But then again, at the price the seller is selling, it's a steal.I have a friend who's into electronics, and I'll bet that he will be buying this thing as well, purely for research purposes.

I am getting this DAC after my purchase of an amp soon. Hope it's as good as what you people say.

Just curious. I'm not familiar with audiophile lingo as of yet, but does slow means that the music can become cluttered, with little separation between sounds in the music, as the music gets more complex with more sound and faster tempo?

Owh. I just want to learn how to describe things, to make it easier for me to understand reviews and writing my own.
Most of the time I can't find the right word to describe what I'm hearing.This post has been edited by tunertoobe: Oct 23 2010, 10:15 PM |

Ah crap, I am absolutely dry at the moment. I'd have to wait till December. The seller PM'ed me about the arrival, but I was devastated that I am actually very frickin' dry on cash at the moment. Living off my parents now.
Hope the seller can re-stock by December. |

I think I'll amp this thing with a Voyager, see how that goes.
When I get both of them that is. |

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. |

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

QUOTE(vivakarna @ Dec 29 2010, 02:24 AM) just recieved it today..what can i say this dac has more controlled than onboard soundcard..the sound become more clear, bass is tight and doesn't have harsh treble like the onboard sc. They probabaly need more power as the DAC doesn't have an amp in it.one thing i'm not sure, when I connect my speaker directly to onboard sc, the sound is more louder compare when i connect with the dac..is it normal? is this call analogue signal? haha~ i'm using foobar2k(asio) > DAC > Mx5021.  |

Yes, any amp will do, as long as it has the appropriate interconnects.
