Native DSD works fine with Roon and JRiver on the M scaler - the native DSD uses Dave code. You must set the SR OP setting to white on the Hugo M scaler, otherwise it will be silent as an OP, as native can't be TX as an SPDIF directly.
I am afraid I still have issues with DSD file playback in Roon. If a PCM file is played back and I change to a DSD track the following ALWAYS happens:
1. The DX OP button lights up red.
2. The sample rate display on the Dave flickers for 4-5 seconds.
3. The DX OP light turns off completely.
4. No sound even though Roon seems to play.
The same happens if a DSD track is started without prior playback.
I can get sound from the DSD file if I switch back and forth between two different files, either between a PCM and DSD or between two DSD tracks. In the latter case it must be between DSD files of different sample rates, e.g. DSD64 and DSD128. Otherwise no sound will come out no mater how many times switching back and forth is carried out. It is my feeling that it takes longer to get any sound if the switching back and forth is carried out between two DSD tracks. It takes from 2-10 times switching back and forth until there is sound on the DSD track.
Sound is there immediately with any PCM and DXD files no matter the sample rate.
The is not difference whether I use coax 1-2 og 3-4.
There is no DSD sound whatsoever with a JCAT USB isolator or a AQ Jitterbug in the chain before the M Scaler. The Dave without M Scaler works fine with DSD, even with JCAT in the chain.
My source is a Macbook Pro 2015 with Roon running on Windows 10. USB cables are either stock cable or a QED Reference USB.
Is anybody having similar problems?
