Anyone Have M2Tech Gear? Looking for opinions

I'm thinking about getting M2Tech gear The Evo Hiface Evo 2 USB to SPDIF adapter with the optional clock and power supply. I have a Berkley Alpha USB but it only has one output and I need more flexibility. The Evo Hiface will give me that. I have never seen the units and there is no local shop that demonstrates them. I will have to buy them blind.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I have the M2Tech HiFace USB/SPDIF converter and have enjoyed it with my MacBook pro. No need for a USB cable. The Evo is an upgrade, though can't say how it would compare to your Alpha which is supposed to be very good.

If your source has more than one output you might consider a second converter for the other direction. Could likely find one used and save so money.

@mijostyn  I use the pure music program. Have used it with several converters and DACs. Each time one changes the device one must go into audio setup and change to the new one. It asked you to then reload the program. A very quick operation.

True, I meant start up or reboot, not reload. 

Yes I can understand the PITA if switching often every day.

Sorry to hear that. Good to know the US distributer was honest. Makes one wonder about M2Tech QA.
