Had that situation with DI and ploytec. Formatted my computer because of it.
Let it be a warning for those who might try this this driver.

I can't find the price of the Ploytec driver anywhere.
What will it cost if I decide to get a licence?
Do they accept PayPal? Has anybody tried it yet?

email them...otherwise card purchase: https://www.usb-audio.com/get-the-driver.asp

Great! Thanks

I use Win7 WASPI driver, is that as good as it gets?
 
Also, in Foobar it asks how many bits to set the output too, 16 or 24bits, which do you choose? I ask because if a song is native 16bit, what happens when the setting is 24bit (and dithering is off)?

hey guys,
 
anyone knows what is the spec of the DC cable between the PSU and DI? thinking of changing one.

 

[drez]

one of these might also help
 
I kid 

 
If you're concerned about RFI a shorter cord or moving the whole unit further from your pc might help?

Hahah drez that shall be my birthday present from you

I might make one with some mysterious extruded aluminium and laser cut perspex 

 
But meh a shorter cord with shielding might be worth a shot in the [black] dark.

They're released by the Tenor chip manufacturer, that most likely asks their OEM customers for a fee to release them....thing is, those free drivers will work w/ any TE7022L device

 

well I downloaded it earlier but it doesnt work after installation. I still dont have sound and my PC cant find any driver for DI...
 
An error occured while querying "TeraLink-X2 USB Audio ASIO" driver. Please stop ASIO playback and shut down any other software using ASIO.
Additional info: Initializing ASIO driver failed

WASAPI doesn't work for me under Vista, only KS.
But I believe that a good ASIO driver should be the best sound option and the most reliable one as well concerning bit transparency.
Drivers do make a difference.
 
Has enyone encountered the problem that the DI is not recognized at all under XP (while it is recognized on the same computer under Vista)???

Today I received a 2m Wireworld Ultraviolet USB cable to use with the digital interface, and I find it to be a nice addition to my system. It adds clarity and definition to the bass, and makes the treble smoother/less harsh (some harshness was introduced with the hex inverter upgrade). Didn't think a USB cable would matter, but it makes a difference about on par with the PSU.

I'd stick with the stock driver, it's pretty good. When foobar takes 16-bits and outputs 24-bits it's just padding zeros to the beginning (assuming little endian words) that will be ignored by the DAC.
So if you had: 1111 0000 1010 0101 and output it at 24 bits it'd be output as
.....0000 0000 1111 0000 1010 0101. Those zeroes at the beginning do not alter the data in any way, just pads it to a 24 bit signal. Dithering happens when you downsample to 16 bit from 24 or higher.

Yeah seriously I wouldn't even bother with the ploytec crap. Why would anyone pay 44 euro for a driver that you can't even uninstall without ripping your hair out?

Edit: Whoops, typo about the usb cable being better than the digital interface. hah.

Good that you went out to try one =) I love my WW Starlight too and like the nice upgrade it brings to the system.

Just installed a 74VHC04N in my DI. Huge upgrade (and I haven't even burnt it in yet) for such a small investment, mainly in terms of bringing out detail. My music sounds almost like it's in slow motion the way that the details are being fully conveyed now. Can't wait to get a few more hours on it.

Just received the hex inverter you sent me. However, I couldn't get it to work!
 
I followed the direction of my original inverter and just replaced it. No signal coming out from my DI to DAC. After switching back to the stock's inverter, everything works again.
 
=(

You're putting the chip in so that the half circle is on the same side as stock, right? Rhythmic_impulse got his too and said it works great so I don't think the chip is bad.
