Notes and Advices

Superseded information about configuring FooBar for DSD with Young DSD in the user manual

The information in the Young DSD user manual about configuring FooBar for DSD playback are no longer valid due to updates to FooBar code. Specifically, no more need to install DSD proxy. Please follow FooBar support info.

Windows 10 Driver incompatibility with Creators Update (hiFace, hiFace Evo, Young and Vaughan)

Customers owning the products above are adviced that the driver for Windows causes blue screen after applying the Creators Update (Version 1703). This is due to a incompatibility with Exclusive Access to the audio resource. To avoid blue screens, user should disable the Exclusive Access to the M2Tech device in use.

El Capitan and Sierra Driver for hiFace, hiFace Evo, Young and Vaughan

Customers owning the products above are adviced that no driver is presently available for their product. We developed a driver for El Capitan and Sierra back in April 2016. Then, we proceeded with certification of the the beta driver to start tests. Alas, the development tool which Apple provides for software development and certification has a bug related to certificates which prevents us from certifying the beta driver. Therefore, we cannot install it for testing and distribution.
We opened a support ticket with Apple soon after discovering the problem. Unfortunately, Apple was not able (or willing) to help solve the problem. Therefore, after a few weeks and a lots of solicitations by us, both through the support channel and other unofficial contacts, we had no answers.
Therefore, at the moment we cannot provide the driver for the listed devices which, fortunately, still work with Windows and Linux.

USB firmware update for XMOS-based devices

Of all M2Tech devices which USB in terface is based on XMOS technology, only the hiFace Two needs update. Due to the fact that different memory IC’s were used during production, and that each of them needs a specific firmware, we cannot release a single firmware for update.
On the other hand, we are aware that firmwares are unofficially available on the ‘net.
We kindly ask customer in need for update for their hiFace Two, not to use those firmwares; they should contact us, providing the serial number of their device (which can be found on the bottom of the case or on the back of the package paper wrap) and the version of the present firmware (which can be read from the “info” tab in Windows driver’s control panel of from the USB info in the hardware settings of Macs).

Joplin Update to MkIII

It is possible to update the Joplin to MkIII (at a cost). The update includes:

  • implementation of input impedance matching feature for MC cartridges
  • increase of input headroom to 2.55Vrms @ 0dB gain
  • optimization of phono eq curves to reduce the insertion loss (6-8dB dynamic increase)
  • replacement of the front panel board with a new one with OLED display
  • addition of the I2S output
  • firmware update
  • replacement of the case to Rockstars style

Customers who want to update their Joplin to MkII may contact their local distributor for a quote.
