視乎你用咩dac，有d dac個usb部分真係唔及coaxial

Most of the USB connectors at the DAC are very poor. This applies for MD10, V-Dac & DacMagic. Hence, using an USB converter is a much better choice.

I'm using HA INFO Coaxial covertor(16/44) to experience the goodies from "CAS"; want to say that it's worth to begin with...............or start off with any 24/96 convertor to tell your feelings.

    I have tested all three DACs under HK$4000 from the bigger manufacturers: Cambridge Audio DACMagic, Musical Fidelity M1DAC, and Arcam rDAC.  To be honest, they all suck in different ways.  I was expecting a lot more, at least from the M1DAC, but it's disappointing.  Having said that, it's already better than DACMagic and rDAC -- these two are so far off that I didn't even bother to consider buying them.  (I have tested other cheap DACs as well and you literally have to pay me to take one home.)  I did end up buying an M1DAC just because I thought I needed a USB DAC, but it's just the one that sucks less...  Everything coming out of it sounds thin and flat, no matter you use USB, optical, or coaxial, connect it to a computer or a CD transport...  The problem with these new cheap DACs isn't really about the USB interface, but that they just aren't very well designed/ made...  Even funnier when people get all obsessed with this 24/192 thing...  It's almost silly...  I feel that I'm happier playing 192kbps MP3 files through my computer's onboard optical output to my 20-year-old 1-bit DAC and playing FLAC files via anything to these cheap DACs...

Think I digressed too much...  Anyways, if you must buy a new USB DAC under HK$4000, go for the M1DAC...  Otherwise, don't buy anything in that price range.
