It's been only 5 days since I emailed Marco. I've also sent an email to Asus asking if there's anything they can do about it. They passed the related information to their related department and will update me as soon as possible. I'm waiting for response from either side. However if there...

that I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the internal remains unchanged

Just notice on the Lavry site, the DA11 has a new golden wording design casing, man it looks really nice. Lavry Engineering - Unsurpassed Excellence Oh I wished mine has the golden wording casing

yup

oh god that's not what I wanted to hear The culprit is most likely the motherboard, and now seeing that we have the exact same model, chances are it's likely one of the problem. I should email Marco about this. Is there any other that is using this model of motherboard with hiFace...

Oo, glad to hear there are ppl who have the same problem.(although it's not a good thing ) mind telling me what is the spec of your computer?? I'm trying to rule out hardware conflict issue here Mine is an AMD Phenom II 955, Asus M4A78T-E mainboard, using the built-in graphic, 4GB DDRIII...

1.02.139 And I tried it on my brother computer and I think it works fine since his computer didnt freeze(I didnt plug in the DAC to listen to it). It's really disappointing right now

Just received mine today, but sadly I cant get it working, my computer would freeze at the moment it tries to send data to the hiface.(or even at the moment I plug it in) Did anybody have the same problem?? I'm using windows xp 32 bit BTW.

Another route I would suggest is to keep your SA5000, and get a Luxman P-1u

Hi Lavry, I would like to know about the DA11's USB input method, is it asynchronous or adaptive??

oops :P

The support for DS(which allows you to have sound in youtube) in Win7 will be available eventually anyway. So for those who can wait, I would suggest to wait for the new driver to come out.

Ok, good news, just shot M2tech few hours ago with an email about the DS support issue and here's the reply I got. Quote: Hi, it's correct that no direct sound is presently possible with Win 7, but it's also not true at all that a support is not planned: we're working on a new...

Alright, if I'm not mistaken, using the hiFace with Windows 7 would be like using the earlier version driver of the hiFace on Windows XP. You wont hear ANY sound out of your computer other than your foobar!! So no gaming, no youtube, no videos and so, this would be extremely inconvenient if your...

so basically only KS is usable in Windows 7?? If that's true and they(M2tech) do not have the intention to provide DS support in the future. The hiFace would be pretty much useless with a Windows 7 system

I remember it was around 21~24 when I tried it with the RS-1.

ok now after some burn in, I'll take back what I said about the bass being anemic. Right now I got a pretty punchy and clear bass. But dont expect big bass out of the DA11, the DA11 is all about transparency, if there's no bass in your recording, you wont magically hear it coming out...
