Nice, some prefer the 12,000 uF or the 15,000 uF but it is up to the individual user. Enjoy them.

Pass through.

Today I ordered Matrix mini. I hope that soon I will can write some first impresions of it. I've got Zhaolu 2.5 and few weeks ago I had for over 2 weeks Stello DA100 Signature and Theta DSPro Generation V. For now Stello is the winner, but maybe Matrix .....

That would be a real David vs Goliath match I want to see. The Zhaolu is the only thing in the Matrix's class.

I hope that Matrix will be better (in my system) than Zhaolu (which is quite good DAC).

USB input is for PCs only (according to the manual).

It's been nuts for long...

 

[sunneebear]

Well I say keep going nuts because for the past few years consumers have only benefited. I can finally buy a whole spectrum of consumer goods that I could not reach before.

Anyone has already tried this dac/amp with the AKG K701?

How does it compare to the combination of Trends UD 10.1 (USB) + LITE DAC-AM (DAC) + Shanling PH-100 (HeadAmp)? Any hints?

Thanks much!

More impressions please, folks.

FYI it works great on my Macbook Pro w/ 10.6, tho so does optical (thanks, Apple!), both @ 44.1khz. No drivers needed for USB; just plug it in and it shows up as a USB audio device.

I love this Mini-i, this thing is awesome. I'm using the amp section in it (much better than I expected, its great) and with my Cayin HA-1A, with HD650s. I can hear some noise with my Etymotics (HF2s) on the headphone out on the mini-i but problem solved when plugged into the HA-1A. I haven't tried it with my P-to-S adapter or my er4p's yet.

I find myself listening to the phone out on the mini-i so much I might sell the HA-1A (w/ Mullard if anyone is looking). And I'm definitely selling my modd'd DAC-AH (OPA 627s, upgraded power supply)..

The Mini-I is awesome for the money. My only problem is I wish I had asked for black; I didnt' specify and the silver has a weird sparkly look to it that I think is kind of cheap looking.

Think about MacBook. The silver mini-i doesn't look cheap at all.

So guys, do specify color when you buy. Otherwise I will send randomly.
