    Centrance upcoming product for Iphone 5 above and Ipod Touch 5 : Hi Fi SKYN

    Have been a loyal customer of Centrance products, have hifi-m8, dac mini, dac port, have at numerous times recommended their products to others, but what they have done now with their HiFI Skyn is a fiasco is beyond imagination,  I should have learned my lessons with the delays I had with dac...

    iFi Audio Nano iDSD discussion + impression

    Have my iDSD for few weeks, love the DSD sound with DSD64/128. I also have the Schiit Loki and Centrance Hifi M8 LX, but like the analogue smoothness of the iDSD better over all the other.   Of course iDSD does not have much power, so need to put it through an external amp to power bigger...

    The Centrance HiFi M8 thread

    Keep the CCK plugged in, reboot phone while HiFiM8 plugged-in into CCK, problem solved! Had done numerous reboots of my IOS devices earlier, but looks like IOS checks for "new devices" at startup.

    The Centrance HiFi M8 thread

    Ok, I understand, my DAC Mini seems to work with both iPhone/IPAD via CCK, likely because it is only24/96 and not 24/192. In any case my understanding is DAC advertise an entire set of sample rates and not just the highest rate they support. In theory iOS should have seen 24/96 as a supported...

    The HiFiM8 LX does not seem to work with Apple camera connection kit, however my DAC Mini seems to work fine. See the earlier comment from Michael confirming that it should work, is this no longer supported ?

    The Centrance HiFi M8 thread

    This is pretty disappointing   finally got my HifiM8 LX yesterday, but I find that it is not working via the camera connection kit with either my iPad or iPhone running IOS 7, does anybody else have this problem ?  Remember asking about this originally way back when ordering and Michael...

    The Centrance HiFi M8 thread

    Thanks, yes my instinct was it may be September (but hopefully not later :-(, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this matter.   Looks like August may only go December or so unless production is already ramped up. Plus iDevices units production may be competing with LX model which is already...

    The Centrance HiFi M8 thread

    My pre-order is from mid Jan,2013 for a HifiM8 XL4, can anybody make a guesstimate if I will get my unit in August or will it be September or later ?   Use an iPhone and iPad so thinking to switching over to an Hifi M8 LX XL4 if possible as the iOS 24/96 is not likely until October.  ...

    The Centrance HiFi M8 thread

    Sometime ago Michael mentioned that the early pre-orders will ship with a smaller power supply and later these users will be upgraded to the full size brick like DacMini.   As a DacMini owner, I actually had a question, can we request the smaller power supply or pay a little extra to...

    The Centrance HiFi M8 thread

    Yes Android USB Audio Recorder PRO, apparently DacPort with powered USB hub or my own test with DacMini works fine but at 24/96, if I try to play 24/192 content it sounds garbled, likely because the App has no built in sample rate converter it is simply relaying bit-perfect output to the USB...

    The Centrance HiFi M8 thread

    Just saw on HiFI M8 blog the comments about 24/192 support, seems like android and other phones don't go up-to 96KHz or 192 KHz:   Could a third party android usb audio driver provide a way out of this situation ?   It will not act as a standard audio device for all...

    The Centrance HiFi M8 thread

    Hi Michael, just pre-ordered the M8 LX yesterday, assuming the LX model (USB/SPDIF) will work fine with iPad camera connection kit over USB, but is it still limited to 24/96 (like on iDevices port on non-LX version) or can it go up to 24/192 via the camera connection kit ?   I already have...

    CEntrance DACmini DAC/Amplifier Official Thread

    Have a dacmini, bought it last month, liked it a lot with usb, so tried to go to coax to see how it sounds with 24/192 hdtracks downloads, using windows 7 and ubuntu linux 10.04 LTS. Sound quality was a step up from usb when using coax for 16/44 and 16/48, 24/96 sounded 'cleaner', 'smoother'...

    What is the difference between ibasso D12/D4 , what other alternatives ?

    Looking to get a portable DAC/AMP combo, would like both USB and SPDIF inputs, narrowed down my search to ibasso D12, D4 as the only suitable portable option.   Looking at the ibasso site it is unclear what are the differences between D12/D4, they both seem very simmilar D12 just seems more...
