| Great Pre/Pro with USB DAC? Agree with Kr4 - check out the M2Tech Hiface | |
| M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it? Thanks for the follow-up Cdm. I have the same feeling about John Kenny. Here in Mexico one cannot send insured mail (believe it or not), so I have given my HiFace to a friend headed back to the States. She will be mailing it to John from there. As... | |
| iMac far from audo rack - any suggestions? Ejlif: Sorry to take so long to respond - I wasn't paying attention! Yes, I have used both a very short Toslink and a very short USB to my signal converter which sits on the desk next to the Mac Pro then the long run to the processor (DAC). Never ... | |
| Is it proper to leave amp on all the time? If you have amps that draw as much current in standby as they do while working you may find your power bill going through the roof if you leave them on all the time. That was my personal experience. Now I shut them down completely when the listeni... | |
| M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it? John - thanks for joining in. (Pete B here) Cdm - I'm with you. That extra 5% isn't worth all the trouble. You must have kept your original HiFace and had John do a mod on another one. Smart move actually. I've had the same thought. If both are wo... | |
| M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it? Cdm: How were you going to provide the HiFace with that extra 5V that normally comes from the Mac if you were using the Modded USB cable? Your experience has caused me to scratch the Modded USB cable anyway, | |
| M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it? One thing that still confuses me - so the modded Hiface comes with a 3.3V external power supply (batteries). This I understand but apparently the Hiface STILL needs the 5V power supply from the Mac for some other purpose. If you opt to purchase th... | |
| M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it? I suspect this will never end as more manufacturers get on the band wagon. The answer seems to be, pick your product, like it, live with it. The new one that Blindjim refers to has options that I would never use but will no doubt be an awesome lit... | |
| M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it? You are correct Cdm, John Kenny is quick to respond to E-Mails. Addressing your charger issue - I noticed on his website that he recommends not using any charger that puts out more than 3A in the charging mode. (initially it said 2A but that was a... | |
| iMac far from audo rack - any suggestions? Like Sufentanil I have used both Toslink direct and a Toslink>SPDIF converter (Pop Pulse) from the Mac to the Processor and couldn't tell the difference between them. My distance from the Mac to the processor is about 35'. The one thing that DI... | |
| M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it? Blindjim I had a direct quote but now I can't find it but as I recall it would cost another $150-$170. Depends also on whether you get your own battery charger or have the modifier supply it. Same with the modified USB cable that eliminates the po... | |
| Upgrade advice Streetdaddy - See the comments in my thread regarding the M2Tech under this same discussion forum. You will see that those that have responded feel that it was well worth the money. I could not agree more! It made a very noticeable difference in m... | |
| M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it? Indeed the M2Tech has been an impressive tweak in my system also. Now I am wondering if there would be enough additional improvement by going for the mod. If you have the mod, let us know if that is another step up or only a minor change not worth... | |
| "Neck and Neck" Mark Knopfler/Chat Atkins Yep, picked up Neck and Neck at a pawnshop - what could I lose? Turned out to be one of my all time favorites. I think I'll play it now. | |
| M2Tech HiFace - using it? Like it? I had the same experience Cdm! Tell me about the modified version. |
