not see anything about a new update. It’s just the current updated does not see the unit.
