Thanks for the review, my order for the DHO804 has been sent to Tequipment since they have education discount.

Considered the DHO900S, but at over double the price, all I get is a sig gen that can do Bode plots, but with pretty bad specs, an LA port that I'll probably never use cuz the probes, and an official 125MHz/250MHz spec at the same 1.25GSa/s sample rate... yeah forget about it.
while looking for other brand MSO, i noticed DHO804 already reduced price since my purchase. i purchased early october at USD387.05 now its only USD358 nuts https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006140347160.html there is 90% hope DHO804 can be upgraded to DHO924S (with sig gen and LA probe) at much cheaper cost.. ymmv.

Just an FYI: I got an email today from Saelig saying that Rigol is raising prices on DHO800/900 Feb 15 (prices rounded up $1 to nearest ten):

Code: [Select]
        Current     
         Price     15 Feb 2024
        --------   ------------
DHO802    $300          $330  //  +30
DHO804    $400          $440  //  +40
DHO812    $400          $440  //  +40
DHO814    $500          $550  //  +50

DHO914    $600          $660  //  +60
DHO914S   $700          $770  //  +70
DHO924    $700          $770  //  +70
DHO924S   $800          $900  // +100


Basically a 10% hike.

That's surprising in view of the imminent competition from Siglent's SDS800X HD series. (To be released in Western markets before March 1st, as rumors have it.) Let's see what price point Siglent will set, and whether Rigol can stick with their 10% increase then.

Edit: Maybe the idea is to create some leeway in the margins, so they can then respond to the Siglent competition with "special discounts"?  ::)

At the very least, it will lead to additional sales in the short term for all those who are currently considering it. These customers are then lost to Siglent for the time being.

my thought too, 1 week panic buying. when price increased, siglent then can also up a little bit its opening price, when its published, rigol then can lower the price again... this price manipulation strategy is a bit funny to me though, price fluctuation for no apparent reason.

Anybody have any idea when the DHO804 will be available with EU (Poland) delivery at a maximum price of $399? On BangGood it is not available, and it was at a good price, the same amazon.

They're 399 Euros plus tax here. If you can avoid the tax then that's the price.

Probably not ever going to go down to China prices.

There is actually a black friday sale right now on many Rigols. DHO804 appears to be less than 350 euros in EU sellers.
https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B0CGHQHQN7
https://www.batterfly.com/shop/en/testandmeasurement/oscilloscopi/rigol-dho804  -->> can be combined with BN10 coupon code for an additional 10%

Newbie question: dho804 is substantially cheaper than SDS804X right now. Given ones interest in bode plots, is Rigol a viable option?

If you want Bode plots, you need a unit with built-in generator or interface to an external generator.
As I have pointed out since last year, I found the Bode plot function on a DHO914S (the "S" means it contains a generator) to be so inaccurate on a simple circuit as to be useless.
I will judge new firmware when it becomes available.  So far, the release notes have ignored Bode plot issues.
The math functions listed for the 800 series in the current manual do not include Bode plot, and I don't believe they have a built-in generator in that series.

While there are pros and cons for the DHO804 vs. SDS804X HD, that particular question has a clear answer: The DHO800 series cannot do automated Bode plots at all. It does not have a built-in signal generator, and Rigol does not support controlling external signal generators in any of their scopes.

In contrast, the Siglent SDS...X HD scopes can control external generators and use them to acquire Bode plots automatically. Only Siglent generators are supported off-the-shelf (and are decent value for money); there's also an open source "translation" software which lets you control some low-cost 3rd party generators.

You can also get a dedicated signal generator module for the SDS800X HD, the SAG1021I. It is connected via USB, does not have any user controls and is controlled via the scope. But I would recommend an external generator since it offers better value for money: Can be used separately and more flexibly, and most of them provide two output channels.

There is no mention in the release notes of improvements to faulty Bode plot function software.
I'll try to download and check before the end of November--otherwise I'm busy.
