Hi Dynobot,   I noticed that you are using Linux. Do you think linux sound better than win7? I am using win7 since hiface require a driver to run. But if I get DI, I don't need a driver anymore, so I might give linux a try :-)

Sorry for the late reply in this thread. My friend sold this filter to me. So I need to asked him where he got it.   As for playing with power, I tried different combinations, may be I can share some of my experiences here:   1. netbook + ac adaptor - sound ok but not as "solid" (or you...

I am using this little device to filter the power for my pc. I always think computer audio got a main problem and that's the power supply. Since traditional pc is not design for audio purpose, the noise from psu is too high compare with those high end audio devices. If no good power supply, the...

Hi slim.a, I just looked at your pictures and see that there is a tube amp on top of your system. Did you try to pair that amp with DAC-19DSP? Is C-2 much better than your tube amp? I am using miniwatt n3(tube amp) with DAC-19DSP, so I just want to see if there is any reason for me to buy C-2 as...

Does atx psu provides "better power" than dc-dc power supply? Since I built a itx CAS which use external atx pus, but it doesn't work anymore. As far as I know, there is no other external atx pus in the market, so I am thinking whether I should try dc-dc power supply. I always think the...

If you want to use usb, you could try some usb cable like Wireworld Ultraviolet USB. It sounds better with those normal usb cables. If you want to use spdif, you could try musiland 01 usd or hiface. musiland 01 is cheaper than hiface, and I think hiface got a better sound quality. I own...

I tried magic pro mp-n73 which use nec d720200f1 chipset, it doesn't work with hiface.

really? which brand are you using? some people said it doesn't work (in this thread)

sorry duplicated post.

Thanks for your reminder, somestranger26. Then I mgiht get a new mb or buy a pci 2.0 card. Since I am using amd 250u cpu, I might change my mb to ZOTAC GeForce 6100-ITX or just change the whole platform to atom d510. But I always think atom is too slow :-(

I just received my hiface. I am using 785g itx mb (sb710 southbridge). I think hiface got some problem to work with this chipset. It works fine on my intel based netbook. Does anyone know willl m2tech solve this problem in the future driver update? If not, I think I need to get a pci-e usb...

I finally got my dac19DSP a few hours ago. First impression, it's a great dac. I don't have enough time to listen to it, so I can't say much about it right now. But there is a small problem, I requested a bnc version, but it seems they send me a rca version. Is it worth to send it back to...

I just ordered a dac19dsp, can't wait to hear how it sounds :-)

I think I got the answer from this blog. Audio-gd DAC-19Mk3; DAC-19 (MkIV) « ravenda's blog This blogger is even using dac19mk3 only.

very good review. I really want to get a DAC19. I am using musiland md10 + MiniWatt N3, I think it will be a big improvement. slim.a, can dac19 comparable to more expensive dacs like benmark dac1 or even Weiss DAC2?

Hi slim.a, Another nice review from you. Will Jkeny modify for other people? If M2tech can release a similar version, it would be great.

Hi slim.a, I will wait for your review before I order the dac19. I also followed your review and ordered a Oyaide DB-510 BNC from amazon jp. I think it's cheaper if I buy it directly from Japan. Thanks.

Hi slim.a, Thanks for your nice review. I am thiking whether to get a Audio-gd DAC-19 or audio-gd fun. After I read your review, I got more understand about both devices. I noticed that you use hiface bnc verion and connect it to Audio-gd DAC-19. As far as I know, Audio-gd DAC-19 doesn't...

Hi HeatFan12, You are just amazing, so many devices. I want to make a upgrade real soon, but after I saw your thread, I will just wait for your reviews I am using musiland md10, I also got fubar II and musiland monitor 02. My next possible targets are: audio-gd little dot dac_1...

I am thinking about whether I should get Lynx AES16e or M2Tech Hiface. There is a great price different between both of them. I see a lot of positive reviews about M2Tech Hifac. Can anyone give me some suggestion? Thanks!

I am rather new to Portable Headphone Amps. Since I just brought a new cell phone (moto milestone/droid). I connected to my soundmatters foxl speaker, but I think the sound quality is not good enough (compare with my pc audio sys). So I want to get a Portable Headphone Amps in order to...

I'm using Linn Kan with Miniwatt, Miniwatt is a real nice little device.

I just wonder which one should I buy? Musiland 01 usd or Musiland 01 US? I already got the musiland md10, am I really need the dac function in musiland 01 us? I see most people here use musiland 01 usd instead of us.

cool, glt. I'm thinking whether to buy 01 mini or the orginial 01. which one you perfer more?
