Just got mine just now.
My very brief review is, everything is louder and clearer from the T-Muso compared to my Realtek built-in soundcard. Will test it on my laptop and office PC (crappier soundcard) later. |

![]() My complete review of T-Muso USB DAC. Source: HP Compaq Desktop (Office) Player: foobar2000 Can: ATH-ES7 Genre: Pop/Folk / Song: Reza Salleh - Kasih.flac SoundMAX HD (Built-in soundcard): Bassline sounded louder than T-Muso. Volume is at mid. But when the instruments mixed together, everything became muddied. T-Muso: Sounded surprisingly lower than the soundcard. But the music/instruments are more clearer. Conclusion: The differences during intro and verses are unnoticeable but when the instruments+vocals came together, T-Muso WINS. You can hear the instruments clearly and everything(volume level)blends nicely. Genre: Rock / Song: 30 Seconds to Mars - Beautiful Lie.mp3 (320kbps) SoundMAX HD (Built-in soundcard): Most of the time, sounds are OK. But at times at higher volume, the sounds kinda muddied or digitalized. T-Muso: Much much clearer sound. Volume levels for each instruments blends nicely. Unlike SoundMAX, the guitar distortions are more subtle. Not too loud, but the crunch is clearer. Conclusion: T-Muso again! The clarity is noticeable even for a rock song like this. Genre: Instrumental/Experimental / Song: Solanin OST - ENT - Pneuma.flac SoundMAX HD (Built-in soundcard): The overall sound doesnt blends well when everything kicks in. But its unnoticeable during intro and verses. T-Muso: Just like the previous songs, its sound clarity are obvious. The volume level might be lower, but when the music kicks in, its just beautiful. For a song with strings and drums&bass, T-Muso really compliments it. Conclusion: Both sounded closer during intro and verses. But when the music kicks in, T-Muso WINS again! SoundMAX is just too loud and muddied. Overall thoughts: T-Muso is surely a big change from your typical soundcards. I like the fact that it is portable as I "travel" alot. And it is also USB-powered. So only the USB cable is needed. For those who are not sure what to buy, and not willing to pay for those expensive DACs as starters, this is for you! For me, this is one of my Audiophiles-Starter-Kit (as what I like to call it). This post has been edited by EightPhantomz: Aug 4 2011, 08:08 AM |

Will it worth the wait for you to release to next version? I'm really new to all these so hope you dont mind to explaining. for me in brief ~ OScon (less noise) 330uf for headphone/speaker 220uf(OScon SS) or 100uf for amp/speaker Silmic2 for thicker mids for headphone Nichicon MUSE BP for clarity and details and more to come MUSE FG(musical), Blackgates(donno real or fake caps havent arrived yet), philips caps etc etc etc |

Went and meet the seller today at Sunway Pyramid to get my DACs
Initially I told him that I wanted to buy only one DAC, yet he decided to come to Sunway Pyramid during Saturday near buka puasa time (really hard to find parking man, had to drive all the way up to the roof top to get my parking) We went to Starbucks non-smoking area for an area with less noise in order to really test the DACs, seller decided to spend me a latte because today's my birthday! woot, free audition and free drinks lol, awesome. (btw, he didn't even check my IC Anyway, he took out 4 different type of DACs, from OScon 330uf, OScon 220uf, Nichicon Muse and Elna Silmic2. He hint me on the signatures of each of the caps then suggested me to try every single one of them. Started with OScon 330uf, I am not an audiophile person myself, so my hearing may not be as precise, neither is my explanation as well. Nonetheless, the OScon 330uf is more fun for me, I'd say the audio line has more variables. Suitable for people like me who listens to all range of musics. Then I tried the OScon 220uf, the sound is similar to 330uf. There's a slight difference from 330uf but I couldn't sense it, perhaps my hear is numb after listening to the OScon 330uf. (I tested with several songs, including rock, hip hop, vocal songs for each and every DAC) Then I tried the Elna Silmic2, whoa... the mids... is damn awesome, if you are a vocal or mid person and who could care less about the bass, this is the one to go. The vocals voice that goes through the Silmic2 caps is so precise and focus. If you'd listen carefully, you can even actually imagine the artist's lips shaping to produce the sound we call music. Last I tried Nichicon Muse, the DAC that should be coupled with an AMP. Beware, nichicon is very clear, it drills to the detail of the music. You can really hear the minor minor details of the song, but the problem is... it's awesome that you can hear details. But overall, it gets tiresome for me because everything sounds so equally good and none of them outshine each other, making the song sounds flatter. However, if you're a bassy person, you should really give nichicon muse a green light Spent about 2 hours trying out all these DACs, ended up buying three of them. One for myself, two for my friends. In brief, I'd highly recommend this seller to everyone. Not only is he friendly, he's also honest about his products. If you were to find a seller, might as well find one who's interested and passionate in his field, and Slevin is one of those people. *P.S: It really was my birthday yesterday lol.
