Anyone Have M2Tech Gear? Looking for opinions

The SPDIF thumb I have plugged into my PC sounds better than toslink from the soundcard or straight USB to the same DAC.

I have the M2Tech HiFace USB/SPDIF converter and have enjoyed it with my MacBook pro. No need for a USB cable. The Evo is an upgrade, though can't say how it would compare to your Alpha which is supposed to be very good.

@stereo5 , We are about a 2 hour drive at most from each other. If I ever go down that way or you up here perhaps we can get together. It is always fun to hear other systems.

@fabbe, Thank  you Fabrizio. Given the political situation in our country I would love to move to yours!

@mesch, Thank you. The problem is that I need to send the signal in two directions and the Alpha USB won't do that but the M2Tech will. If I get it I will go full zoot with the outboard clock and power supply. It should be very close to the Alpha but it is an $1800 gamble. At least I'm gambling on the Italians and not the Chinese:-)

If your source has more than one output you might consider a second converter for the other direction. Could likely find one used and save so money. 

@mesch, Unfortunately Channel D's Pure Music program only allows you one output device. Not sure why. So I can only use one converter at a time. Another Alpha would also cost a little more. 

I ordered the M2Tech Gear and will report on it after I have had time to evaluate it. It is supposed to arrive on the 27th. My wife will have to be home to sign for it. She hates signing for audio gear:-)
