I just spent a huge amount of time trying out different audio software and various component changes, all the while swapping my X2 w/ usb isolator in and out w/ an unmodified Hiface. I found that I prefer the X2. I was expecting it to be overly warm and slow and masking details as some have reported but in my setup there's just as much detail and transparency as the Hiface, just a little fuller mid-bass and definitely more pleasing. Kind of like the difference between 2nd order and 3rd order distortion in speakers. I wouldn't doubt the modded Hiface sounds better, but an X2, usb isolator, and Teradak PSU combined would still come to half that of a full Jkeny package incl. charger. Not much more if you build a Sigma 11 PSu instead. At least there's something for everyone!
I have a Hi-Face also, so I experiment with both units. I also have a USB isolator with external power input for use with the X2. I am using a battery for the X2 so I am unsure how a PSU could improve on that. However, I would like to try it out just for testing purposes.
