Hello all,
I was in Beijing last week and got an ap200 from a local dealer. I just started using it yesterday and I am enjoying it; however, I have some questions (firmware 0.2.2 - latest I believe):
1) I am able to use it as an external dac: Laptop (foobar and TUSB audio driver) > usb type-c > ap200 > 2.5mm to 2.5mm stereo cable > O2 amp > beyer dt880
What should be the settings in foobar (I installed DSDIFF Decoder, Super Audio CD Decoder, ASIO2 and WASAP2 components and the working one is the "ASIO2: TUSBAudio Driver" in the output tab)? I attached a photo, should I select DSD + PCM? How about the bit rate? I played it little bit, some settings didn't play well and I found the best as attached.
2) In tidal desktop application, for Master files I select AP200 and in the settings "use exclusive mode" and "passthrough MQA" however I can only get 24 bits / 48 KHz - are there additional settings or tidal is streaming 24/48 only?
3) Is there anything that can be done to increase the wi-fi connectivity range? Drop outs are bad!
I am still in the infant stage and thanks for your help.
Best.
