strange. mine is completely fine when I unplug it (win 7 or vista). Driver version? What exactly do you mean by "wouldn't function"?
 
I guess you could try unplugging it at the wall socket as well, but maybe it's a problem with windows?
 
Or you could try to uninstall it from 'device manager' and then unplug it...

Fine for me too, with XP.
 
However, Firefox does not know where to route the audio if you already have youtube or something like that open. Not that it should matter for this test though...

after restarting it (firefox) or before?

 

[aspenx]

Before.

 

[svyr]

that's normal then. 
unless you restart firefox there's no other way. (still going to use the old device handle?) 
If it had a menu to pick between audio output devices, you could've selected the 'new one' to output to without restarting (or the flash plugin?) (I do that with AIMP (winamp clone))

Sure. Doesn't bother me at all.
 
Just chipping in. Although I don't suppose kenken1985 is trying the test you've mentioned through Firefox.
 
Also, I've read in other parts of the forum that the USB cable is not as critical for a asynchronous DAC (like the Musiland 02 US?) as it "normally" would. I don't have any particularly good cable to test it myself and am skeptical that there will be any difference at all...

Foobar return a message saying playback error (The detail I forgot) My driver is already 1.1.10.0. Anyway, I will try to do the test and post the result ASAP.

What about this?

It's still not acceptable to be forced to wait 3 secs when switching sample rates...and the nasty part is that while the sample rate is being switched, all the frames are dropped, hah! they had no other choice as you can't halt the windows audio sub-system.
 
so either you get totally flaky instant sample rates, or almost accurates ones after waiting forever...and dropping frames. Musiland are well aware of the problem, as they've learned from their own mistakes: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/443786/musiland-monitor-02-us/600#post_6624136
 
if they put a rollable opamp, possibly a Tenor chip too(considering they're clueless when it comes to writing drivers)...the Musiland 03US could do the trick, I guess

 
And on your link, the Musiland was fed from a proper DPS...not USB power.

 

[Maytan]

I see. Thanks for the information.

I am not very good at these technical details....Orz

How will that effect affect the sound quality?

m2tech have sumed up nicely what a poor clocking does to your music: http://www.m2tech.biz/public/pdf/White%20Paper%20on%20hiFace.pdf

Hello.
 
I am interested in MM 02, but not sure if I can use this DAC alone from a SPDIF of a CD player OR I must have a computer with USB?
 
And if you use its built-in hp amplifier, how can you change the volume?
 
Thanks!

This DAC does not have optical input, only output so you can't use the SPDIF from a CD player as an input. The only input is from USB.
 
The volume can only be changed in Windows

Could I do a change to the board to replace USB input with spdif? Can't support the receiver chip any other source?
