Oh wow.. just tried the Centrance Universal Driver and have it on ASIO in Foobar. Got some sound improvement over native WASAPI. Will see the the latency remains true or not cause I tend to have dropouts on windows native drivers when on heavy external usb hard disk activity.

But with centrence driver, you have to manually set the bitrate now. Doesn't seems to auto-switch like native drivers. Well at least it is bit4bit now smile.gif

No more itch for new DAC. Yet.

Hey guys have anyone of you auditioned the centrance dacport vs centrance dacmini and lavry da11 as a dac unit? Is there any noticeable improvement? I find that the centrance dacmini on headphone out is very strong competitor alright but haven't compare it with the lavry DA11 on headphone out and dac.

Lavry still wins a little compare to DACmini, but the price... is different.
Transparency and musicality still lose a bit, but what do u want more? for me it is just good enough.

Just wanted to know which is the ultimate dac among them with good musicality. The lavry DA11 balanced out is a plus factor.

Ya i know that's why i'm actually looking for basically the best dac that can be afforded. Something that do well with musicality and won't restrict the sound. So transparency, details, and all other benefit associated with dac is very important to me. I'm not really going to purchase now just only doing some survey to narrow down my target.

Good one. I find that centrance dacport already is a strong performer. So if the LX is better than dacport then you will definitely love it. But the problem is that I already have HIFIMAN HM602 as a dac and their performance compare to dacport is too close to justify the cost of spending that much on dac. So may dac must be able to far exceed the performance of hifiman.

akuma no hana & noobandroid, check out audio-gd range of DACs as well as Meier stageDAC as i find they are more musical than lavry but not as neutral.
as for centrance, DACport is a good portable solution if you like the amp. for DACmini, i feel that the stageDAC is a much stronger performer. not heard the DACport LX, so no comment.

Stole this badass during KLAV2013 from Jaben at RM599. Immediately add life to my 24/96 source downloaded from HDtracks. Also da bao my E7 in terms of clarity and clean presentation. Quite to my surprise, this cigar can drive my HD650 at moderate level. Though I lost some power from E7/E9 combo, I gained better sound presentation from the dacport, which is a more important factor to me especially listening to female vocal.

RM599 is truely no brainer, and a bold move from Jaben. :-)
