Fran,
Thanks for bringing the thread back on-topic.
I can't really answer (I don't own any high-end kit as you know I'm a paid up frugophile & general skin-flint :) that's why I suggested a face-off with some of these!

Guys the cost of the gear is a red herring to me, I see what your writing but from listening to my pc setup and remembering my VRDS 10 transport with a Proceed (Mark Levinson) and an Audioquest DAC I suggest that there maybe some merit in giving my setup a hearing. So as I now have a few friends here, may I offer anyone interested to come to my home and take a look, all are welcome.

Sydneyk,
Where are you located? You have a PC audio set-up? Do you want to compare the JKHiface? I wasn't sure of your intent in your post.

You guys might be interested in a Positive Feedback round-up article, just published, on a wide range of USB transports http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue5 ... erters.htm My modified Hiface is mentioned :) Oh, he also positively refers to his use of the attenuators.

A more in-depth review is due out on the 10th from enjoythemusic. Scope shots & conclusions, I believe.
