Glad to have you aboard. Sorry you got a stutter. I hope your distributor irons it out quickly for you.

Today I get Mini-i (not Pro) and connect it ro my receiver in DAC mode. I can not hear difference between mini-i and e-mu 0204 ((( Very sad.
e-u 0204 using AKM stereo DAC, Mini-i using AD1955x2 and Mini-i Pro is using ES9016, it is almost impossible you can't hear any differences.
Some more what kind of audio file you are playing? MP3? Flac? Wav? DSD to PCM? DXD? 16/24 bits? 44/96/192/384? Source Player?
I heard flac 24/192 and dsd2.8 to pcm with audirvana plus. Source is macbook pro by usb for both devices. And I am not alone, my girlfriend can not heard difference too. I think it is so because I use simple av-receiver and hd598.
Also mini-i has very weak amplifier for headphone (( M-stage more powerful but dac is worse.
I heard also aune T1/X1 and mattix M-stage. It has more powerful amplifi
Sorry, may be i don't get you. What i meant is using the same av-receiver and headphone but with difference source player, there can't be no difference at all. for example you will get difference sound from CD Players of different brands (likewise for DAC) which normally call it as bright, warm, flat etc...
I don't like mini-i pro headphone section also, i use it's DAC mode only.
Hi guys!
I'm facing some problems with DSD-playback on Mini-i Pro (firmware 1.2) under Mac OS 10.9, maybe you could help?
I tried Audirvana+ and jRiver 19. First i select Mini-i as an output device in System Settengs - Sound. In both players i tried all the combinations of settings, incl. turning on/off Exclusive access, Integer mode, Bitstreaming, DoP and dCS outputs (in Audirvana). All i get is 352.8 on the screen and no sound at all. Sometimes non-dsd Hi-res files stutter under Mac, low-res play ok.
I could think I have a faulty device, but under Windows 8 and jRiver 19 everything is OK with the same files and the same usb cable when i select Asio, DSD-bitstreaming and turn off the DSP-Studio.
Has anyone faced the same problem? If no and you play dsd under Mac- could you show your setting in Audirvana or jRiver?
Thanks in advance,
Dmitry
