This thread has been quiet for a bit so I thought I'd ask if anyone with an E1, and that also uses JRiver, has noticed an improvement using the newer driver that was posted back in March? It is version 7.0.11.10. ASUS just says it fixes several bugs with JRiver Media Center. I hadn't noticed any issues with the older 7.0.11.05. Anyone else?

The same as you.

Hello! My Essence One puts  out 3 quite loud thump through the headphones when I switch it one and it cycles through the inputs. Anyone else experiencing this? Is this normal`?

My source is PC - Foobar - E1.

Look at my settings:

 

 


During playback via Toslink bitrate LED follows playing file bitrate, but Bit Perfect LED is not engaged.

It is not normal, sounds like there is still some DC voltage at the output even after startup.

You can use asio4all or wasapi foobar plugin with the toslink output, in that case you will have bitperfect mode. The bitperfect led however will not light up since it is not a true indicator of bitperfect mode, it lights up when you use the asus asio driver.

Thanks. I assumed as much and did not remember that it did that before. I think one of the caps might be bad. It is silent when you switch it on after a while, but when you switch it off and on again it makes the 3x thump, which seem to indicated that there is some DC voltage at the amp. Probably better to have it checked under warranty.

Does XLR and RCA works at the same time on Essence One Plus (Muses)?

I connect monitors to XLR and subwoofer to RCA on my current preamp.

Hi guys,
I got a question.. it was probably answered before, but would appreciate if anyone can help.
 
I was trying to upgrade my Asus essence one (non muses version) headphone buffer opamp.
I bought 4x OPA627AP and got them fixed onto the dual to single DIP8 adapter.
I inserted them into the headphone buffer, but it didnt work.. basically it's just dead silent.
 
May I know what's the problem? or I should not use OPA627AP as the headphone in the first place.
 
Thanks a lot in advance.

Are they dual channel opamps? I not too sure if they are

If everything is soldered as should be, there is no barrier to use it.
I use 2x2 OPA627AU as DAC filter after 4x2 LT 1028 in I/V with excellent sonic result.
