Usb 24 192khz M2tech Hiface

[lindamar]

I received my hiface a few days ago (BNC connector) and beta drivers for Mac along with it.

Can say that mac drivers do work with Snow Leopard 10.6 , but I did not manage to make it work with Leopard 10.5 though. It looks promising , and sounds good too !.
, 2.4
My laptop is a Macbook intel (white old model) 2.4 GHz Inter Core 2 Duo.

Kudos to M2Tech !

First async adapter with mac driver support, I say.. Well, except the ones that do not need the driver, that is.

I have been unable to get this to work with Leopard 10.5 either. My MacBook (last generation) can not seem to see this device. Is this the same problem you found, Lindamar? I don't have 10.6, so I can't use this until the driver is fixed.

I have reported this bug to M2Tech and they are supposed to be working on it.

Thanks, -dB

Absolutely !, exactly the same issue. It has been reported to Marco, but no solution yet. The problem is that the Audio MIDI Setup application fails to see the HiFace when connected.

Some apps like Winamp (running on Paralells / Windows XP , Leopard 10.5) does recognize the HiFace whenever you connect it to the Mac, but you will not have sound out of it though.

best regards

This is the reason why I'm still using XP.

But seriously, this thing sounds awesome. It really brought something new in to my music. I just put FS add on our local forums for two of my sound cards. I may keep one of them, just in case.

Do you represent M2Tech or are you maybe somehow connected to them? It feels like it.

Your using this device to feed your other gear?

has anyone tried this with OSX 10.4? i have the original Macbook Pro, and i havent upgraded to either leopard yet. Though if this only works with 10.6 it might push me over the edge to go get it for 30 bucks...

You got me. Though my positive feedback isn't comparable to your praising in the other thread.

Yes of course. This little device has only one function. To transfer the digital signal from computer to DAC. It can't be used without "other gear".

It sounds awesome, no doubt, better than anything I've tried to day. Still curious how it would fare against more expensive solutions like one from Empirical or that shiny metal Diverter.

You were able to order one with BNC?

Sorry, I kind of missed that mistake. I wanted to ask what gear you were using with it.
So:

It is just a USB to S/Pdif converter so you have to have an external gear ofcourse, I was just curious as to what you were using with it.

You can see my other gear in my signature. That's the signal chain. Only now there's HiFace between FLAC and DAC19Mk3.

I understand where it goes in the signal chain. Thx.
