I'm having problems with WASAPI in Foobar2000. The music playback is in speed mode.

Thats something I haven't noticed at all with the DI. I'm not hearing this glossy sound or glare as Currawong and others have put it. 

You're not hearing it because it's in the music I was listening to at the time.  There is something wrong with the recording or maybe digital mastering of Take Out that bugs me.  The piano sounds wrong regardless of what I'm using.  It was just more apparently annoying with a less suitable digital cable.

I mean lustrous in a good way.
 
Thanks.

Glossy has two different definitions, one meaning more lustrous in a good way, another meaning a false appearance of luster, "glossed over". I think most people mean the latter when using the word glossy in audio hehe, but maybe sulcata_geo means the first definition?
 
Thanks for the comparison, synergy is always useful data.

I've used ALSA and low latency mode. I don't know this setting is bit-perfect or not.
But for me , Ubunts sound superior to Windows.

Are you sure your Ubuntu config is outputting bit-perfect?  Otherwise there shouldn't be a difference between OS unless you are using their mixers.

no-upsampling : DIP6=1 ,
upsampling : DIP6=0 >DIP3=0/DIP4=0 : 192kHz
                        DIP6=0 >DIP3=0/DIP4=1 : 96kHz

The way I understand it is that the default setting is:
No upsampling (DIP3=OFF=1) and output is S/PDIF (DIP4=OFF=1)
 
Not sure what DIP5 does. Anyone know for sure before I throw it to Kingwa?
 
{Comment: Confusing isn't it? => (S/PDIF=ON)=(DIP4=1=OFF)}

[size=10pt]Yes, I can see you are far more observant than I. I didn’t see/take notice of the markings on the PCB. Hence, my identification of DIP numbers was wrong.[/size]

Today I build a very simple (lm1086) linear stabilized power supply and finally the a little bit for my taste aggressive sound signature changed to more relaxed more analogue like but whit good detail signature and dynamics. I also noticed the black background is little big darker.
So I recommend to everyone to test also whit external PSU, it makes the difference.
I am listening in linux whit alsa bit perfect! I have a NOS DAC !

still no full review yet? :/ guess this thing sucked.

 

[JulioCat2]

It looked very good on paper but until now the reviewers don't seem really convinced, i guess i'll wait for the M2tech Evo.

Another one wondering about the reviews here... Especially now with the NFB-1 release coming soon, the performance level of the Digital Interface can be critical for many people since it doesn´t have an USB-input (there´s an offer for 40 dollars off the DI if bought with the latest Kingwa DAC). The HiFace is out of the question here because I use Linux.

 

[wushuliu]

But I only think one review drew a comparison w/ the competition, in this case the Hiface. So it's the reviews themselves that are lacking, not the product, as far as what most are waiting for to draw a conclusion. Did any samples actually go out to people who have the setup and experience (with different converters) to do a thorough review?

 

[tim3320070]

Yeah, you're right it sucks

What an ignorant thing to say. There have been several impressions so far, all good.
