Moto X 2014 also works very well with e17 and ibasso d10. Best ever digital player for me.

  M-DAC   £599   TEAC     £150    Are you sure that M-DAC sound is £449 better?   For me they are just different characters...      I don't have Windows 8 at hand and I doubt any old driver is 100% compatible.  I had a  headache of switching from XP to 7 and it looks like a similar...

Quote:    Oh... I also use Win7 x64 and do not have this problem.    Try the following: - Uninstall the driver completely by righclicking on the device in the device manager.  - Disconnect the USB cable. - Reboot. - Then download the package from...

Oh, onkyo is a totally different animal! It does not have a USB input and it is an integrated amp AFAIK. But maybe it has a special synergy with dt880. Sent from my GT-P6800 using Tapatalk 2

 So how was Xonar compared to Teac at the end? 

Quote: In the UK you can buy Essence one from about  £350 (about $560 ),  price for UD-H01 was about £300 (about $480) until very recent, but currently it is on sale for £150 (about $240), dacmagic plus is £350($560).  Teac was considered to be a bargain for £300.     Yesterday late in...

Quote:    Yes, this problem only related to wasapi output.    I actually prefer wasapi (or asio) output because it changes the output rate depending on the rate of the playing track. Direct sound re-samples everything to one output sample rate and it is not always good and I don't want...

 I have used UD-H01 paired with HD650 for about a week now. Last few days I left them running for many hours with an endless mixed playlist to burn them both in.  In my late evening listening session yesterday I have noticed that at the (subjectively) same volume level the drums on TEAC have...

Quote:   I did more comparisons between TEAC and NAD headphone out with TEAC working as a DAC. I also replaced the cables going from TEAC to NAD with hifi quality cables I used with my CD player.        Used mostly jazz music and some new age-ish stuff.     The most striking...

Quote:  OK. So I switched to the NAD headphone output.    For my ears the difference is clear and present. Bass is a tighter in general and more pronounced. Mid bass is present and sounds better. Soundstage is more open. But! I like NAD signature and own NAD products for almost 20...

Quote:   Good point! I will try it tonight. 

  I had a chance to play more with the DAC yesterday.    PC side of things. Installed the USB drivers on my Win7 x64 and used the latest stable foobar2000 to play some lossless staff from my library. Noticed a little problem: if a song is paused in foobar and then resumed I can only hear...

Quote:    Yes, seems like it is not normal. I have been using them with new HD650 only for a few hours.  So it is hard to say at this point, I need more time! 

 I received the dac yesterday. It works ok, but makes loud clicks when the sampling rate is changed on the PC (I use optical SPDIF). Is this normal?
