After rolling through a bunch of USB interfaces including 3 different John Kenny's, M2Tech Highface and Evo, Audiophilleo 2, Musiland 02 and Musiland USB 3.0 USD. I settled on the Musiland USB 3.0 as the best sounding. Made better with a Aqvox linear power supply. I've been running this for over a year and really happy. But heard about this unit and just ordered one, wanted to see if anyone has tried it.
Looks promising:
- Native 32 bit 384Khz 8 X-core XMOS chip. Multi-thread. USB class 2.0 Async.
- Seperate 0.1ppm TCXO clocks, Temperature Controlled High Precision Active Crystal. One for each clocking ratio.
- Independent Linear Power Supply. Sealing Torodial Transformer, Multiple Sets of Multi-Level Regulation
- Four outputs: Coaxial (RCA), Optical Fiber, AES/EBU, IIS (HDMI port).
- DSD support to 128. PCM to 384K.
- Latest XMOS Thesycon ASIO v1.6.1 drivers, strong driver support for future Windows versions.
