We have to get the stock back from Amazon because there is none left at TDSS warehouse. Sorry about the delay and I think we will be able to send it out this week.

Is there anyway to reset the memory on the mDAC?

Mine works great on Android and on foobar2000 (Windows 7). However, on YouTube and other streaming services both sound and video freezed. This happens under any browser (IE, Opera etc). Please, advice if anyone has any ideas or solutions.

@jasonl will probably tell you to buy a new Encore DAC as this one is EOL.

The thing is that mDAC has an internal battery, so switching to mDSD is not the best idea for Android. Maybe will also try some more browsers (haven't tried Firefox yet).

I used to use the mDSD combination, and it did shorten battery life quite a bit. I had chargers at home and work for that purpose.

I do like the form factor though.

I just keep my mDSD permanently plugged in at my desk now.

How would you compare the sound between the two? Maybe that is a good solution for desktop.

mDSD sounds more refined than the mDAC. It's not surprising, since the DAC chips have evolved one generation between the two DACs.

I bought today the mDAC at low price. It is reburfished but I hope it will work well.
I was looking for a cheap but good DAC which can work on pc (possibly without driver for my work computer) and android via UAPP.
It is difficult to find driver and information about this DAC cause it is old but I hope it will be cool. I will let you know

Unfortunately this DAC doesn't want to work on my phone or another android device...
On my computer it is work nice without driver and in foobar with driver.
I don't know if I will keep it cause it doesn't work on my phone..

Hi,

I have a question about this device. So, it has 2 USB ports. When I use just one of them (the data one, for example) on a Windows computer, will it charge at the same time?

Thanks!

The product has been discontinued for awhile now, but you need two cables to play and charge. One cable does each function. There is no single cable solution for both functions.

I'm hearing many conflicting opinions about that from people... Are you sure about that?

BTW, it's still available on Amazon.
