Hi amigos,
I need your help to find a way to identify the counterfeit chips with see in Aliexpress or other sites.
I have been said that the following chips were fake, despite the fact that they sound great in my DAC.
Any idea ? I also contact Amanero, AKM and Muse support center : I am wiating for their response.

If you are happy with the sound, why worry about it?
I am worry because it is my duty as a citizen to warn others about a violation of what may be intellectual or technological property.
Would you sell a counterfeit product to a friend?
If its cheap, ebay or Chinese then its probably fake.
Why risk it ? just buy from reputable dealers.

If it was working and safe to use, yes. I would of course also a) make sure my friend knew what he was buying and b) avoid buying anything from the original seller in the future.Would you sell a counterfeit product to a friend?
If you buy something from a questionable source that you have no way of validating (Alixpress) and at a very low price compared to e.g. buying parts separately (as these DACs usually are) then it shouldn't really be a surprise that everything isn't quite as it should, should it?

Can be a workaround solution...
If I refer to the advice of experts ... I should not buy anything on Alixpress anymore. That is to say: we know that the products are counterfeit but we do nothing to prohibit their sale ... In other words, we endorse the counterfeit.
I think as a responsible citizen you should leave for China without any further delay and confront this issue personally.

I understand your point of view but thousand people in this forum buy product from Alixpress... and million others out of this forum.
