whoops. I should have re-read the posts above.

How was it with the X3?

As inadequate as I am with recognizing/articulating what I think I'm hearing, I would say that it sounds great. Definitely a clean and clear sound that I'm getting out of it. And maybe it's placebo, but I feel that it sounds more transparent as compared to my iPod Classic playing the same lossless files via LOD to USB (then again, I had pretty frequent jarring noises through it that made me have to switch the unit on and off to get rid of - so it might just be my surprise and elation that the X3 works without a hitch). I'm definitely pleased with the combination, having listened with K10s, ER4Ss, Alpha Primes and UE900s.
 
Edit: I'm not using optical, but "coaxial" through the shared coax/optical output using a 3.5 to 3.5 mini cable.

Just started considering the m8 and mini m8.

Aside from size and input/output what are the differences?

Dac is newer or better? Amp?

Hi guys, I'm selling my Black Dragon Mini to Mini 75 Ohms Coaxial custom (3.5") cable if someone is interested:

Anyone owning Mini M8 and Sony XBA-H3 I'm selling my RSA Balanced cable by Plussound Audio - Copper (Type 2 Litz Trans Black) (Cryo Treated) here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/773620/sony-xba-h3-rsa-balanced-cable-by-plussound-audio-copper-type-2-litz-trans-black-cryo-treated

What dac chip is inside?

Hi,
I'm using ibasso's CB06 mini-to-mini cable to connect ibasso dx90 to mini-m8 which works fine. However, I was unable to find a 75 Ohm digital cable to establish that connection. Maybe, an adaptor for the ibasso chinch works. Does anybody have some experience with a "true" digital cable or adaptor (non-DIY)?

Please look few post above yours... http://www.head-fi.org/t/725677/centrance-mini-m8/240#post_11751458

Thks. H1f1add1cted - I foundit after posting myself and already ordered one. Will be interesting to hear the difference - if there is any....

 

[h1f1add1cted]

I got a special 75 ohms interconnect cable for my iBasso DX50 and my iFi micro iDSD and I heard that for this kind of short cable it should not make a big difference, but I want to make shure all is safe and fine.

I don't know if this has already been said but for those who are curious the Mini-M8 uses the AKM AK4396VF dac chip the same chip found in the DACport and reportedly the DACmini as well.

Are the technical specs for the Mini M8 published anywhere? The Centrance website keeps mum on this, and the first post in this thread lists them as "upcoming"... 
 

 

[ExpatinJapan]

I will check again.

Does the mini m8 have a true balanced output?

 

[logscool]

Yes the RSA balanced connection is a true balanced output.

 

[ExpatinJapan]

I believe the Mini-M8 to have a true balanced output.
