Anyone can share sound impression (DAC alone) against any Audio-Gd DAC, like NFB-2 or something like that? Thanks a lot.

Hi, If everything goes right with fedex delivery mine should be here today which makes it two weeks since the day I ordered, not too bad. My rca to xlr cables from blue jean are already here so I am pretty excited to see how it will work with my rig. Has anyone tried this dac with optical vs usb inputs from a laptop and is there a lot of idfference? My two laptops only have usb input but I might in the future consider getting a hiface interface. Greetings, Anouk,
The usb implmentation of the DACmini is darn good, i honestly doubt you would notice much difference between them both. But thats upto you to decide with your ears in the end.

Hello again,
I just unpacked the unit and am pleasantly surprised by how small and light it is.
I connected the power (found an old printer cable) usb and spdiff but i did not yet put the power on. I found the volume knob on the front and the headphone jack.
As most of you might or might not know I am blind though os if someone oculd explain the control to the left of the volume control then that would be nice. I suppose it is a sport of input switch of some kind? Is there an on/off button or will it go on automatically after I give it power?
I also have not yet located the rca jacks.
i do presume they are to the right of the optical jack but there are four connectors there.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Ahhh! Well the DAC19 is rather magical for vocals, I really enjoyed alot of slower Blues, Rock, some Electronic was good aswell. The bass is deep and impactful, but not as detailed as the DACmini. The DACmini is hard to beat as an overall unit and just does things better in certain area's.
