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.

Of course, shorter the cable the better in pretty much any instance in audio (even digital). However, assuming you are using a high quality usb cable, server, dac, etc what would be the longest length one could use to where audio is not negatively effected? I know USB has length limited before one would need a powered booster...I'm talking in a general audio quality sense.

I have one of the very first S2 units. It's one of the units that I cannot upgrade the firmware anymore (at least with current installer on Pro-Ject site).I wonder if there is any significant benefit purchasing a new unit that works with current upgrade installers. My unit does not have the "clicking " issue or reverse channels.

Hmmm. I hope not
