Alright, I'm tempted to join the drop, but I have a question or two (probably already answered but buried in the thread), what is the difference between this and the DACport HD? Which one is the better buy (Just got the K7XX if that helps anyone answer my question)?

SomeTechNoobTL;DR: Barely anything, unless you're a crazy serious audiophile I doubt you'd hear any difference at all.
RestlessKnightTechnical answer: HD has 3DB more level. This will be important with some headphones, but not K7XX. Also, HD can do DSD and 384 kHz. Otherwise, they are very similar.

CEntranceFirmware unlock my Slim to HD :3.
But anyways how is that Monday release looking for the W10 driver is that still likely or would I be waiting until later in the week?
m4rkbr0wnSlim firmware won't work on HD and HD firmware won't work on Slim. They have different hardware.
Firmware updaters will be posted on our website tomorrow. That solves all USB port issues.
Windows 10 Driver is coming soon. Should know more next week.

CEntranceWell that's good and bad to hear lol, I still haven't been able to use mine because of the freezing issue, I HATE hard resetting my machine and it's bad to anyways I can only get a couple songs a listen before it happens.
I want to get a Tidal subscription but don't want to commit if my hardware to get full use of the HiFi subscription isn't functional... Hopefully working during the week shall take my mind off things for awhile.
m4rkbr0wnHang in there bro, we are on it. Thanks for your patience!

lazerusYeah I had read that while taking a look around their library from their website, they let you listen up to 30sec on a track through there web player also, It's really got me wanting to jump on the HiFi subscription but I want to get the most of the 30 day trial so I was going to sign up once the DACport is in working order so I can be sure I want to stick with it.
But I'm sure I will as just sampling tracks and listening to there "HiFi explained" video makes me feel like I've been missing out my whole life on music, I'm going to downgrade my AT&T phone plan to compensate the payment for Tidal.

CEntranceDoes this mean that HD can drive a Beyerdynamic T1 better than the Slim?
dominiquejamesYou may have better results with the HD if you prefer to listen at high levels. Otherwise, Slim should be enough to drive T1s.
