I'm using USB in. It works, but if LKS sees fit to release a firmware update I believe they did it for a reason and I should probably update the firmware. Same for the Amanero USB. Often, these releases are not just bug fixes, but new or improved features or improved sound quality.

I'm running a Windows 10 Roon server to a Sonore ultraRendu or to a SOtM 200 ultra trifecta. Both are Linux, I believe.

Thanks for your help!

There is a thread on github on this Just google lks mh-da004 github. The latest version is be2004 from memory, out a few weeks ago. Im on Windows so I havent come across the issue myself. But apparently on some linux music server, there are hissing background noises when playing dsd. If you dont have the problem, its up to you if you want to try that latest version to see if you can hear any diffrences.

Try installing asio4all and see if the coax nebcomes available as well.

ty i fixed it before that. i had to basically unplug all, reconnect, boot pc again and when I selected digital out, it worked... maybe the issue was some kinda windows memory thing

What player software are you using? Are you upsampling real time?

i use HQPlayer to upsample real time

Yes. Similar to me. I can do HQplayer at BW7. Only have a trial license. I kind of expect its better than jriver at BW9, multi threaded and all. But somehow I always gravitate back to jriver. Not to mention If I pull the trigger on HQplayer, I probably have to go Roon as well for the ui.

i have dsd iso files mostly. so i use foobar as the main player. it can do bw06 or 05 at dsd64 with the new usb cable. have to test longer time to confirm.

Sounds like a magic cable . What is it? What was your old cable and what BW you were at before?

 

[ptolemy2k6]

To follow up on my issues. If I use USB then asio works fine (pic with black lines). But coax or optical from my on board audio, only one selected works. Other error as mentioned before. I assume it's normal ?

Lol. Not only is it a magic cable, its a black magic one. How do you come across it. Did you compare it to the iFi usb cables, since you already have few iFi things in your chain. I use the iFi mercury 3.0.

actually i am planning to buy mercury3.0. but a bit hesitating since if i buy, i have to buy 3. and one day when i reading a post in audiogon about total contact. someone mentioned mad scientist audio also producing graphene base contact enhancer. i checked the website and found the black magic. it is good timing since that black magic just released in may. i decided to give it a try as his theory is totally new.
