M2Tech Young
What you have is a first-rate digital-to-analog converter with many unique features conceived to obtain the best audio performance out of a music file. Even if getting music out of a PC or a Mac is nowadays quite simple, much harder is to obtain the best sonic performance from it, due to intrinsic limits in USB 1.1 audio standard
and the implementation of digital audio interfaces in computers. Please visit M2Tech website (www.m2tech.biz) to find extensive literature about this topic. YOUNG overcomes all the limits of usual USB digital-to-analog converters by implementing the latest generation hiFace technology, which uses proprietary drivers and asynchronous data transfer, along with a sophisticated electronic design. YOUNG features a comprehensive set of input connections which suit virtually all digital sources around. We feel that your expectations will be fulfilled by YOUNG: you’ll hear your CD’s, DVD’s and music files in a way like never before, prepare for a whole new experience!

M2Tech Palmer
High capacity, high surge current Li-Po battery, dedicated fast charge battery charger optimized for battery duration, very low noise 15V post-regulator, auxiliary pre-regulator to ensure continuous operation during battery charge, universal voltage input.

Features
Palmer Power Station is a high performance power supply for Young and other 15V-operated equipment. With 1A peak current delivery, Palmer allows for great flexibility. The supply is based on a high quality, high capacity, high surge current Li-Po battery, capable of more than 4 hours operation @ 1A load. The battery is charged via a dedicated battery charger which is optimized to give fast charge while providing the longest battery life. A very low noise, low dropout post-regulator further reduces the already low battery noise and sets the output voltage to 15V. To ensure continuous operation while the battery is charging, a pre-regulator feeds the post regulator during charge. Output can be disabled when not necessary to avoid depleting the battery uselessly, while charge can be disabled when desired, to obtain the best performance during the listening session. An universal AC input and two outputs allow for great flexibility. Palmer Power Station may be used to supply any 15V equipment with less than 1A current draw. 500 charge cycles min. and 4400mAh capacity allow for around 9000 hours battery operation when supplying a Young 384/32 DAC, that is more than 12 years operation when listening to the Young 2 hours every day before the battery needs replacement.
