There is nothing in the test results from Audio Science Review that would suggest they should sound different as although the V-Dac has poorer results than the E30 the differences should be inaudible. Yet I am pretty sure they do sound different. If I turn the amp to maximum volume with nothing playing there is noticeably less noise from the E30 but at normal levels it wouldn't be noticeable. This impression is not based on blind volume matched tests just general observations from playing familiar tracks. I did also change from a Touch connected via Coax to a piCorePlayer connected via USB but I also tried the Touch into the E30 using both USB and Coax and couldn't tell the difference. My main reason to try the E30 was to try asynchronous USB connection and the change from Touch to Pi was purely because I had an issue where the DAC would fall silent if the sampling rate changed and only recovered if I toggled inputs. That was obviously going to be a PITA so the Pi took over with the added bonus of being able to play DSD files natively.

It's a demo unit so maybe faulty...I found > this on another forum so it seems to be possible. "Audiophile honeymoons may end with a bad settlement, but on occasion... After an ambivalent involvement with the original yggy, selling it, slumming with squeezebox touch, behold, Qutest on a trial $ back basis has been gracing my system for 2 wks. My modest digital train is Imac-SBT/EDO/LMS-usb regen-Qutest, feeding unbalanced pre/amp/big spkrs. It's all about synergy. Yggy just never clicked. I didn't want to go down the regenerate/repower rabbit hole which might have modified yggy sound to something I wanted. I have a thing for black, and visually was tired of the yggy military surplus ambience, so enter a cool black brick with Toys R Us ambience. Another poster memorably said the Chord2Qute, the qutest predecessor, is amazing for what it does w/o extras. Improvable, yes, but almost there from the start. Immediately noticeable was a vastly improved soundscape, sounded bigger because it wasn't hugging the left spkr. Ambient cues popping like never before. With Yggy and Wyred4Sound a lot of music was rendered so some elements , often bass, sounded disjointed, not in the same room. Vocals on both these dacs in my system were often back in the mix with a too low relative volume that mushed lyrics. No doubt these dacs excel in other systems. I suspect that often balanced dacs sound best in balanced systems. Initially the highs and mids had a mysterious intoxicating quality; vocals were big and emotive, bass was an afterthought; after 4 or 5 days and inserting a usb regen the music attained a balanced cohesion and BASS came home and sealed the deal. Call it tone, emotive impact, whatever; my system has never had this level of foot tappin enjoyment, nevertheless, I'm glad I have 2 more wks. to be surer."

I use the patch on the Radio and like you say it works perfectly there. On the Touch I use the "screen off" screensaver and often find the backlight on when the screen should be off.

Hi Edvard did you ever fix the playback issue between different bitrates? I see the same thing.

Is yours on 0.1? My new DAC should arrive today so I can try it out [emoji3]. I also built a piCoreplayer to compare with it.

I understood there had been updates to the applet but my version downloaded recently is version 0.1. What happened to later versions?
