received the dac today.

very good sound from my supremefx x-fi, more clear and bass is very good too.

any1 here interested to try dis dac?? goin to let go mine..pm me

Wow so fast let go adi? Why not happy with this DAC huh?

i installed asio4allv2 on my xp pc but it does not show up under playback out.whts wrong?

You have to install the foobar component for foobar and then configure the asio driver under the preference then it will appear.

THe DAC is very good, but some Cons here that is it lose resolution when the volume is decreased. I have build a attenuation box and it works perfectly now, will share the picture later.

I wonder, if the iPod cable is connected to it will it work?

yeah the level was not that happein before i installed the asio4all with my C3 edifier.now its THE BOMB.clear as SHIT.the low end on my subs r kicking clean.

hi, may i ask what is asio4all and foobar is? thanks~

not sure bout asio but foobar is a music player for your computer

since windows media player sux, foobar is available to save you from low qualities of music

Asio is a type of owl......Just kidding! (Actually, no I'm not)

Anyways, it is a protocol between a software application and the sound card. Short for Audio Stream Input-Output. Duno the technicalities behind it, that's all I can remember of it.

so it's like an artificial soundcard driver?
something like SRS Audio Sandbox?

i see. i tried to google it but it doesnt really helpful. its like enhancement software or just a music player?

Not really I think.
You can look it up with Google or Wikipedia. I'm too lazy to look it up again.
It's a low-latency and a high-fidelity way of getting the software application(like Foobar) to communicate with the sound card(or in this case the DAC). I think I got it right.
It's not in any way enhancing the sound, it just tries to reproduce it through the soundcard/DAC as cleanly as it can with little interruption in between.

i see. so if i am to install it, i shud install asio4all 1st and the foobar 2nd eh. thanks

I think you install foobar first and get the Asio4all plugin for it.

ouh. okay. im waiting for my new DAC and cables odw. then windows 7. then i can install the foobar..hohoo..

Sorry to to hear that, this dac is more suitable when drive with headphone amp and headphone. For C3 may be you need a pre amp before pump it to C3.
I think now I am getting best of it, from all the DIY stuff I use.

PCM2704-> Cable-> Passive Attenuation Box (Volume Control) -> Cable -> Fiio E3 -> SHP2700/PX100.

All volume set to max 100%, no need to touch anything in foobar just install ASIO.

Something like this???


Hehe.. actually can try something like Fiio E3, cheap but need to feed battery. Fiio E5 got rechargeable one.
