It sounds like you got the impression that I'm powering the Diverter's circuitry from the USB V+ line directly, with no further conditioning. Nothing could be further from the truth; in fact there are three very high performance regulators inside, and quite a bit of pre-regulator filtration as well. My point in these posts is simply that for something like USB to SPDIF conversion, the USB's V+ line is a perfectly workable starting point, and if it's processed properly, it can be the basis of a truly high-performance power supply.


Thats not what I was trying to imply, but I figured that there are better starting points than the USB +5V, and that with USB there is no "standard" starting point either. And well, this doesn't only apply to your product so I'll keep this post over here.

I have gotten the newer driver from m2tech last Saturday, and ran the song non-stop. The stability has improved drastically, and I haven't seen the BSOD once so far. So, i think that' a good start.

I have run into foobar unresponsive time to time, but I do not know whether that is related to the driver or not, but I reported this back to the m2tech.

I heard that they are getting a digital signature for the 64bit driver very soon and will be releasing a 1.02 with both 32/64 bit drivers very soon, and Mac drivers in 10+ days. I will be testing that driver as well, so I will notify with any updates.

I think those plot pictures show more than thousand words. Laptop would be the most ideal solution, but even with PC, the power supplies seem to be more than okay for this type of device.

Depends on the option you've taken. I got it with BNC output and that adds about $11-15 euro. I can't recall exactly.

But, all in all, I paid like $160. If you go with RCA, it would be $140 or so, I assume.

There is no true 75ohm rca connector. Also, my DAC provides BNC input. So, it's natural for me to go with true 75ohm BNC to BNC. You can get 75 ohm RCA cable, but that differs from connector type.

You basically send an email and they send out the paypal to your email address. Once confirmed with payment, they ship it after it's built.

It's not an online purchase per se like amazon, but you do not send your CC # either.

I am happy to report that 1.02 beta driver that I am testing is very solid. No crash or BSOD so far. I just got a newer version that is now properly signed and have 1 more defect fixed. I foresee this will be released soon.

1.02beta works in Foobar and Winamp using KS kernel.

there seems to be a lot of comparison with the musiland 01 - but this directly competes in the price range of musiland 02(which reviews seems to indicate are significantly better).... any comments on which one(M2tech of musiland 02) is better?

@tosehee:

Since my setup is pretty much the same as yours - can you describe more in detail the perceived audio differences between Monitor 01 USD and M2tech converters?

I am, at the moment, using Monitor 01 USD (XP with latest 1.0.5.0 drivers, BNC output) connected through externally powered USB hub and I'm very pleased with it. But if this M2tech "dongle" is so much better...

Thanks
