Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
Vetnik: Which driver verison? Because I have dealt directly with Marcos via emials and they acknowledge that the driver is NOT bit perfect, it drops the LSB. Now the new beta driver for Snow Leopard according to Marcos has solved that problem, als...

Rei_iii I have all the filters in a playlist in itunes called "Custom Filters" and I can change them at will. I have worked with all of them extensively :) At the end of the day, I think it sound overall best with the default filter (probably why ...

Earflappin: Thanks for your post, I find what you have written interesting. It could simply be poor implementation of the USB/DAC interface. My MSB PowerDac for instance stores the data into an internal ram buffer and then clocks it out using its ... 
Help: My newly upgraded AA Capitole gives no sound
This is interesting and I am watching Audio Aeros response carefully. I have been very weary of buying items from overseas due to issues such as this. Having said that...I have owned the Kora 100SB Triodes and when one of the units ran amok, Kora ...

Yes, I have abandoned regular CD playback altogether. I have never heard either the 781 or the 9 series. I did have a 581 (NOT the SE) which I could not stand. My uncle had the 781 and the 931/922 system. He really liked the 9 series, I am not pos...

I wont have it before the end of April. I can say that my MSB Power DAC is sounding better, it may be that this thing just needs MEGA breakin...

Thanks for the heads up. I was looking into the various versions just yesterday. If you are not archiving vinyl this would be the better (read) cheaper way to go. :)

Further use of the HiFace unit has proven insightful. While I think they have a potentially great product on their hands and I am glad it exists, it is simply not ready for the mac as yet...at least in MY case. While the popping has stopped for so...

Clarification: I wrote:Sometimes there is a slight delay, (concerning the use of Pure Vinyl in memory mode)....I was referring to the time between the start of the next song, NOT during song playback which would be totally unacceptable :)

Ok, it appears that for some reason unbeknown-st to the makers of the Hiface (their words)some macs still have the clicking and popping problem. They are working on a new driver. New things, I have finally given up on Amarra, it simply destroys ve... 
Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
Well, I have the Hiface (BNC version) and while I hear great promise, mine unfortunately has the clicking/popping issue which I thought this latest batch was supposed to address. I do hear a great deal of promise with the unit, I have contacted Mi... 
Playback Designs MPS-5 related question....
The problem is when they introduce "next generation" and your unit cannot be upgraded. I wonder yout thought on the sugject with this company (Tinn etc) ?I guess I don't get your line of thought. So you are saying that it is a problem because in 1...

OK, FINALLY... my M2Tech HiFace is going to be delivered today. I can't wait to try it out and report its capabilities. I will keep you posted. 
Playback Designs MPS-5 related question....
FYI, the Music Playback DAC is software upgradeable, sooo the mkII line of thinking doesn't really apply. You simply download the latest algorithms and wah-lah :) 
Einstein The Final Cut vs. Graaf GM20 Mono
Fosse: It was in fact the Final Cut OTL amp. Sorry about the HUGE delay in getting back to you, I had forgotten about this thread and have been deep into DAC comparisons and reviews.
