I spent a few hours yesterday giving a listen to this little beast. I had an urge to try a DAC with distortion levels nearer to that of Vinyl, and hudz very kindly sent this Breeze Audio Mini USB DAC to me for experimental listening and tinkering. Unfortunately I get only modulated sound from the unit if I use the usb, so first port of call is to try and sort that out. Any suggestions? I'll throw some better pics up later and listening impressions.  |

Have you set your playback to 16bit? and no more than 48000hz
Even so I remember the usb to be a bit wooly, so a more recent receiver chip may be a good shout.

I have it at the moment Brian. It keeps losing lock on USB but works OK on coax input.
Turns out the chip is a bitstream chip so not NOS as hoped.

K, I'm just about to whip these off a pair of Spotfire. I've gone back to fully RCA. Think they cost £50ish for the set. If you want them, chuck £30 at me and ill post them over. One of the plugs has the latching clip missing but it makes absolutely no difference here.    Think these may be in the wrong thread Oli. |
