Hi,
with my Tiny MPD (Linux) I have same trouble's using this device.....

If i playing file's 44.1k 16bit and next file in playlist 44.1k 24bit -> noise/silent, and on display Gustard U12 i see "----" converter is not working, I need restart Gustard (on/off power cable).
If i playing this files not together->working O.K.
 
This bug's I have in next samplerate:
44.1k 16bit - next file in playlist 44.1k 24bit

48k 16bit - next file in playlist 48k 24bit

96k 16bit - next file in playlist 96k 24bit

 
download this testing file's:

in other cases everything works!

Hi,
 
Just 2 quick questions I did not see fully addressed in the thread so far:
 
1) Is it possible to use the AES/EBU balanced output and SPDIF RCA simultaneously?
2) Is anyone using this DCC with Jplay, KS, with Ultrastream engine?
 
Thanks

I had the Gustard connected to my Yulong D18 with both AES and COAX.  A rocker switch on the D18 switched from one to the other making a short tick sound in the music playback.  Given that experience I would assume that all Gustard outputs are working at all times.  It's always a luxury in audio to be able to compare stuff without shutting stuff down and swapping cables.

I bought the DI, but I'll be watching this thread for an unlikely comparison of the two

Sorry don't run Linux - so I'm no help.  Try a message to the seller

I have not reinstalled Jplay after uninstalling it, for the Thesycon installation.  I'm torn on JPlay - it's such a pain-in the a**, as it shuts down all extraneous processes.  Which means it can lock up at times of freeze your machine.  I did finally have it working with the Musiland drivers reliably.  The sound I'm getting right now is so good - I'm not feeling the need to mess with it - other then the failed experiment with the Chord Silver+ cable.  So far the Gustard works flawlessly.
 
The only issue - after a power outage - on reboot - I had to unplug and replug the USB cable on the U12 for windows to recognize it.  I believe this has to do with the protection relay built into the U12 to prevent damage on accidental USB or SPDIF cable unplug,

Got it - nice unit

Well I ended up grabbing one of these. Tracking seems to not be loading, so I don't know when it'll get here, but eager to compare to an older Audio-GD interface TE7022 chip.

Hi Wynnytsky and rb2013 - many thanks for the U12 comments, much appreciated...
seems that more of the Audio-GD DI2014 is being delivered, I hope those folks will post their comments about the SQ and driver stability also..
 
Thanks again and best regards..

Nice!  Well maybe we can get a comparison at least with the older Audio-GD.
 
Please post your comments when you get it.

Forgot to ask - did you get the upgraded TCXO clock?

Forgot to ask - did you get the upgraded TCXO clock?

I did, along with the HDMI output, and a HDMI kit to install one on my NFB7 too.
I mainly want to see what difference it makes compared to using regular USB input
