  • With the new version (AUDIO BOOST) we have improved the dynamics and the output level in order to obtain and get as close as possible to what is provided by the SID 6581/8580
  • Please remember that X-SID is not affected by standard and initial "BEEP" when it turns on!
  • Please remember that X-SID is not affected by typical distortion that you have on Swinsid version or other SID replacement

Hi, interested pending some more info. Do you have some demos for comparison? Using the usual suspects like lazy jones etc. Some digi sounds. Is it based on the old SwinSID?
 
Interested in one X-SID. I'd like to know how this differs from a SwinSID Nano. Is it the X-SID prevents audio clipping distortion? Thanks.
 
The X-SID works like a charm on my breadbin C64 replacing a SID6581 perfectly.
Thank you. Leaving positive feedback.

I am very happy that you also appreciate the excellent quality of the X-SID which guarantees you audio quality without distortion when compared to the traditional Swinsid

Thank you man for the trust and for your feedback..:)
