Matrix Mini-i Pro Impressions?
Hello, What about Mac users? Weren't Matrix supposed to provide a firmware update for the Matrix mini-i pro (2014) enabling 32 bit and DSD 256 (like does the V2.24_driver for windows users)?- simig

Matrix Mini-i Pro Impressions?
Hello, The first Mini-i (certainly the 2012) isn't very interesting as the usb input is only 44.1 and 48kHz compatible… Then there is the New Mini-i which is very fine apart it can't play DSD… Both of the above have two Analog Devices AD1955 Dacs. Then there is the New Mini-i Pro which...- simig
