good instructions.
Hi
Note the 'baidu' sites are in Chinese.
When you access the site in your browser, click the 'download' symbol on the top of the page ..
Then click the blue prompt box to process the download ..
You will then be prompted to save the driver to your computer.

In the mean time, I've ordered a WaveIO card and an Audio GD I2S to HDMI socket
converter card. Why? ... because the WaveIO is really cheap, well built, has a bunch
of functions ie:- USB header pins, I2S direct and isolated outputs, great clocks and
good quality power regulation etc. I may even put it inside the DAC, if I can hack into
the x20's internal I2S lines

Is anyone else out there using this dac to directly power a stereo amplifier or monoblocks? If so can you please let me know how you like it?
So here's hoping this DAC actually includes a preamp section worthy of driving an amp
And for what it's worth I've already got a Gustard U12 which I absolutely adore. Though reading through the pages it seems you guys heavily favor the Tanly unit; that will come later. For now I'll be using the U12 in conjunction with the X20U, unless the X20U sounds superior without the U12 inline. My tests will determine and I'll move forward from there.

And the max output voltages of the x20 will very quickly over load most power amps!
