Ordered one just recently, Pairing it with a Pendant and ZMF Verite Opens / HD800S... pretty excited! it will be my first DAC that'll be in the 1.5K$+ range (coming from a Topping D50)
I have the same issue, if you hear back from Vinshine Audio please share.Hi
I have set up my new Pontus Dac, but I have a issue when playing DSD/DSF files. The DSD LED never comes on
Thanks, that's good for Windows PCs.... any idea what can be done with a Mac that does not use drivers?Hey guys,
These are the screenshot of setting up the Jriver to play DSD with DENAFRIPS DAC (Windows, Thesycon Driver)
Thanks for your help.Most welcome.
For Mac, we have a guide for roon: https://www.denafrips.com/mac-os
The key point is to set the software to use the USB DAC in 'Exclusive Mode'. I have not tried Jriver on Mac, perhaps i should
Thanks for your help.
One last question.... I am using the optical input for the Pontus - I find it better than the USB - would the DSD work with Optical?
Optical input of DENAFRIPS DAC supports DoP DSD64.
Are you using a computer or a dedicated streamer as the source?
If it's a computer, you may consider Iris DDC for betterment of music reproduction.
There is problem with I2S DSD compatibility. DSD is played on separate pairs of HDMI cable and there are different standards, even to the electrical voltage logic levels. In Audio GD DI-20 it says PS audio compatible, but there are two different options for DSD in this mode. Is there any settings on both sides regarding synchronous vs asynchronous mode? Synchronous require word clock signal to be present.Hi
I am trying to get a Singxer SU-1 and the Pontus working together over i2s, I have set up both to PS Audio's HDMI pin outs. Both detect and display PCM, DSD correctly and PCM seems to be playing as it should but what ever I do DSD sounds totally wrong, out of phase, no focus, etc. When I stop playing a DSD file I get a not very nice noise coming out until I play a PCM file again. I have checked correct firmware, dip switches on the Singxer and config of i2s on the Pontus as best I can, but some information is a bit vague.
I know that there may be no benefit to using a DDC on the Pontus due to the quality the USB input and that it is going to a i2s conversion anyway, but wanted to give it a try.
Anyone got these two working together correctly.
Cheers
