I may have a clue (but not sure what to do with it)...in checking the OSX Console system logs, each time the HA-1's driver disappears from the Midi list, there's a message about 'VDCAssistant unable to find camera'.  The Mac Mini doesn't have a camera and I don't have an external camera of any...

I've had my HA-1 for a couple of weeks now and I love it so far. I have one issue that I've emailed Oppo support about and they've not seen it before and suspect the issue is on my side. When I use the HA-1 with my 2014 Mac Mini (OSX 10.10.3) via USB it works fine. However, if I then plug my...

I just picked up a Lyr from a local guy on EBay and I couldn't be happier. After several hours listening to my headphones on the Lyr, I decided to hook up the line out to my Adcom amp and Martin Logan Source speakers. All I can say is WOW. I've read some not so positive things about using it as...

I'm really liking what I'm reading about the USB interface. Can anyone recommend a 24/192 capable DAC that will take full advantage of the Hiface's sonic qualities. Under $500 would be great, but perhaps not possible. I've also been reading about the DacMagic and V-Dac, both of which could...

I just thought that I'd add that I've found a neat way to use the Apogee Duet as a DAC using the toslink input that most Mac's have. If you download a free application called LineIn from Rogue Amoeba | Freebies: Free software for Mac OS X, you can route the input from the toslink through the...

I've read some of your technical support documents at the Benchmark website referencing jitter after hundreds of feet of coax carrying a digital signal. I have a question along those lines regarding USB cable. I believe the limit to USB cable length is 15 meters. Is the DAC1 USB as immune to...

This is a great thread with lots of useful information! Since reading about the various forms and levels of distortion created by the various media players, it occurred to me that there must be a player out there with no volume control, or at least one where the volume control could be...
