This is unlucky. I bought 1 each of the cheapest 1m, 1.5m & 2m DAC I could find on AliExpress (3 different suppliers and they look like different factories) when I ordered the MS-01. They all worked fine when I gave them a quick check & the 2m DAC has been running flawlessly into a $30 HiSource switch for a few weeks now.Hey All,
I noticed something weird with the X710s on the MS-01s, they dont seem to like the many varieties of passive copper dac cables that I have. I see error on my switch interface, the same copper dac's seem to work ok with my collection of x520 cards. Anyway I switched the copper cables in my MS-01s to Fiber active AOC and I no longer see errors.
