anyone still use this dac?

i upgraded to a brooklyn dac+ for my main system but kept the stereo192 as a “2 channel receiver” for my TV / xbox, only using klipsch 2.1+speakers on the gaming setup but hella good sound because of the dac.

so easy to use and reliable

Call me crazy, but I’ve given up on balanced dacs. They were just too expensive while not sounding much better than sub $100 single ended dacs (I’m not joking; those tiny Asian dacs have come a long way) to justify their astronomical prices. Just isn’t worth it for me.

It didn’t work. Mac couldn’t recognize the DAC perhaps I can try it again.


Emailed mytek again. Just totally ignored me. I wasn’t overly friendly in the email as o was very frustrated about spending hours on something easy to do but I’d expect at least a response. Quite disappointed at just ignoring me totally

FireWire connection in Stereo192-DSD DAC and 8x192 FireWire DIO card does not work with newest Apple computers (from 2018 and higher).

Thanks. My Mac was 2017 version so should be good. I am just bummed that short of getting a used Mac that is just right, I can’t update my DAC.
