Ah thanks. I've read somewhere there should be third option, like:

• Green = MQA
• Blue = MQA Studio
• Magenta = Original Sample Rate (MQB)

Obviously that was wrong.

This is correct.

What I meant was you cannot spoof MQA and MQA Studio to be read as MQB.

MQB is not a common file type in comparison.

If I shut my computer down for the night and restart the Zen DAC 2 isn't picked up by Windows until I unplug and plug in the USB cable, is there anything I can do to fix this?

Ah thanks. So I guess that means I will not stumble on MQB on Tidal?

Did you download and install the drivers using the link below?

Give that a shot and see if it helps.

I think it depends on energy saving settings in your bios.

Has anyone upgraded a Windows 10 PC to Windows 11 and experienced any issues with using the Zen DAC v2 after the upgrade?

I ask because my main home PC is telling me my Windows 11 upgrade is ready to install, and if I do it, I want to be ready for potential issues. I could deal with trouble-shooting other minor upgrade issues, but don't mess with my music!

It works with 11 just fine, the only issue I have had is sometimes I have unplug and plug in the usb cable I am sending mine back to Amazon, because I think it's a defect going to get another one.

Other than the USB fun, how are you liking the Zen DAC + CAN stack? How does it compare to the other gear you have in your sig?

Very well, I think the Zen line might be my favorite.

Is there any reason not to use the V5.A0 firmware for the Zen 1 with PC as well as PS4/5? Is any functionality being given up for the PS4/5 support?

 

[iFi audio]

not to use the V5.A0 firmware

There are no issues with it, but once we know what this FW does (and what it doesn't do) we'll update everyone.
