The development at Human Audio turns to PC-based listening as well. At the end of this way one new device has born: "Tabla" which was the missing link until now for the people who wants to listening music from the PC on the higest level.

With this new device we're able to connect our existing audiophile / high-end DAC (or the next generation "Libretto HD" CDP) with the PC in order to listening audio streams up to 24bit/192kHz. Tabla needs only one free USB 2.0 port on the PC and the output is a coaxial digital (BNC or RCA) for the DAC direction. Based on the Human Audio philisophy this device is purely battery powered with the built in two pieces high-grade Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LiFeSO4) cells. The charging is fully automatized without any external device since the Tabla uses the USB power for charging purpose during idle.

Tabla can provide ultimate audio performance through the totally independent and smooth internal battery powering, ultra-low jitter circuits, specialized pulse transformer and of course with one of the best USB-Audio algorithms on the market from M2Tech. /Mac OS and Windows based PC's are supported/

Erm... So is that an M2Tech HiFace with the well-known mods in a shiny box?

That's about $890 USD.  Lot cheaper than the M2Tech Young ($1800), though the Young does go up to 32/384.
 
Looking forward to hearing some impressions.

I guess the comparison with M2Tech Young is not too fair, since the Young has a built-in DAC stage as well.
BUT, one of the main difference between the Tabla and others is the pure, special internal battery powering which is huge improvement from any regular PSU or even the crappy USB direct powering. The charging of Tabla is very simple and easy since that could use the "crappy" USB power for charging purpose (automatized way) only during idle times.
 The first public listening review will be soon from Srajan on 6moons.com.

A more appropriate comparison would be to an M2Tech Evo powered by LiFePo batteries. Though that combo would be half the price of the Tabla.
