| USB DA recommendation needed i think you are right, the wabeterminal seems smaller.what i like about the ua5 is that it really works without any drivers, thus the next system update is not going to trash it.This was one of my problems witht he audiophile:unstable driversactua... | |
| DACs: Airport Express vs waveterminal vs mini-dac I use the UA-5 and it sounds pretty good for its price and never causes crashes... | |
| USB DA recommendation needed I got some emails about the current status....So I ended up getting a Edirol UA-5. Setup way easier than the m-audio, basically plug and play.... and then I forgot about it :-) Sounds great to and hasn't given me a crash once in 3+ months. Works w... | |
| USB DA recommendation needed returned the audiophile and got a edirol ua-5.sounds pretty damn sweet and needs no drivers for 16bit sound.It is pretty universal since it has optical and coax as well.Of course a week after i got it m-audio released new drivers for the audiphile... | |
| beware ipod I like the sounds from my ipod. However, i am reencoding my CDs as 256 AAC instead of 160mp3. Seems to have better dynamics. | |
| USB DA recommendation needed Does it work after sleep?Would you mind trying it without the drivers? I dont want to waste $ on shipping stuff back and forth again.maybe m-audio has an answer... | |

| USB DA recommendation needed the squeezebox looks interesting! However, since I use the screen of, my cube to watch DVD's I cannot ban it from the living room. Thus wirelss is not needed, but maybe I get one for the bedroom! I am leaning towards the 2 step solution (sonica-da... | |
| Linn majik good or not? That was actually my initial idea... G4-DAC-Mackies.I actually listened to the Mackies. Nice sounding! A tad ugly for a living room :-) Anyway, I also listened to some B&W 705's with a B&W sub and liked their sound better. Because of that ... | |
| USB DA recommendation needed Thanks for the responses!To clarify....I have th firewire version of the audiophile and I am getting a lot of kernel panics. From the crash logs its pretty clear that its due to the m-audio drivers. I reinstalled the OS (10.3.2 and 10.3.3) and no ... |
