I've been running my teralink on usb power until I hooked up today an external 12v adaptor for kicks. wow, what a difference that makes. It's a sizable improvement on many aspects- the main thing that im appreciating most is how much smoooother it has become. So now I wonder how much better the...

I have a question I understand the matrix mini will only do 16/44 on the usb side. Can I access 24/96 files with this device: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Teralink-X2-Native-24bit-96k-USB-to-SPDIF-I2S-Converter-/261078617287?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item3cc97f8cc7   Or am I misguided.

I used to be into high end audio.  Then life got in the way, marriage, kids and a crazy job. I still have some equipment in storage, an old VPI table, Cary 300SE mono blocks, and a Cary SLP-98 pre-amp.  While rummaging through a box of electronic parts,  the bug bit me again.  I found an old...

I have a few hundred Dollars to spend for my HiFi rig.   - Should I start from scratch so to say and beginn with a Digital interface as M2Tech's HiFace or the Teralink X2 to improve my SVDAC04 as all my music comes from the harddisk these days.   - Or throw out the DAC that is a few...

Maybe sounds like an odd question, but basically looking for a set for the office. They will be driven by a FiiO E7 dac/amp. The problem is that I don't face the door, so people often sneak up on me; sometimes accidentally. It would be great if I could still hear background conversations when I...

Hey everyone! I'm looking into buying a new pair of headphones soon and I'm not totally sure what to buy to suit my needs. I listen to mostly death, doom, black, etc... metal(ex: Death, Cynic, Woods of Ypres, Abigail Williams, Draconian, Kalisia, Dark Tranquillity)  and will be using them for...

Sorry to make yet another $200 headphone thread. I searched around and none of the other thread creators were really looking for the same things as I am. I'm looking for:   - Comfy and portable (doesn't have to fold, but that would be nice)   - Lush, clear, not harsh. Easy on the ears...

I'm new to headphones. I just got a headroom portable desktop amp and K601 headphones. The problem is that there is a lot of distortion when the music gets loud (like classical music climaxes). Changing the volume on the desktop doesn't seem to make it go away, it just gets louder or quieter but...

I have noticed more and more people are using these devices and asking about modding and other questions.  Perhaps this thread will keep everything all in one place for those interested.

Review: Jkeny’s modified Hiface A few months ago I started a thread here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f7/usb...hiface-449885/ where I compared a few usb to spdif converters. So far I had used in my system 6 different usb converters and the M2tech Hiface was my favourite. A few weeks ago...

I just switched from PC to Mac, and I'm looking for something to take the place of CDex for my Mac (it doesn't exist for Mac, correct?). Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

Hi, Does anyone know anything about this new device ? I'm trying to find out more about it but I've hit a brickwall. I'm specifically interested in how it bypasses the windows mixer because it doesn't use a special driver. However, it can support 96/24. I can't see the point if the...
