@pollyjingjing , I reported an issue with windows driver the other day, which is sometimes it plays only static noise,
And I had to restart foobar and kill driver daemon to get it to work, any clue about the issue?

i never had this issue at all so far.....maybe you're pc ?!

Thought of that, but other dac are fine all the time.
I will uninstall other drivers, and see if it happens again.

i think DSD is useless

DSD or PCM, it is subjective, many claim converting PCM to DSD512 makes it better.
I couldn't tell the difference though.

We have tested here, didn't find any problem and didn't have the noise, maybe something wrong with your PC. Try to antivirus or download foobar again.

I love my D5 but turning the volume wheel does nothing,

It needs an upgrade tool to upgrade to the new firmware. Where you bought it and I will send you the tool.

Ok, Thanks for following up, it didn't always happen, so far so good in last few days.
I will watch how it happen if it happens again.

The newest is 1.4, or there is newer?
And the upgrade tool is a software?

That is not software, it is a repair tool, if you have the volume knob problem need to update. If not doesn't need.

I am interested in buying a D5 from Amazon.fr, but is the firmware on these units V1.2 or V1.4.
