這個團購的話PTT那邊之前才剛跑完一個大團而已......
不過目前幾個review看來 , 這顆的音質應該是略遜於RME 9632.....

好奇一下
要如何比較阿? 一鍋是轉換介面 一鍋是音效卡
難道是外接dac來尬嗎???

[windwalker]

當然啊.....兩邊都有S/PDIF輸出 , 當然是接DA來尬.... XD

慢慢來想一下

意外發現，USB版不出了

曾聽過玩CAT高手說過不管USB用哪種模式，都有著無法避免的問題...所以像berkeley audio design這款alpha DAC就沒USB,



不過最近聽說benchmark media HDR DAC1的USB很強很強很強，spec測的很好，就不知道是否有網兄嚐鮮聽過了:)

USB不可避免的問題？是否能具體些...

Buffalo LinkStation Mini NAS Drive

Compact Dual Drive NAS Solution Gets a Performance and User Interface Overhaul


Buffalo Technology just announced an enhanced model of the sleek and compact dual drive LinkStation Mini™. Featuring increased performance, silent operation, a new user interface and support for RAID 0 and RAID 1, the LinkStation Mini offers a feature-rich network storage solution like no other, wrapped up in a small, lightweight package. Fast, reliable, compact, and silent, the LinkStation Mini fits into any environment.

Buffalo's dual drive LinkStation Mini network storage server offers a variety of features for home and business users. Quickly back up, store and share documents, music, photos and videos in a secure, central location with easy access from multiple computers simultaneously. Support for RAID 0 and RAID 1 provides users the choice between maximum capacity and performance or maximum redundancy and reliability.


"Buffalo strives to provide consumers with intuitive solutions that are simple to install and use, so that protecting digital assets is almost automatic," said Ralph Spagnola, vice president of sales at Buffalo Technology. "With the compact dual drive LinkStation Mini, Buffalo has delivered a powerful yet compact network attach storage drive that can quickly and securely protect data, photo, video, and music files from a central location with the automatic protection of RAID 1."

Paired with two 2.5" hard drives and measuring in at 1.57 x 3.22 x 5.31 inches, the LinkStation Mini is the smallest NAS on the market, fitting in the palm of your hand. The fanless design ensures reliable, near silent operation for noise-sensitive settings such as studios, bedrooms, and living rooms. Perfect for streaming multimedia, the LinkStation Mini features gigabit Ethernet connectivity and exceptional performance in a small package.


Available in 500GB and 1TB capacities, the LinkStation Mini incorporates an impressive array of small business features including Active Directory integration, user and group permission settings, and secure SFTP remote access. Also included is the Remote Power Feature, a tool used to power up the unit remotely using the included Navigator software. The USB port on the back of the unit can serve as a method of expansion by adding an external hard drive or it can be used to attach a printer to the network via the integrated print server. Additionally, LinkStation Mini supports UPS alerting, so the unit can gracefully shutdown in the unexpected event of a power failure.

As a DLNA CERTIFIED ™ media server, the LinkStation Mini streams content to any DLNA compatible media device, including PlayStation 3 and Buffalo's LinkTheater products. The LinkStation Mini is also an iTunes® server, seamlessly integrating with and allowing iTunes access to music files stored on the server's hard drives. Support for Apple® Time Machine® and Apple File Protocol (AFP) make it well suited for any Mac® environment. And for anyone on-the-go, Buffalo's free Web Access feature makes it a cinch to store, share and access files from any web browser via a PC, Mac or iPhone®.
