Hi All,
I would like to thank all that contributed to this thread, it give me some inside into this box before I bought it. The contribution to Chinglisch=>English translation is greatly appreciated.
I bought the the X6-1500GT from carving-cnc (now it is called Omiocnc) some 3 years ago, similar to this
https://www.omiocnc.com/products/x6-2200l-usb.html but 1.5kW spindle. The machine is well made mechanically for hobby work more than enough. The controller box is ok apart from the usb card / Windows + Mach3. It started to skip steps, the motors would stall, looks like noise or breaks in communication somewhere... I never find out what was the cause, after I got windows update reset the pc in the middle of the job I had enough.
I pull the trigger and got DDCSV1.1. Old Dell PC provided the case, rest I butchered from old CNC controller box.
Here are the pics of the old controller

https://goo.gl/photos/qcFnpDHyAJk3gcRn7So far so good. I think everything is working. I am missing the ATC function from mach 3 with 2 sensor plates setup, one fixed and one mobile. I have yet to figureout the following:
1) Probe mode 1 operation and the tools offset, how to use it. Currently I am using Mode 2 which behaves as I expect, it resets Z to 0 using the mobile probe.
2) My Home (x=0,y=0 machine coord) point is on the left and back of the table. Y axes home switch was convenient to put at the back. In Mach3 I could setup coordinates to Home other than 0 but I do not thin I can do it with DDCSV. As a result The machine travels to Home once at the beginning of the job and twice at the end... It may be the Post-processor I am using. (Aspire, with Fanuc post.)
I cut simple holder for ER16 collets, pics are at the end of the new CNC box album.
