I have also problems with DSD, meaning I can hear the music, but the DSD light on the Geek is not turned on. It shows me only 88.2k when playing DSD64 (2822400 Hz)
When playing DSD128 (5644800 Hz) I hear nothing, but its playing, and the DSD light is still not on.
 
Foobar Output -  Asio: Light Harmonic ASIO
 
Installed components:
 
DSDIFF Decoder foo_input_dsdiff
ASIO Support: foo_out_asio
Super Audio CD Decoder: foo_input_sacd
 
Settings in Tools-SACD:
 
Asio driver mode: it was PCM before, now changed to DSD and restarted the foobar, same problem
PCM Volume: +0db
PCM Samplerate: 352800
DSD2PCMMode: Multistage (Fixed Point)
 
 
Any idea?
 
 
Thanks

not trying to incite any pc/mac war, but geez, getting high-res stuff to play on windows seems like a PITA...

Do all hi-Rez setups have problems with Windows, or is it particular to the Geek's drivers?

i think drivers in general are problematic...i know other companies that have had issues with drivers for their audio devices.
 
i'm a mac user and have no idea what any of those acronyms for windows mean, anyway.

No... My experience Its Windows...

After running into the same problem, I uninstalled the DSDIFF component (it actually transcodes to PCM) and let the SACD component do the work (set up using the pdf guide Michael linked). No problem anymore, DSD is played as DSD (ie blue light on on your GO).

Curiosity:  Does DSD work out of the box in Macs too?

Foobar2000 on Window is free, even with plugins. All of my DSD/DXD played fine.
With the only exceptions to change tracks from DSD get an error first time.
 
Audirvana+ from 74$, JRMC19 ~50$
(+ DSD plugins?)
 
On Mac everything should work out of the box or with few clicks, but have to pay. And you don't need to know about the background...

Speaking of DSD, does anyone have any albums to recommend? I have a free 2L album code from Light Harmonic and I'm not sure what to use it on. I was planning to use it to get a stereo DSD128 album since 1) I don't have any DSD albums, and 2) I might as well use it on a higher resolution format since the Geek products can play it, and 3) at $38 an album, that's insanely expensive for me to purchase normally. It wouldn't make much sense to get the multi-channel DSD64 format, would it?

I'm contemplating between Ola Gjeilo's "Piano Improvisation" album since it's Ola Gjeilo and I like his works, but I also like Schola Solensis' "Psallat Ecclesia: Sequences From Medieval Norway" album because I enjoy choral works too.

Decisions, decisions...

Bought their 2L - The Nordic Sound - Audiophile Reference Recording album in DSD128.
It contains 19 reference recordings.

It costs 33EUR. After applying the Free 2L Album Code...It then comes FREE.
 
Remember its a 6GB download.
