Hey @ArthurPower, I am still a happy user of the X-Sabre Pro. It sounds great and works fantastic. Still, I got to ask; any updates to report on adding the option to turn off the display entirely? Thank you in advance!

Quite a statement considering you used a less than ideal source for your test (a pc).. Also, how do you state that with a x-spdif 2 in between it almost matched performance of the internal player, but the internal player still was in a league of it's own. In my understanding that means a...

Thanks for your reply. I am fine with redbook so will stick with the X-Sabre Pro. I will keep an eye on this thread to see if we can expect the display off functionality in the future :) Thanks again!

Hi everyone, been really enjoying this dac in my setup (Aurender N100 -> X-Sabre Pro -> Lindemann musicbook:50 -> Aurum Cantus Leisure 3 SE MKII)! Having owned it for the past year or so, I feel no desire to upgrade to the MQA version or any other dac. I feel as soon as I start looking for a...

Agreed. I have edited my post to reflect your experienced. Sadly I haven't found another shop that seems to sell the Cayin (just yet) in Europe. Edit: the audiogarden site seems to state "pre-order". Guess there is no stock yet.

Really interesting product. Looking forward to more impressions, especially of playing files from a nas and from a control perspective. Does this device come with a remote application which allows media browsing and the creation of playlists etc? It would be great if it also contains capable...

Thanks for the info on the firmware update. Just successfully updated my x-sabre pro (from 1.3 which was what it orginally came with).

Found some pictures of the inside of this dac. For more check out the (not yet finished) review at 6moons: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews2/matrix/1.html

Just to share for anybody considering switching to the new windows. The (standard V.2.23.0) driver works fine on windows 10.

I think the lack of attention and appreciation for this dac is making it risky for matrix to invest in an update. It is unlikely that a new version of this dac will sell like hot cakes and therefor it could take a while before matrix will start to see profit from their investment. Besides, an...

Send you a pm. 

nvm..

I bought this dac off an ebay auction and have been using it for the last two weeks (coax input with filter "sharp"). First impressions are very positive. Build quality is good, switches are solid and the inside looks neat. The brightness of the leds is perfect, you can see them but they don't...

The display of my month old u12 turned defective today. It does not display the numbers correctly anymore. I tried restarting it a couple of times to no avail. Sound is still great though, so purely a cosmetic problem. I have send the ebay seller a message explaining the problem. Did anybody...

New here, been playing with a computer based hifi system for a couple years now and found myself browsing headfi regularly while looking for opinions on gear. Decided today is the day I will start to be a part of this community hoping that my contributions might help some people in the same way...
