Evo vs INT202 -- any news?
Posted by: AMA on 05 December 2010
Did anyone have a chance to compare Evo against INT202 -- both through nDAC?

Haven't heard the EVO but we've discovered that some firewire chip sets are better than others. TI seems better so far. Is this also true of USB? Where does it end unless by choice or blinders and how much does a DIY computer user need to consider?

js, I have no access to any of these products to demo. I have to rely on others comments. I do have a good reference at home: USB input on nDAC, HiFace and Logitech Transporter. If I got INT202 or Evo in my hands I would post on the tests.
Evo is substantially cheaper than INT202 and uses more common USB interface. Can it rival INT202 in sonic performance -- is still questionable.

Evo is a significant improvement on Hiface. You need to use it with the rechargeable lithium battery. A cheap 9v linear supply really spoiled the quality of the sound (I have a Paul Hynes supply on order)

Doctor -- where can I get a battery pack for Evo?
