    From what I know, they are both quality products.
    The M4 has a bit more power output (30w).
    I have a DSATX and am very hapy with it.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?



    Under normal circumstances, a signature would go here.

    voted for DSATX, even though I've never played with a M4, I like my DSATX very much. Only thing I wish I had bought the brainstem for the DSATX when I bought the DSATX. The tiny pots are a little difficult to get the time and voltage settings set perfectly. Such is life, but I still love it...

    Until now Im using M2-ATX.
    First work good with first carpc
    Second with new carpc doesn't work ok, so Im decide to change it for something better...
    First Im looking for M4-ATX then Im see DSATX which I can connect to USB/SERIAL and analyse rails and acc voltage, but Im read that few guys have overheating problems...
    So I don't know which is better choise...

    One question. Is possible on DSATX disable hard off time? Default is set to 1200, but I need this function disabled... Is this possible?

    Yes this is possible.

    There is a setting for that that you can program over the brainstem.
