S.M.S.L RAW-MDA1 DAC/AMP review

[@IHearEverythingDude]

High gain for focal? Not really needed. Better to use lower gain and turn volume knob higher yo get best snr ratio

[@kinemosstech]

I used Elegia in low gain mode, if that's what you're asking :)

[@IHearEverythingDude]

@@kinemosstech ok, video showed different ;)

[@kinemosstech]

@@IHearEverythingDude I used the Elegia headphones with a 4.4mm cable. However, as I mentioned in my review, the 4.4mm output doesn’t give extra power-it’s just there for convenience. Also, don't be confused by the letter "H" you see on the DAC screen in the video. It doesn't mean high-gain mode; it just shows that the output is set to headphones. Hope this clears things up!

Can you turn the display off completely?

[@kinemosstech]

As far as I know there is no option to completely turn the display off. But you can set the dimmer to 5 seconds and the screen will turn off after 5 seconds. Not a complete walkaround though, as changing the volume for example will wake the display up. But it still works for some scenarios.

Yes, you can.
