Looks real good!!!

oh, these DAC needs to burn in as well? didn't know, i thot only headphones needs to do that
btw, how long is recommended for DAC to burn in?

Hi as you can read above i think this SC is not intended for a 5.1 and the only workaround would be using the matrix button mentioned above (i've never played with anything above 2.1!, so pardon me if I said some crappy stuff )
This USB DAC only has 1 x 3.5mm jack and for a 2.1 setup, correct me if I'm wrong, just trying to help here

From your Z640, this is what you mean with the 3 x 3.5mm jacks (My guess 1 x center, 1 x front, 1 x rear)


I think even if you have this converter, it would not do much of 5.1 and still intended for 2.1, that's why the use of Matrix. If you mod it with this, the sound still will be 2.1 on each position, and either too loud or too low volume. About how good would the Matrix be, I have no idea and need others to help you on this


Maybe need someone who has tested this card on a 2.1 setup and above and let you know how it would sound

I think what he mean is that the volume cannot be adjusted if you're using this sound card from the volume properties. You can only adjust the volume either from the Music Player or from the speaker physical volume knob itself
I read about the windows volume control not working from the previous post by someone before. I guess it is intended to be this way

Dont own a Mac but here's ur answer, Yes it does

I'd suggest you try to do this way to test

- while your power adapter is charging and connected to your laptop
- and if only run on laptop battery

see if got difference. Last time I do notice when I plug the laptop into the PA systems, if the power adapter is connected, it will have some noise. So I had to fully charge 4 laptops the night before the presentation

hope that helps

in the end, you can't prove anything with that picture.. end of case
I'm still enjoying my DAC, regardless where it came from
From the site it sells cheaper but of course those who bought from/bulk from other place will know international shipping just kills everything!

btw, I got a pm from that fellow as well. You can't just pm chchyong about it and ask him directly? Right now, ur making it big fuss. Why don't u sell yours away and get from that site directly?

I'm just thankful cos i get to get this DAC here

my feedback.. i have no idea on sound engineering whatsoever, just reply on my own ears
i like the mid and high on the curren WM8501 but would love to have more bass on it if possible
any chance for a mod on that?

No idea on what you've just said bro. No knowledge in these sorta thing
but your explanation sounds cun oh

ish, i dun dare lah
later i bakar the PCB, err i think i just stick with the stock hehe
thx anyway

btw, if it's not generating too much heat, i would third the notion of giving option for a case or not as well
when bring out with lappy, can protect much better from rough travelling in the bag

i wana custom put my name can? (optional, not a must)

btw, this thread off topic from the original already?
maybe chchyong should open a new one and we discuss there..
