"Joplin"=_Install, USB\VID_249C&PID_930D

"Mercury DAC"=_Install, USB\VID_249C&PID_9310
"Mercury DAC"=_Install, USB\VID_249C&PID_9311
And regarding the driver I could only guess that it's either slowness of the manufacturer making OEM packaging or 1.61 is more stable. At least this is version Stello packaged with U3 too and seems like arguably it might even sound better, could be a placebo as well.

I think 1.61 sounds a tad weightier.
Interesting, I'll give them a try.
Anyway, M2Tech coming out with a new product:
