I would also like to say that if you decide to upgrade the DAC I would still recommend keeping the Monitor 02 US because it also does a great job doing digital outputs. The Monitor 01 US is great for USB > SPDIF but with the Monitor 02 US uses its own power supply so USB > SPDIF on the Monitor 02 US should be a lot better than the Monitor 01 US.

Regarding my post here I'm looking for a DAC 300$ max to make the next jump from onboard sound for my MS1 and this Looks interesting.

Does it support Windows Seven Ultimate 64 bits?
Can I turn off the amp ?
Does it work on Europe or needs an adapter ?
Finally hows this compared to the compass ?

The drivers for the DAC will only work in 32-bit Windows.

You can turn off the DAC by either using the RCA out or Digital Out.

You will most likely need a plug converter and a stepdown.

A plug converter and a stepdown shouldn't cost that much.

The amp only works if using the headphone jacks.

The problem is the 64 bits since its what I use on mine laptop so isnt an option.

Outside of the box it saids, 85～265V，50/60Hz, also on their website. (if you can read chinese), if you order from ebay, you can ask for an adapter from the seller.

I just received my 02 US and I'm pretty blown away by it. It's quite a step up from my modded X-Fi just through my bx5a, and through the headphone jack it powers my HD580 quite well. I hope to have more impressions but right now I'm just sitting back and enjoying what I've been impatiently waiting for over a week

uhoh.. doesnt work with 64bit? at all? :|

Works fine here on Windows 7 64-bit, however you can only upgrade the firmware on a 32-bit OS

Huh? I managed to update my firmware on Vista 64 bit and I'm now using my Monitor 02 with the latest drivers on Windows 7 64 bit perfectly fine. Here's the the link for the latest firmwares and instructions Index of /musiland

Did read that, in fact it states

Quote:

6. The firmware update program only works on 32-bit Windows. Please run the program under 32-bit Windows.

I personally haven't tried but that's what I assumed from reading the above step

 

[fenixdown110]

Do you need updates to run it on 64 bit Vista and 7?
