Can you be more specific how to download the old driver. I tried archive.org but I can't find the download link.

Is this the same brand? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004316003214.html

Thing is that the cd player can sound even better, just I2s transfer, no cables, no jitter correction, and the dac chip is the same.

The fun thing is that can spin even without the cover. I think the price is ok, considering what others are selling for high end cd players.

Why is that? Because 2 cd players don't measure great? I thought at least jitter for a cd player should be better than an external dac, because the clock and the dac are in the same box. What do they mean by "All the signals that appear are original and the JITTER is very low!"?

Beautiful. Probably my next purchase. It's similar to my trusty Sony Playstation SCPH 1002, no dac or cd player has taken that place, you need just too much distortion to sound as good as a playstation does :).

I thought it was some kind of mono stereo source button. Really strange to have a bridge button on the front.

Mine seems ok. I wonder what brands are more reliable, it's a lottery I guess. If there is some kind of warranty then all brands are the same. It has a nice neutral sound, with a lot of detail. It wont make you listen for hours like vinyl do, but on good mastered albums it sings. I also tried...

I have spent hours and hours modding these cards. It all started with Creative xFi platinum and in that card replacing the stereo opamps with some modern LME4520 really made a huge difference. Then I got the beautiful EMU 1212M, 2 pci cards, the digital and the analog. Sound quality was very...

Unfortunately no. It's not recognised without a driver in windows.

I agree with vulejov on this one. At least they could test the drivers and remove windows 7 from compatibility list. I use my windows 7 as a media server, and honestly is way better than 10 or 11, Is there any old driver that can work with this chipset?

Nice dac. It works ok with my LG tv, there are no audio drops or lip sync problems, on optical in. Unfortunately I just can’t install the xmos driver on my windows 7 pc. It says installation ended prematurely. I’m using the driver posted on Sabaj web, xmox v5.50. Windows doesn’t recognized the...

You mean they used some capacitors when they shouldn't? No manufacture is doing that, they just want to cut costs, not otherwise. This version may measure a bit worse than the ESS 2022 version, but this one has the "velvet sound".:)

Amir, can you please tell us which of the sound colors has the worst SINAD?

Have you tried an universal remote, those have much better range. Or it's the receiver which is the culprit?
