Just fill it with random trash and just your email, it takes seconds. They asked for it.

Edit: Looks like this driver fixed a small bug where input would have some milliseconds cut from it, like when you rapidly click on the windows sound thing while no other audio was running you used to hear a lot of cut off sound. Seems to no longer be the case.


Nice! The cuts have been bugging me for some time. :)

Let's just hope the Windows 10 anniversary update doesn't screw everything up again...

The problem returned as soon as I changed default 16/44 to 24/192. Even after changing back the bug did not go away.
Obviously it's something wrong with their software, somewhat sad they don't bother fixing bugs.

I see. Thanks for the feedback.

I never really bothered with anything above 44 kHz, but I still get that issue at times. :/

I've had problem with sound drop out as well but this is due to the DPC Latency issue with Windows 10. I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing but yeah, maybe you can use the program Latency Mon to monitor the DPC latency on your PC.

Do a search in this thread for Geek Out several have provided so insight that have heard them both.
 
I have not heard the Geek Out products, but am very satisfied with with my DACport.

I had the GO450 and wasn't too happy with it.  I prefer the Slim for it's warmer sound.  The GO450 sounded a bit cold and etched to me, especially in the treble.  This is from memory so please take it with a grain of salt.
 
I don't think one is necessarily better or worse than the other, they just portray music differently IMO.  Also, the GO doesn't have physical volume control with the newer firmwares, but does have selectable digital filters.  The Slim has a physical volume knob and gain switch.

my headphone is oppo pm-3, so, considering what you said, probably the geek out isn´t the most suitable

I used the Slim briefly with my PM3's and enjoyed the sound.  :)
