I don't understand the DG900 series. It appears to be pretty much inferior across the board when compared to Siglent SDG2000x series, a piece of gear that has been in the market for years? Both in price and specs. Especially when you consider the 2000x ability to be "unlocked" to the high end model.
I literally JUST bought a SDG2000x (almost went for the 6000x..) days ago, and after seeing this new Rigol device today.. I am really pretty confident in my decision to stay with Siglent.
I'm surprised Rigol isn't trying to be more competitive with a new product like this, either in specs or price, in respect to their MAIN competition, Siglent.
The look of the product does not bother me at all, I appreciate their attempt at styling because it at least makes sense - it was mostly made to allow a zero fan set up. They just tried to make it a bit more spiffy looking after they got the functional style set for having no fan and being stacked with other gear. At least they didn't make it as atrocious as their new 7000 series scope buttons/style.
The one thing I do not like, after watching that video above, is how the UI seems to work. Seems very bulky and annoying to actually use compared to other vendors. I appreciate Siglent's method of allowing usage using buttons or touch on their gens.
I don't know, seems like this one is a big let down for a company like Rigol. It's pretty crazy to say that, since thinking about the past this is an AMAZING amount of specs for the price.. but when you have Siglent out there now doing really well, it's hard to accept this as "good job Rigol". Oh well, I'm excited for a review & teardown nonetheless. Cheers!
