With new usb modules based on Amanero there is no problems with Linux. But old modules (M2Tech) may not work.

Any comprasions between any MHDT DAC and Metrum Octave? It's really interesting because they are using the same NOS philisophy but very different realisation.

I have lestened to Master 7 fed by Berkeley USB via BNC in. It sounds fantastic, no comprasion with the native usb32 implementation. It's the most smooth and realistic sound I've heard. Recommend.

http://www.audio-gd.com/Master/Master-7/M7EN_Use.htm Here is the connector pinout of Audio-GD i2s interface: 3.3V level . Pin 1 : SDATA Pin 3 : LRCK Pin 5 : SCLK Pin 7 : MCLK Pin 2,4,6,8 GND http://www.empiricalaudio.com/products/off-ramp-converter And there you can find off-ramp's...

Hello! Are there any plans in the future about 24/192 converter? Or what is the catch? Very expensive clock or there is even no possibility to get it? Can somebody tell what the usb chip Legato is using, Xmos or what?

Anyone tried to connect Berkeley Alpha usb to Master 7 via AES input? It is interesting to hear the impressions. Also think whether it will lead to additional conversions usb-spdif-i2s. I want to achieve more analog sound by this combination. Maybe someone has similar experience?
