Sorry man, I will have to blame it on the beer. I hope you get it resolved but I have a Mojo and can double check in a week or so. I'm away for the hols right now.

Thanks, that would be great.

I contacted Chord, but I'm still talking to them.

LE: Chord told me the light is white, even though it's actually purple. The purple, they claim, is light leakage from the other LED's, even though the other LED's in those two pictures are orange.



LE2:
In the chart below after blue there are supposed to be three shades of purple, after which white follows.



From the manual:

The + and – volume balls are illuminated to indicate the volume setting. The standard range is from brown to white for maximum volume.
At maximum volume the – ball will remain on white whilst the + ball will change through the colours from red to white at maximum volume. This gives a finer adjustment at very high volume.

This is what volume close to 100% looks like while playing DSD.



As it's described above, close to 100% volume the - ball stays "white" while the + ball changes color from brown to white.
The ON/OFF ball in the picture is taken while playing DSD and is supposed to be "white" .

The - ball (at close to 100% volume) matches color with the ON/OFF ball while playing DSD.
I guess this is what "white" looks like on the Mojo.


100% volume:

Bad post.

I am able to play some dsf music using Foobar.
It's not a Vinylstudio problem. I have some dsf Files ripped from SACD that I cannot play in Windows 10 nor with Ubuntu using jriver mediacenter 25. Thanks to Synology DSM, I al able to play them with foobar from the Diskstation NAS. Thanks you for the support

 

[alexdemaet]

As I say, to the best of my knowledge, we generate both file types correctly, but DSF files have a variable block size (I think we use 4k, from memory)

I have lost track of what @hifinoob005 was asking. But I was able to play a couple of SACD rips over my Mojo and the on/off ball is kinda off-white tending towards pink, not white as I would expect. As much as the colorful balls are kinda cool and remind me of a Superman episode from the 1960s or 70s, the interface gets old fast.

And BTW I am using the line out volume setting where both of the volume balls are blue because I'm driving a mini stereo stack with the Mojo, not using headphones.. This helps show that the on/off ball is more whitish but maybe because of the blue light from the other two balls it appears pink.

Give me an LED display any day over this nonsense...

I've solved the problem , it's in the post above.

Why does foobar2000 have an ASIOhost process in the taskbar of Windows, while JRiver Media Center doesn't?

 

[gimmeheadroom]

It does not necessarily have it. Are you using ASIO4ALL or some ASIO proxy or plugin?

I'm using Chord ASIO 1.5.

Both programs support the codec and play through it fine.

But why does only foobar reveal the ASIOhost32 in the taskbar, and the JRiver doesn't?

 

[gimmeheadroom]

1.5 or 1.05? I have the 1.05 driver and I can play MQA from Tidal or anything from foobar (playing an SACD ISO rip right now) and there is nothing in the taskbar except the USB icon for removable devices. Win 10 Pro with latest updates.

I have another box far far away where I do remember seeing the Chord device driver does have some kind of icon in the taskbar now that I think about it. Also Win 10 Pro with latest updates. On that box it was always there and on this one it never is. I have no idea.

I have the Chord 1.05 ASIA

When you go to "details" on your taskbar-tab, can you see "ASIOhost32" in there?

I don't know what a taskbar tab is. Can you explain?

 

[dakanao]

I'm sorry, I meant the taskmanager (ctrl + alt + del). There's a a tab there at the end that says ''details''

With foobar, there's always ASIOhost there when I use the native ASIO of my DAC.

However, on Jriver, when I use the same ASIO service, the ASIOHost in not in the taskmanager details tab.

 

[gimmeheadroom]

I have ASIOhost64.exe running when foobar2000 is playing.

Yes me too, and when you have Jriver Media Player running?
