iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
Hi, IMVHO, while strict compliance with the standard may be very important for a "sender" application/device which should not send "illegal" data (foo_asio_proxy, HQPlayer, etc )), I think it shouldn't be so important for a "receiver" such as as device driver as long as it means going beyond...- JavierS

In Windows, OSX or Linux? In Windows+HQPlayer I get those only if I select DoP under "SDM Pack" and then, of course, DSD512 is not available.- JavierS

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
The proxy`s trace file would point to option b. TBH I believe there is a problem in the way foo_dsd_queries the iDSD. If I'm right it asks for native DSD supported rates independently of the output mode selected and when source PCM is 48/96/192 it gets a negative and passes through...- JavierS

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
DSD64 can be either 44.1K (44,100 x 64= 2,822,400 Hz) or 48K based (48000 x 64 = 3,072,000 Hz). There no 48K files available AFAIK but it is possible to covert 48/96/192KHz PCM files realtime to DSD6/128/256/512 using Foobar or HQPlayer.- JavierS

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
I think you are misunderstanding my posts. At no point I said the iDSD converts PCM to DSD, though it actually does to a point convert to SDM as DSD1793 is not a full R2R chip nut rather a hybrid. I use either Foobar or HQPlayer for converting PCM->DSD. I was just asking whether there is a...- JavierS

I also have an Amanero USB adapter and it doesn't have this problem.It converts 44.1k and 48k equally fine. I don't think this is a problem with foo_dsd_asio with the exception of not checking max supported PCM rates when selecting DoP instead of ASIO. I've alreay emailed Maxim about this.- JavierS

iFi iDSD Micro DSD512 / PCM768 DAC and Headphone Amp. Impressions, Reviews and Comments.
I was trying to upsample to DSD in Foobar using SACD plugin and foo_dsd_asio proxy and found that all 48K based sample rate files (48K, 96K & 192K) were being output untouched to mi iDSD micro (LED was either green or yellow colour). After some searching I came across a pdf file in iFi's site...- JavierS

Audio-GD NFB-1.32
According to the ESS9018 data sheet (http://www.esstech.com/PDF/SABRE32%20Reference%20PB%20Rev%200.61%20120726.pdf) it accepts up to 1.536MHz in oversampling bypass mode and if you look at note 1) it says the maximum sampling rate using internal oversampling filters 500KHz.- JavierS

Upgrade for X-Fi Titanium HD?
The ST and STX use TI BB's PCM1792A (not 1793) which should have the same performance as the PCM1794 according to specs. Quote:- JavierS

The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread
What firmware update??? I don't think the ST or the STX are firmware updatable. Many sound cards and USB DACs have a single clock and synthesize both frequency families (44.1 & 48) from it. Funnily I have a problem with ASIO and 88.2 & 176.4KHz files, if I play any cuh material first...- JavierS

The Xonar Essence STX Q/A, tweaking, impressions thread
MusicBee outputs both 88.2 and 176.4 through WASAPI (configured not to resample) to a D2X using Unixonar 1.51. On the Same computer Foobar gives an error playing the same thorugh WASAPI 2.1 plugin. I tried on a friend's PC J River MC 17 with an Asus ST and both WASAPI and WASAPI Event Style...- JavierS

Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)
Quote: The question was precisely if those drivers work as asked, I know you need UAC2 drivers for Windows to support >96KHz but there are some others devices based on the same CM6631 C-Media chip stating no 176.4KHz support but I'm not sure if that is only through SPDIF or if affects...- JavierS

I think you'll like it and if you don't most probably you'll be able to sell it at a very little loss. As you are going to be the first one here to have a 03 it'll be nice if you could write a lttle review. Cheers- JavierS
