This thread is rather long, can OP edit the first post showing exactly what we need to check. Unless it is there and not showing, I plan on buying one soon.
Good point ninjikiran, but I still need to find time to do the SoX tests and draw some preleminary conclusions before editing my first post. Unfortunaltely, I don't know of other ways to find out wether you have small oscillators or not in your unit, unless you decide to open the device.
I would like to see slim.a do a side-by-side review of these two units...
I am also a happy owner of a (modded) hiface but I hope that m2tech can solve the problem (free of charge) for those who are stuck with such units.
This issue might explain why there were so many disagreements about the sound of the hiface. People were just describing (almost) 2 different devices.
Then read the thread, there are three.
regal. My man... This is the only post in this thread by slim.a, and as you can see, there is no side by side comparison.
I sincerely appreciate your contribution to this forum and I really mean it. No one can deny the knowledge and help you have been providing to those of us who are technologically impaired, but seriously, sometimes you can be a pain...
It's all good though, no hard feelings.
I am still interested in a review of both these units by slim.a...
Peace.
anyone have one with 2 clocks they would send me i want to see how bad it sounds
Have any of you tried using the application included with the latest hiFace driver called 'display.exe'? It is supposed to show bit depth and sample rate, but it does not work with my hiFace. I wonder if this would mean I have the wrong clocks? I told Marco about this some time ago and he said he would let his programmer know. I havent heard anything since and still no driver update.
Mine never worked.
Would it be incorrect to think that if you can realize significant improvements by feeding a below par oscillator (clock) battery power, you will obtain even greater improvements doing the same thing with a good oscillator?

Update on mine: following shahrose's example (Thanks!), I opened up my unit to see what the I have - big or small? To my surprise, I have one big and one small one. I've heard of people having either/or, but not both... I am attaching some pics for everyone to see.
