i'm also one of the UD125 user here.... will wait for review out for me to decide to move to UD130 or not...

btw, UD125 is really great until now serves as my main desktop DAC....

keep up the good work SA

Thanks for the compliment. It's feedback like these that makes it all worthwhile. Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm sold. Digital control is just what I need for my sensitive IEMs. The analog pot is a great idea. Coming from a JDS Labs C5, the ergonomics isn't as great with the level switch than it is with the analog pot. It's more natural twisting a knob, and you'll know how high you've set the volume.
Great work Stoner Acoustics.

Sounds great!

We like this feature a lot too. laugh.gif The concept was originally PicoSlim's. Justin's way ahead of the game during that time.

Finally collected ud130 from the post office today.

I'm using Samsung Note 9, playing through UAPP connecting to ud130 with fiio CL06 cable. The app recognise the device and playback is running on the phone. I just couldn''t hear anything from the output.

LED flashed during boot up and off when UAPP continue playing. No indication whether it's low or hi gain as per the user guide.

Swap to the cable came with the device and connect it to the phone using the Samsung otg adaptor. Same result.

Tested it with hidizs ap60 pro too. Ud130 was detected by the player. Same behaviour as phone.

So for now I can't use it on the go with my phone or music player.

Did I do anything wrong or not doing something right to make it work with the phone? Or is Note 9 not supported? I am shocked if it isn't.

Went home test it using jriver and it's working fine. Low gain have to turn all the way to 2 o clock to reach my usual listening loudness. Hi gain make the sound bigger at 1 o clock settling.

Sound musical and nice in the brief testing .

The device look solid and light for portable use. Slightly thicker than I have imagined but overall still happy with the physical size.

hey, have you tried turning off usb debugging on the Note 9? We do have a customer who uses the Note 9 and has been reported to work perfectly with the Note 9 even using USB Class 2.0

Also we have responded to your question via email.

Thanks for the prompt response.

Tested debugging and various apps. Swap cable too. USB debugging didn't affect the usb out in my case.

Almost gave up and decided to try USB1.0 and it works.

Music finally coming out of the headphone!!

Hi Would the fella who reported our post on sharing a local review done by a Malaysian kindly let us know how this is a spam to begin with?

EDIT: Just as an update (that was removed), the folks from AudioFi has the very first review out for the UD130.

Just got this yesterday. Played fine on Windows10... On another computer with Windows 7, no such luck. Complained about no driver. Does Stoner have any windows 7 driver? I already installed the Savi Audio software but no such luck

I agree with you on the volume. I had to dial in to 3 oclock on low gain but as I understand from PM with Stoner the digital knob is different from analog. Yes, incremental increase after around 12 oclock increased the volume substantially so I never max on low gain. However what I don't understand is why high gain seem not to do much amplification?? If I was at 3 oclock on low, when high I expect at least I would be around 12 oclock, as it is the volume remained at slightly less than 3 oclock for me. Hopefully Stoner Acoustics engineers can take a look at this.

I tried also line out mode and I'm more than satisfied with its performance. I tried this on a pair of cheap usb speakers and they sound much louder compared to the sound coming out of my laptop headphone jack. The usb speakers has a volume controller so what I did was I set the usb speaker volume at a comfortable sound with ud130, then without changing the volume I take out the 3.5mm jack from ud130 and inserted it the laptop. I could hardly hear the sound. It was so soft from the laptop, so line out mode using the cheap usb speakers was a success. smile.gif .

This is certainly odd. The UD130's Audio Receiver dates back to Windows 7 Era!

Can you try it with USB Class 1.0?

I think this is a small issue for me as I don't use the computer with windows 7 to listen music. OK, one last try...the windows 7 is not connected to internet so during installation, does the installer try to connect to internet for file transfer etc.?

ps: I did try usb class 1.0

I am using win 10 and it's recognised straight away. Have not been able to use it lately due to work.

One thing I realised though...hard to find short micro to micro usb that guarantee work with ud130.

End up getting a otg adaptor and use the cable that comes with ud130. And not all phones work with the DAC. But this is the fault of Android then ud130.

So if u happen to find a really short and cheap micro to micro cable that work with ud130 and mobile phone, grateful if you could drop the link here.

You need an otg specific micro to micro for it to work as it requires a specific termination on the USB side of your phone.

This is why when u use an actual otg adapter with the original USB cable it works 😊

Haha I actually looked for one that tagged as otg and confirmed working with chord mojo. Unfortunately it doesn't work with all the mobile devices I have.

Ud130 work with pixel 3xl with fiio CL06, works even with Spotify.

Going to try it on Mi A2 lite soon.

By pure luck I found out there are short micro-micro cables available for drone users. I looked up on Lazada for with keywords like drone micro usb and found a short one.

https://www.lazada.com.my/-i453452956-s6925...lFlag=true&mp=1

For some reason one side of connector is longer than the other. But it works fine.

I think the previous setup i have were much warmer/bassy. Which was quite noticeable when playing on Bass oriented headphone.

UD130 is more on neutral side right StonerAcoustics? Since i am stuck to one kind of setup for long time.
