Berto Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I recently read that a well respected amp person said the DD-1 was in fact causing issues with amps. Don't know the validity of those posts since the person I saw post it want the amp person, but someone that had a conversation with him.

Noel989 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I bet if instead of saying "SMD" it said "snap-on" Or "fluke" everybody would want one amd not hate on it or question it 6 Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundstream15 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 here is something else he said..im kinda ranting right now lol just got my hands on an SMD DD-1 to see whats what. The DD-1 is not what it is cracked up to be. So much for "1%" distortion, the one that i have triggers at more like >5%!! Yet to test it precisely but there is a lot visual flattening of the sinewave before it triggers (my own tester triggers at ~0.5% before anything significant can be seen on the scope ). Perhaps it is being confused by the ragged distortion that my test amplifier (A Tripath 2024 T-amp) makes. The RCA lead supplied also seems a bit ghetto quality compared to the rest of the unit. Both disappointed with the DD-1, and pleased that mine performs a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacomaguy1 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) I'm in no way agreeing with this, just posting what was said on caco. "We have seen several cases where the dd-1 caused a similar problem with other amps. It is likely that it has some bad parts in the protect circuit. How it happens, I do not know, we just know how to repair it.Yours likely will be one of the $150-$250 range since it probably just has some bad parts in the protect circuit thanks to the DD-1."
