M2Tech HiFace DAC Compact in size with hi-end performance, the M2Tech HiFace DAC has been conceived to make hi-end equipment performance at hand to budget-conscious audiophiles, without any compromise. One HiFace DAC and a laptop, Mac Mini or even an iPad make for a hi-end music system at the cost of a middle range digital interconnect. The HiFace DAC includes all necessary features to be the perfect DAC for all kind of hi-fi systems: asynchronous data transfer mode on USB 2.0, compliance to USB 2.0 Audio Class (no drivers needed for MacOS, IOS, Linux and Android), very low phase noise oscillators and last-generation conversion IC capable of 384kHz and 23 bits. Windows users will enjoy it in Direct Sound, Kernel Streaming, WASAPI and ASIO (depending on the OS version), while Mac users will be able to take advantage from Integer mode and Direct mode. While the HiFace DAC output is purposely designed to give its best with an amplifier's or preamp's line level inputs, it may also be used to drive medium- and high-impedance headphones: try it with iPhone's in-ear headphones. Low Jitter, Low Phase Noise, High Stability Oscillators Most audio interfaces and USB-provided DACs refer the data stream clock to the same USB interface clock, which often suffers a very heavy jitter (short range oscillator frequency variations). Thanks to HiFace DAC's two quartz precision oscillators, clock source for internal interface to the conversion IC features a very low jitter. Low jitter produces a very limited sound image distortion and degradation. Phase noise (main responsible for jitter) is also very low: this guarantees a short and long range clock stability, also reinforced by a board supply voltage regulation (e.g. at environmental temperature stability is 2-5ppm approximately, compared to 50-100ppm performed by oscillators normally used on commercial CD players). USB 2.0 Audio Compliance No need for a custom driver. Using the HiFace
