Got this little guy today (with PSU). Sounds good to me but it's been too long since I have had anything to compare to. Another high quality build toy from Kingwa for sure. 24/96 as well as 88.2 works great. No issues, plug and play.
I'll leave it to others with other converters to comment on it's quality.

Have you tried it with WASAPI?  How is it compared to your previous transport you had to have something before this unless you were not using a computer at all for audio.

88.2kHz is teh resampled by windows, the Tenor chip doesn't support it.

Congratulations on being the first to receive the sample.

I use Media Monkey out_wave.dll out of Vista- it's my only source for music now.

Sure does, and according to tests by Stereophile the TE7022 chips does not support 88.2.  But I have confirmed that it does work with ALL operating systems...Windows, Mac, and Linux.

"Examining the Stello's USB properties with a Mac utility called USB Prober revealed that it will operate at all legal sample rates between 8 and 96kHz, with the exception of 88.2kHz, with bit depths of 16 or 24. It will also pass encoded data, such as Dolby Digital. USB Prober identified the Stello as the "DigiHug USB Audio" from Tenor Audio."

Still sounded good with 88.2- I heard no difference in SQ at all.

could you please emphasise.

Great info...Thanks

Can the OP change the title to read Digital Interface rather than USBFace?

Just in case there is still any doubt, I emailed Kingwa concerning 88.2KHz support, and he verified that this product DOES NOT support 88.2KHz.
