They are priced well and sound great to my ears. I haven't had the chance to try any of the more expensive interconnects and am still skeptical of the benefit vs cost ratios. 

 

 

 

Oh OK... my bad.

Good choice by the looks of it and the price is right. Funny name for the cable since it looks pretty darn good (cosmetics wise) to me .

Peete.
 

I have a problem.
I have been using hte DI with no problem but we had a power outage and now with the system up for some reason the driver on my windows 7 computer is corrupt now and it cannot recognize the DI.
I uninstalled the driver, rebooted the machine, connected the DI to install the driver again but it is still corrupt.
Help, I am without music :-(
Thank you

Maybe try burson drivers? (worked for my DI at a meet with a burson owner)

No idea where you can find them - maybe try burson thread

Did you try changing USB ports? i had the same problem at first but moving to a different port fixed it.

This ^

Mine wouldn't work until the 3rd USB port I tried! 

Also this. Mine didn't work at all until I changed ports.

I just had the power go out here for a bit, and the exact same thing happened to me, i tried like 5 different usb ports before i found one that worked! the one it was plugged in before didnt work at all.. something is definately funky with the way the DI installs its drivers, works fine on my laptop everytime, but my main pc it seems too act up (Asus P6T Deluxe V1)

I just got my DI today and what the hell, baby. just what the hell. 

This is a significant component upgrade.

coming from a broken teralink I didn't think reclockers made such a difference but this one rewrites the book for me. 

mp3s sound more vinyl like than I ever realized was possible. 

now i wonder how good their clock upgrade is! 

p.s. mine came with the upgraded tcxo clock without any request from me. 

this was glued to the socket with yellow pvc glue- yuck,

having fiddled around with the jumpers for a while, I can't decide which sound i like more

bypass has a warmer yet dull sound

jumper on at no-c & mmd1 is cleaner yet tad bit artificial. but surprisingly the dynamics seem to be better, which could be a trick perception due to blacker background/ better instrument separation. 

Kingwa spoke of clock burn in time. any detail on that?

edit: for now i prefer bypass + clock unsocketted. i seemed to have gained bit of transparency from plain bypass mode by taking out the clock altogether.

You should let it burn in for around 50-100 hours before you start trying to determine which sound you like best. You can do this easily by playing music but turning off your Dac/amp.

can the A version be used for Coax input with USB power? or is the power supply required to use it as Coax?

Only USB power is needed.

so i can get the "A" version, use USB to power it, and use the COAX INPUT from a cd player/sound card/ etc

So whats the word on USB/COAX any testing done for PC use?

I have an X-Fi with COAX out, or i could hook straight into USB, which is better, reclock the X-fi signal or use USB? The x-fi is preferable for performance reasons (gaming, etc)

some people prefer the recocked coax input, but its probably best to trust your own ears
