Product details
HiFace Evo takes music data stored on a PC via USB, converts it to an SPDIF signal, which is the standard digital format for audio equipment, and outputs it.
Supported formats include 16Bit/44.1kHz, which is the CD format, 24Bit/96kHz, which is even higher quality, and 24Bit/192kHz, which is even higher.
In addition, like hiFace, the main factor that enables high-quality sound playback is the provision of a unique driver that avoids the deterioration of sound quality caused by the OS’s standard mixer.
Not only DACs without SB inputs and headphone amplifiers with built-in DACs, but also products with USB inputs can be connected via hiFace Evo to support 24Bit/96kHz and 24Bit/192kHz and avoid the OS’s standard mixer, improving sound quality. (The DAC used must support each format.)
hiFace only had SPDIF output with RCA or BNC terminals, but hiFace Evo has both RCA and BNC terminals.
In addition, it supports a variety of outputs, including square optical terminals (TOS Link), AES/EBU, ST Link, and I2S.
Many people also use hiFace with high-end equipment and in recording environments, and upon request from users, we can support external clocks, which are essential in those environments, to further improve sound quality and stability.
Introducing hiFace Evo, a further development and maturation of hiFace, which proposed adding a PC to an audio set and was accepted worldwide with acclaim.

Evo Clock Precision clock generator DETAILS Word clock and master clock generation; lowest phase-noise, high precision, custom made temperature-compensated oscillators; dedicated matched line master clock output for hiFace Evo; matched line option for word clock output; word clock frequency up to 384kHz, plus 5.6448/6.144MHz and 11.2896/12.288MHz “super clock”; ultra-low noise regulators. FEATURES Evo Clock is a cost-effective, high-performance clock generator based on extremely low phase noise, high precision TCXO’s, custom made for M2Tech. Two outputs are available: one master clock dedicated to hiFace Evo, capable of 22.5792MHz or 24.576MHz (depending on settings) and delivering 3.3Vpp on 75 Ohms matched line, and a general purpose word clock output with selectable output frequency up to 384kHz, with the option for “super clocks” 128x and 256x. The latter has a line matching option and can deliver 3.3Vpp on both high impedance and 75 Ohms loads. Ultra-low noise regulators allow for a very clean supply for both oscillators and the conditioning logic, leading to fully exploiting the oscillators performance.
