Hi   The blue power indicator on my Matrix Mini-i stops working for days/weeks and then suddenly works again for hours/days. It doesn't bother me much (actually I kinda prefer it without the blue light), but I would like to know whether a possible electrical malfunction could affect the rest...

Quote: Necro'ing this thread :)   Ive done some 128 vs. 320 kbps - and other combos - testing today, and telling the difference was rarely too difficult with 128/320. Since mp3ornot apparently has a "badge" showing ones success rate Im gonna up the ante and proclaim now that I can beat...

Well, I finally found a trusted source that explicitly states that it does support 24 bit via USB. Honestly I would have been very surprised if it didn't wouldn't make any sense at all. It just baffles me why WASAPI will send 24 bit to my onboard and not the DAC.   Oh well, I guess it's a...

Hi   Ive been switching between setups and when I took my Matrix back in use recently (with WASAPI and Winamp via USB) I discoverd that I can't do bit copy playback of 24 bit files? I know the USB cable is restricted to 44.1 - 48kHz but I thought I remembered playing fx. 24 bit/48kHz files...

Oh! Yea I was referring to the old A7. It had a fine size. but I wouldn't go much smaller than that.

I am very familiar with Adam monitors, high quality speakers. Would be great to hear how you think they pair up. - If you are planning on purchasing the Adam monitors, I would advise you to go with the a7. A far better investment imo, I am sure you won't regret it.

Well, I have decided to connect this entire setup to a quality power conditioner. The computer, DAC and monitors will then all get proper power supply, with no interference or static. In the new setup I will also eliminate the mixer-conversion and connect the mackies and the DAC directly through...

"I'm curious Gazoo regarding your post - are you running balanced XLR straight to the mackie's or are you going through a preamp / soundboard? I would suggest something like the M2tech Hiface BNC edition to go from usb to BNC - the reduced jitter may help in your case." Nope As mentioned I...

I THOUGHT I was using kernel streaming and winamp. but the output was actually set wrong (checked now you mentioned it ) But It didn't change much when I switched to kernel streaming. I mean, I don't think it sounds bad, but there is a slight boost in the treble, and it's not that well...

Well, Im not convinced about burn in either, but at least the 100 straight hours will be a good indicator that the piece isn't flawed.

Thanks for your answer OK, so if I connect the Matrix to my laptop it will only show "no sample" when the laptop is off? And then show "44.1 khz" when it is on? Im just wondering why 44.1 khz is the default signal input when using the USB, since it is also capable of 48.0 khz? Or did I...

And the dead output was the cable! Even though I was 90% sure this was the problem, I was a bit anxious to try out the new cable, but thankfully no troubles there. Also; my previous posts might seem a bit negative, so to even it out a bit, I will say that the knob has a very nice feel to it

Well, I will try to write this post for the 3. time now (deleted it myself the first time by mistake, and then when I was done for the second time I suddenly got "thanks for logging in" What) First of all; Isn't there a Matrix-owner out there who can comment on whether it is normal that...

First of all thanks to all of you for all the info I have gotten here the last few months. As the perfect leech I am, I have now created a user because I have a few questions Im not a head-fi-kinda-guy, but I found this site while I was looking for a new DAC. After a lot of reading I also...
