buy a better oscilloscope than the Siglent SDS1104X-E

ALL oscilloscopes have bugs. They're very complex devices.
The question is will it do what you need? Even Dave's early release model seems to be able to measure noise.

As Fungus wrote, every DSO has bugs.
But it depends on the type and amount... ;)
If the scope hangs regularly, that's not a nice little bug (it may have been fixed, I had "my" rigol in february).
In addition, only rudimentary functions such as in FFT mode, a bodeplot is completely missing.
This can still change, if they are clever, this must also change.
Only if and when is always such a thing with rigol and the reason why I had once turned my back on the brand.

The rigol DS/MSO 7000 series has the same noisy front end as the MSO5000 (I had myself confirmed by rigol) and cost 2600/3300€ each for the 100Mhz/4ch variant, so much for the topic more expensive is better.

I already know it. but people comment that the firmware is still unpolished, that it is logical that all oscilloscopes have many bugs at the beginning and over time they are fixed

I hope the rigol or the Siglent 1000 HD are very good, but it is still too early to confirm it, they look good, but it is necessary to wait a while, I think.
The Siglent SDS2104X PLUS convinces me more and more, the firmware is more established, if the 10-bit mode works for me to see the noise, it is an oscilloscope that I like
KungFuJosh:
I have the SDM3045X and the SDS2504XP, and they're both great. My SDM3045X was upgraded to the SDM3055X-E, which you can also do to get 5.5 digits.
