Are you waiting for a Linux driver for the m2tech hiface device?


Recommended Posts

Yes, I actually agree. My only point is that I have serious issues with any company that says they cannot issue a Linux driver because of legal reasons. Too much work, too expensive, or simply that they don't want to - that I will buy.

 

Legal reasons as a reason to not distribute drivers? Nope. Too many ways to get around it.

I read:

"Jesus Christ Keith, does this represent a complete turnaround for M2tech. Linux, product on time, where will it stop?"

 

"The 2 is betterer than the original much betterer in fact,!"

 

"It does sound better more like the EVO, easy to install, Linux compatability ASIO with Windows just a better all round package,albeit more expensive."

 

"I have just managed to install the HiFace 2 on my mac and get it set up with Pure Music. I'm running it in Hog Mode.

 

Its connected to a Rega Dac.

 

Previously I was using a V-Link.

 

 

Well first impressions are OMG!! A veil has been lifted! The haze has gone!

 

I put on David Bowie Outside, basically because I have found the mix on some of the tracks to be hazy and confused. Now I've always been unsure if it was the V-Link or the DAC that was the problem. Well straight away from the first track I knew it was the V-Link - the mix came alive!

 

The background voices that were previously muffled were perfectly clear! I could hear new things in the mix - it like I was peeling away all the haze and hash of the V-Link and getting a deeper insight into the mix of each song. The bass was more textured and powerful. Bowie's voice took on a life like quality that, during the track 'A Small Plot of Land', it was like he was in the room! I could hear all the nuances of the guitar solo on 'Strangers When We Meet' that put a big grin on my face. I could hear backing vocals that I had not heard before. The list could go on.

 

I've only managed to listen to four tracks tonight because I started late and I don't play stuff after 9pm because of the neighbours. But first impressions are extremely positive. Its like I've bought a new DAC.

 

I can't wait to have another listen tomorrow!

 

On a negative note Pure Music crashed when I chose another song, which it never did with the V-Link. I hope its just a one off."
