Ordered the Hiface usb/spdif converter and it arrived today. Doesn't work with xxhighend, so I'll be sending it back unless...... I tried it in kernel streaming mode with media monkey and it sounded MUCH better than the M-Audio Audiophile usb that I currently use to convert usb to spdif. Now lets hope Engine #4 uses kernel streaming, cause media monkey just sucks compared to XX.

Doesn't work with xxhighend What happens ? Messages ? Don't send it back yet, and for others : don't get discouraged - yet. boleary, it may be your system, of which you know it is (somehow !) special. And FYI, my own Engine#3 not working anymore (as told in the other topic) is exactly and again related to that. Well, out of everyone, you know ... which in this case means I didn't change anything to the code part, but nevertheless it doesn't work anymore. There is just something going on in that WASAPI stuff which is still beyond me, although I expect it to be a compiler bug. |

With XX it doesn't show up as an output device in the settings tab. I don't get any error messages. To get it to work with media monkey I had to download Steve Monks kernel streaming DLL as a plug in to media monkey, then select that plug in within media monkey. Whats weird is that it doesn't show up in "Sounds" tab of control panel at all, but it does show up in device manager under Sound Controllers.

But if that is so (besides it doesn't look good to ma at all), not any normal player would be able to use it. I can indeed imagine Kernel Streaming is able to find the device, because KS depends merely on things like Direct Show filters, and once you know where they sit in your system, they can be controlled directly, without selecting any sound device first. Notice I am not in the stage of being able to select the Sound Device with KS (currently it takes the Primary), but at the moment I have worked that out, it will be more clear to me. Be careful though not to depend too heavily on KS as off yet, because you may not like it (for SQ) at all. But I think you will ...  |

Well, since engine #4 relies on Kernel Streaming I guess I won't send it back (I have up to 30 days to do so.) The spdif audio from the hiface is much superior to what I currently use. Can't wait to try it with XX!
Am at work now so I can't do any testing. Because the highface is supposed to work with Direct Sound it really should be showing up in "Sounds" in controll panel. I'm going to email the M2tech about this issue and will let you know what they say.

Just heard from M2tech. They will be releasing a wasapi driver for both Vista and Windows 7 sometime soon.

Very happy with my setup. See sig. Optical Spdiff is absolutely superb. Buffalo has a jitter correction anyway. Tried coax but could not hear an improvement, there was even less detail.
