However, it is working most of the time without problems and it is the most reliable USB device I know. Other (m-audio things I heard at the friends pits) were terrible.
I can't wait to connect it to RME when it arrives... |
Glad you are satisfied with the Mini-DAC. When you say connect it to your RME, does that mean you are using RME for your A/D? I'm trying to research all of the professional Digital to Analog converters and of course checking the prices. I'm not mixing anything here at my home studio. I just do tracking here. But I still recognize the importance of a good D/A for accurate monitoring and playback. Does the USB version of the Mini-DAC cost more like the Mini-Me with USB does? I really need a good stereo D/A. I've narrowed my choices to Apogee Mini-DAC, Lucid D/A, Mytek 96k D/A, and if I can save more- a Benchmark DAC1 with USB. But how does the USB capability produce latency?
