Usb 24 192khz M2tech Hiface
Quote: with regards to your last statement - waiting meaning i don't get the hiface? or get the hiface, and hold off on the dac (i.e get a bnc hiface and use a bnc - RCA connector) It depends if you are in a hurry.... As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy with the HiFace. And at least...- sadhill

Usb 24 192khz M2tech Hiface
I think a RCA socket with a good cable does'nt make much difference with a BNC connexion. Having the Hiface opens to you the world of better DACs than the Benchmark (for example CIAudio VDA.2, among other). You may also wait for new 192 kHz USB capable DACs to come... which shouldn't be...- sadhill

Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp
As the same setup works with the CIAudio DAC (at least for 24/96, as it is not capable of 24/192), I would rather fear a hardware issue with the Zero... I did try something else : send some 16/44.1 in the Tact RCS Preamp and output it upsampled 24/192 (the default output for the RCS) to the...- sadhill

Review: ZERO 24 BIT/192KHz DAC/Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp
Hi, I stopped using my Zero( on year or so old) for several months, and wanted to try it again with a Hiface 192kHz USB to SPDIF converter (excellent value for money by the way) Very nasty result : 16/44.1 works perfectly, but anything above fails (enormous distorsion) : 24/96 or 24/192...- sadhill

Musiland Monitor 02 US
Just upgraded from 1.0.2.7 to 1.0.6.0, following coolfungadget's instructions. (that was the 1st driver upgrade). Strange enough, it did NOT tell me upon PC restart and Mon02 re-connexion "licence invalid". I checked that the installed driver is the 1.0.6.0. Everything installs properly in...- sadhill

Musiland Monitor 02 US
I forgot to say that I'm using Foobar. ASIO setup in Foobar is quite straightforward : select the output device (Musiland ASIO if properly installed), and then configure it in the "ASIO virtual devices", that is check if the sides are properly set up. For Musiland ASIO, I could not adjust...- sadhill

After a quite painful Musiland02 setup on my XP PC (I had to remove all existing sound drivers, EMU 0404 and ASIO4ALL drivers, deactivate MB integrated sound card...), I eventually got it to work BUT what surprises me is that Musiland02 ASIO driver seems to work through the Windows KMixer...- sadhill

Macrog, Chinesewiki, Which driver are you using ??? mine does - up to now - not work through Foobar with the stock driver - despite Coolfungadget generous help - but works with ASIO4ALL (I'm on Windows XP SP3), an this happens on 2 different PC's... Doesn't seem to be able to read 24/192...- sadhill

Musiland Monitor 02 US
I will if I get a Monitor02... But : it might well not work as converter with a 24/96 DAC, as it is upsampling to 24/192... am I wrong ??? or can the upsampling be deactivated ???- sadhill

Benchmark DAC1 now available with USB
Hi Elias, Hi all, I discover this technically very interesting thread today. Owing 2 DAC's (EMU 0404USB and Zero Chinese DAC), I am considering to upgrade to a Benchmark DAC 1 (opportunity to buy a 2 years old DAC1, or maybe straight away a new DAC1 USB). Referring to previous posts, and...- sadhill

Hello to all members of this forum. I just got my Zero today (took 4 +/- weeks) from Lawrence. Thank you for the huge work done on this forum about this DAC. First impressions : it sounds already more dynamic than the DAC in my Denon DCD 700AE player, whitout having been burned in ! A...- sadhill
