anyone able to give comparison between mx1 and mini-1 and nfb-5?
Foobar??? When you spend $200 on a product you should not have to alter your listening experience...I love when people make excuses for products.
Funny, this is your first post and you are defending the Audinst, thanks for proving my point about the suspicous pumping of this product.
This has nothing to do with 'altering your listening experience'. You have a problem with the Audinst, I suggested ways to troubleshoot it and shared my own experience in solving similar issues with the unit. Make excuses? You realise different PCs operate in wildly different hardware/software environments that can cause all kinds of compatibility issues? Did you even try out other USB DACs before pinpointing your problems on a defective unit?
Yes, it was my first post, but at least I was trying to be constructive and helpful there. You are the one making baseless accusations and spewing vitriol on everyone who did not share your opinion. Besides, I could just as easily claim that you are a business competitor to Audinst trying to put down the product on Head-fi by spreading negative opinions on it.
Anyway, 29 posts don't make you a better human being.
is there a difference @ work if you plug the audinst into wall socket power instead of running power off usb?
I got mine just a few days ago, and gave it a short run during work.
While it's excellent, I'm getting that same glitchy noisy thing that people seem to have mentioned. I'm not sure what the cause exactly is yet either. It happened especially worse when I was copying files off my ipod via USB, so I'm guessing it's something to do with saturating the USB host causing all sorts of weird glitches... But it also did happen when nothing else was happening. Plugging it out and back in solved it :S Still pops every once in a while.
Otherwise, it sounds pretty damn awesome. Gonna see why it's acting up by playing with settings everywhere. Maybe even get a separate USB host card for it.
Might sent off an email to Audinst, since I'm fluent in Korean. That might just answer a lot of things, hopefully.
I don't suppose any one has an idea how the Audinst performs as a standalone DAC. I just ordered a Woo Audio WA6-SE and would really like to go a while without upgrading the DAC (I plan on doing so in a year unless I just can't stand the thought of feeding the Woo with a $180 amp/ DAC.)
Ok do let us know what the manufacturer say about it
