I cant my audio setup is based on a pc with no internet access, also the room has no internet access cheers  

hi quest   these resolutions of You tube are primarily video resolutions. They may from case to case say not so much of the audio?

44.1 should never  sound better like 96 should not sound better than 192khz. it is like a 3 liter motor should not produce less power  than a 2 or 1 liter motor. It is all in the implementation of the design.Then in soooo many cases 44.1 sounds better (but in also many cases sound worse, but as...

hi carma   you can safely forget a 192khz for the long time being. In my belief you dont need it  too. It is 90% marketing hype. You need a stellar high end dac which utilizes 192 khz like it should be, extreme low jitter and extreme stable power supply.  which will make it very very costly...

thx for the trouble you took to write yr impression, again another dac to consider,

I think you are on the right path I had the Mk2, then the AP2 (MK2 sounded much more musical with little sacrifices in bass and focus) AP2 PurePower (PP) , MK3. All the devices made a jump in musicality when using attenuators in my system with a Furutech solid silver SPdif cable, mainly...

Still nobody?   It looks very high quality build, the firm is really dedicated to get the best out of the PC

HI Lee Jplay mini also in hibernation ( superb sound)  plays gapless, I also belief as a plugin for Foobar and Jriver it is gapless too   But even then my post was not about Jplay :) I have the dongle now in house too So i have to construct a nice 5-8V pws

Lee how is USB life at present? still using the dongle?

hi I have the MK2 as well and before that I used The Squeezebox 3 modded by Boulder. I use the mk2 with 20 db att. Curiously as the SB3 was still in its place I used att on the SB3 and to my surprise it opened up, became darker and so on with 15 db att. My DEQX could not lock on with -20db...

not 3 units only the Evo

There is finally a review for both the units  and for the "halide bridge" : http://enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/1110/m2tech_hiface_evo_dac.htm   The EVO is a close second to Kenny's MK1   I am very happy to buy his MK2 which has a more cleaner pws solution than the MK1,  and a...

Enjoythemusic.com finally published their review of he MK1 (!) and the EVO and the Halide bridge  http://enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/1110/m2tech_hiface_evo_dac.htm quote "Ultimately I preferred John's hiFace but it was very close. The Evo has much greater flexibility with regard to...

The Hiface by itself attracted a lot of very good reviews so the EVO WIIL be a winner. How ever you pay also  for alternative inputs which you may not use and it provides a simple wall-wart type power supply. AN alternative which may sound practically the same is the modded HiFace MK2: ...

thx pAAJ But I really need a high high end Sound quality to be the source of my triode tube based setup and most others under 700 dollars have a standard clock and not the best jitter specs.) For some reason I intuitively accept the Duet sounds way better than its price suggests

hi The Duet is still a modern device nowadays after many searches i concluded the DUET ia also a very reasonable priced unit to digitize my cherished vinyl Lps via an analogue phone amp on my computers hdd. Not for ugly mp3 compression but for .flac files. And yes i do not have an apple or...

hi nick a wonderful journey awaits you I would not end here i would use yr setip as yr MAIN stereo setup. So phenomal good a PC transport can be comparing to cd players even costing 3000+ $ A cheap and good usb dac well there are several One of the chapest and very good ones is the...
