not even willing to release the specification and allow other developers to do ALSA drivers! This is even worse

...during past year I sent 5 messages to Marco asking about Linux driver. The response to the latter (15th of January) was the following: Linux driver development is halted due to intellectual property rights matters. I've lost any hope to ever see a hiFace Linux driver

...costing more than the device? Isn't there any other USB cable split that way?

...any news about the third chapter of your tale?

other than M2tech gear? Just to know what you have tried up to now

any update on the Berkeley USB to S/PDIF converter? And have you ever tried the M2tech hiFace, that seems a bargain at that price?<br /> <br /> Have a nice day,<br /> Fabrizio

...that due to these various (unexpected?) bugs in both OsX and Windows driver, the Linux users are still without any driver for the hiFace That's really disappointing, I'd like to try the hiFace with my MPD setup but I'm stuck because of that.

Have you ever tested the hiFace device? Could you share the url of the USB View software? I'm not able to find it Thanks Fabrizio

...the usb input of the PSA DLIII works in adaptive mode, while the hiFace uses the asynchronous mode with proprietary drivers. I've waiting for the hiFace too, I'm hoping the hear the same improvement here!

...can read the cuesheet and load all data from it. Then just select all files, right click, "convert" and choose the format you like more (eg. FLAC). Btw, by default *.cue files are not loaded into playlist, so remove the extension from the ignore list in the advanced options.

...what I know for sure is that that dealer sells the BADA also to customers outside Switzerland (for example Italy), so if a EU citizen is interested it's a good idea to drop a message to digitalcom

Here is the official distributor http://www.digitalcom.ch/

...new drivers are available, for both Mac and Windows (with WASAPI support). Have you tried them yet?

...four years ago we had really a great time here in Turin, I wish you the same now in Vancouver! Back to the topic, from the Lynx AES16 specs I read: Eight stereo inputs and eight stereo outputs 24-bit AES/EBU format, transformer coupled Also the RME HDSP9632 provides this "feature": AES/EBU: 1 x XLR, transformer-balanced, galvanically isolated, according to AES3-1992 output voltage 3.5 Vpp So how is it possible to hear such improvement only because of a further isolation? Isn't the soundcard isolation enough? Maybe a RMAA analysis with and without the Antelope DA in place could help in understanding what's going on...

And what do you think about the USB2-->AES3 box? Depending on the price it could be a cheaper alternative to the Lynx Aes + Antelope DA combo, I'm wondering if it can even improve the level of performance or with the BADA there will always be an unbreakable wall of 50ps jitter, due to the AES input http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/Reclockers#comment-33723
