I'm quite sure it need a new driver.
They are a bit slow/lazy in this department For Conductor Air they put a driver months later after starting selling it. Luckily the same driver worked fot Play.
But this one use a different XMOS chip and firmware.

you got the basic one?

Yup, I got the basic one.

That's what I'm thinking too. I already emailed burson about it. I will post once I hear back. By the way, I'm currently using their XMOS Win 10 driver issued on 2017.

Too soon to tell on the sound quality, but one thing Swing bothers me is that I cannot play DSD 512. [...].

Khadas drivers could help, so install TSaudio driversv2.24 if you can find them and see if this works for you to play DSD512 files, although I see no reason to use these huge files over the DSD128 format that sounds absolutely fabulous (couldn't actually find any DSD512 source, unless manually upsampled, like: http://wechdomi.org/english/index.html).

Do you work with Burson? First, I could not find that driver. If you have a link, please feel free to send. I'm upsampling through HQPlayer.

No, of course not...not the first one asking.

Hope this works for you: https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware/ToneBoard/Driver/Thesycon-Stereo-USB-Audio-Driver-V224.rar (removing the first one, per virus found).
On my DACs this driver fails for DSD512 and DSD1024, but works perfectly with DSD256 and below, which normal because I only have ES9018S and ES9018K2M DACs at home (these chips are only supporting DSD decoding up to DSD256).

I'm using this evaluation driver for native DSD playback on Swing... and Wow this sounds good!! Incomparably better than the XMOS driver in Burson website.
https://www.xmos.com/developer/support/software/uac2/driver-support

A problem is that this is an evaluation version - and the full licensed version needs to be negotiated by the manufacture/vendor. I hope Burson purchase it and offer to us because its native DSD mode is without a question better than the other XMOS in Burson's website. This is how the DSD should sound alike.

Thanks! I found another XMOS evaluation driver for native DSD playback, but I will play with that as well.

Actually, my computer says that file has a virus!! So, perhaps you will want to move it too?

It's a known issue that XMOS drivers are sometimes false positive.
I had same issue when installing the last driver for Topping D10. Bitdefender didn't allowed me to install and same Windows Defender. I had to put it as a exception and report it to Bitdefender.
2 weeks ago I've reinstalled windows and the driver. No more false positive. Bitdefender knew it as legit.

That's probably because XMOS drivers are made personalised upon manufacturers requests. There are many variations for same file version.

Now... I wonder if that version - 3033 v2 is based on XMOS one. Because it is, then it's too old. It may not work at all in Windows 10 versions 1709 and later - they requires v4.

Delte that one, pls use this one: https://dl.khadas.com/Firmware/ToneBoard/Driver/Thesycon-Stereo-USB-Audio-Driver-V224.rar.

I removed the first link with the 2.26 driver, sorry..it was in my buffer after a wrong copy-paste (left over from another forum & topic).

That was really a virus, please use ClamAV if you really got infected! Even 7-Zip told me it has additional payload at the end of the file.

However, waiting for you to test the 2.24 version of the driver.

 

[Eiffel]

It's too old.
Will not work if you have Windows 10. It's signed only for XP - > 8.1

I've tried to check it, but it seems the page was reported non safe - I'm blocked by windows to acces it.

The v2.24 works flawless on my Play on Win10 (latest ver., updated today).

So, it looks like you own or maintain that Khada webpage. How's Khada's sound compared to your Play? ALLO has been getting stellar reviews, and I wonder how Khada compares.

I will play with your latest driver - if it passes some testing. Anyway, Thesycon driver below seems rock solid, but it will expire in 60 days.
