(InterFace)
Got the F-1 and its cheap aluminum project box yesterday. Drilled a nice hole in the back plate for the RCA SPDIF out, but not such a nice one for the USB-B input. F-1 secured in there and works great.
Plugged it in and fired it up and it sounds brilliant right out of the gate: both my friend and I felt like it was a significant improvement in soundstaging, quiet where there was no music, and detail. However, - we really need to do a back to back with it when there's more time. At a price that is just about the same as the HiFace2.
Glad I found out about these new XMOS based converters, thanks to BobC..

Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
