I have had the KECES DA-151 USB DAC for about 3 days now.
I have it connected up to a Little Dot Mk V, headphones are a pair of Senn Hd650's.
Unless there is a dramatic change in the bass area then I am going to have to let the KECES DA-151 go and get myself a CD player.
The bass is all over the place, really boomy not my thing at all.
It could also be that the Little Dot Mk V doesn't quite have enough power to push the Hd650's to where I want them to go, anyone else found this to be the case.
Not my experience at all ..... I would say the Keces-151 is completely neutral in my system ... It is used more in my 2ch system than with my headphone rig.
My only issue was that ... running iTunes at full volume created distortion ... in now run my iTunes output at 75% and my computer at 100% and it sounds just awesome to me.
Any reason the 151 shouldn't work perfectly with Vista 64 bit?
It should work just perfectly, since it rely on the built-in driver of Windows, no major config needed at all. Just set volume to 100% and that's about it.

I have a laptop with a mother board with on-board audio chip/card. Not the best.
I am just wondering how the computer stops recognizing that audio chip to play your FLACs when you plug in a Keces DA-151 USB/DAC?
Wasn't sure to post here or on the Computer as source section, but i am wanting to buy a Keces so i figured here.
Don't worry about how it does it. You just need to know that as soon as the KECES is switched on, then all audio from your computer is transferred from the USB cable and into your KECES.

There are those who treat music as a convenience.
And then there are those who recognize it as an art.

Like TheMarchingMule said, it will automatically be defaulted to DA-151 when you install it. However, if you are interested in just playing music through DA-151 and use your computer's sound card for other jobs, you can keep 151 plugged in and powered at all times (so that computer won't change you setting because it couldn't detect 151). Under windows, you can go to control panel and select which sound card to use (ie using sound card for games), and use DA-151 for dedicated music playback (setup playback program like Foobar, which allows you to select which sound device to send music to).

Marching mule and Maniac: thanks for the answer! That's all i need to know!
Im on a job this summer, with room and board, and wont get paid until the end of the summer, so Maniac, i'll probably be in touch with you by then, if you still have units to sell :-) I am gonna combine it with a LD mk III, which seems like the best match-up so far as i can tell
