iFi Audio Nano iDSD discussion + impression

i use foobar200 with wasapi in event mode, and no i have no 384khz, the most is only cd quality. So it´s nothing dramatical at the moment.
but i wan´t to know whats wrong.
when i start pc the ifi software show 384khz but can´t set it in windows, thers only the option for 32Bit 192Khz.


Probably all Windows can manage. Irrelevant anyway.

I would recommend installing foo_out_asio and using that instead of WASAPI.

Today my Nano arrived.
It sounds great, and has enough power do drive my fidelio x2 well. it´s my first DAC/Amp and i really like it! :D

But i have a little problem,
I installed the driver, set audio out to it, but i can´t select 384khz?
I Installed the latest Driver 2.23 and i use windows 8.1.
Annyone had the same Problem and know how to solve it?


Hi

The setting in Windows is for "shared audio session", where other audio (e.g. System sounds) is mixed with the main stream. Windows itself limits this to 192kHz (probably the list build into the dialog), regardless of the devices's audio capabilities.

Cheers.

(Update: Dac suddenly stops processing the sound when another application is simultaneously used like youtube on web browser and mediamonkey. Need to turn volume knob off and on for the sound to be again processed through the DAC)

 
Can any nano idsd owner confirm that the above is true.
 
I'm looking to getting one for desktop use but can't be done with having to turn it off like above guy says.

It is true if you have MediaMonkey's output set to either ASIO or WASAPI, which in turn tells MediaMonkey to be the only software that can use iDSD as long as it is still active. So when you run a second software that needs to use iDSD, they begin to fight over which get to use it, then one of them (usually the second one) tends to crash.
 
The easy fix are (1) don't use ASIO / WASAPI at any software if you need to use more than one at the same time, or (2) Only use one software at a time.

One of the updates for JRiver Media Center 20 was to allow other programs to be piped into JRiver so it could be used as DSP processor for other programs.... not sure if it will work that way with mediamonkey...   but you might try it...

So I got the nano and it works but I'm getting the odd crackle plying back music via PC usb, it's annoying. Any help with this? thanks.


What operating system?

What music player?

What driver?

  Windows 8.1
 
musicbee but it happens with all media players I have tried.
 
Latest driver from iFi


 Does it happens all the time (as soon as the nano is plugged in) or only happens after idling for awhile
