Btw, whats the "SRC control" in the Advance tab for? is it to change sampling rate on the digital outputs? 
Also MU-BASS doesn't seem to do a thing, or it is so sublte I can't hear its effects.
 
 


SCR control changes automatically when you play files with different sampling rates, MU-Bass doesn't work with ASIO.

Thx Guess.
 
No wonder I didn't hear any difference with MUBASS on or off, I've been using foobar/ASIO all the time!
 
HDCD works great.
 
Is there a way to switch SRC off so everything is decoded "as is"? There seemed to be an "Auto" setting in SRC Control in older drivers but I haven't seen it in 1.0.9 or 1.0.13. Btw, the later work fine in the 3 PCs I've tried them on, 2 desktop 1 laptop.

I just got my Monitor 02 DAC. Musiland's site seems to be down though and I need drivers.
 
Anybody have 1.0.9 they can upload?
 
Also how can I switch between my speakers (connected via RCA) and headphones?

Tam's Audio site maintains MM 02 US drivers and they can be found here.

Thanks! Im loving it so far. I do hate how the RCA jacks are in the front though. Im noticing a big difference compared to my Xonar DX especially when listening to vocals.
 
I do feel like the low end for my M50 is lacking a bit compared to my Xonar DX though especially considering I can tweak more things with the control panel. The bass is not as hard hitting but more defined.

When you connect something to the rca jacks you bypass the musiland's amp. If you want more power & detail, it's a good thing to connect the little guy to an external desktop amp, cause the build in one isn't great, but you probably already know that. Enjoy!

Sorry to not make things clear. My 2.1 system sounds GREAT with the DAC considering im using active studio monitors. The bass on my M50 headphones however is weak (stronger when I had my Xonar DX)... Im guessing an external headphone amp is needed for more bass?

The headphone out bearly moves my 501s and indeed bass is a little weak, with the 601s I get a little volume more and bass but still too low. Thats why I'm using the line out with my X-Cans. But even without the HPA its SQ is waaaay better than the on board Via chip (VT1828S - 9.1.033 drivers).

Yea Im going to have to find something to get some more bass out of my M50.
 
Is it normal for the DAC to switch from line to HP (or vice-versa) and then back when changing tracks on foobar? Im having that problem sometimes when I play a new song from a different album. It doesnt always do this though.
 
EDIT: Im figuring this happens when playing files of different sample rates

The best way is an external amp.
 
And you figured it out right - the different sample rates.
