So, does on the fly works for you?

Have not tried it as I don’t have HQPlayer purchased

Try doing it on the fly with Jriver. Use PCM source say 44.1K/16 bit. Output format 8xDSD. Bitsstreaming audio set to custom and tick DSD. Set buffer time to 500msec and BW to 10. Your machine is powerful enough to do this on the fly.

Yep the Lks da004, it due to be delivered on Thursday but we will see. Purchase is from amazon so I'm not concerned about rogue sellers. I noticed from time to time that items prices especially Chinese goods are slashed for a few says then go back up.

Oh! ~ I wasn't aware of that fact!

 

[Paul Staples]

Really? I did have a quick look in amazon.co.uk. Didn't see anything under £1000, not even da003.

me too!

 

[Paul Staples]

See attached, description shows new used then explains item was used in a demo then boxed back up. Selling my schiit bitfrost on ebay for around £200 so not much cash spent on this dac

well done! i.e. just pay the difference!

 

[Paul Staples]

Has anyone been successfully configure lks004 to run D512 Natively yet ? If so, what program and how did you configure it ? I can’t run Jriver Natively D512 output toward lks004

LOL! ~ mate, I don't even understand the question: "D512?"

 

[Paul Staples]

That is on the fly right ? Not sure how that works, but a real D512 stored file cant be played through Jriver or foobar and I dont khow why

ME TOO?

Never mind, I got the Jriver to do this on the fly D512, Christ! What a pain. Time to observe the performances.

Gotta use Combo384 ASIO 1.03(ASIO) for device driver
Buffering 500ms
DSD over PCM or DOP
Output encoding to 8XDSD in Native format
Using prebuffering to 20 seconds
And I am sitting at BW08 woaaa, surprisingly for D512, so Amanero isn’t that bad if the PC is powerful enough with the right configuration

What is your guys BW when Upsampling to D512 on the fly guys ?

Sorry mate! Only PCM here. Don't get all this DSD512 stuff? Don't have any DSD recordings either. Know doubt someone else will help you out shortly.

What I am doing is essentially Upconverting PCM to D512 on the fly toward LKS004.

how it sounds at 512?

I gotta say that the best possibility to get full lks004 capability is the D512 and eventhough I am upconverting offline or on the fly, it always sound so much better, and I dont mean just little thing here and there. The whole spectrum sees an improvement. Most noticeably with much darker back ground and higher treble resolution, higher treble density

You know you may be up for spending even more money. An audiophile usb pcie card may be an OCXO one and a really good usb cable like the black magic one. It's never ending. You should feed the Pink Faun to your ladder dac.
