XMOS XU208 USB BRIDGES - THE LATEST GEN HAS ARRIVED!

Likewise here, which is why I never tested it out once I had it set up.
 
I sent mail to my rep at Sweetwater, asking if he knows or can ask one of his techs what (if anything) can be done to get the RN3 or D16 to switch sample rates without manual intervention. There may not be a way, but there could also be something we're missing.


Thanks for doing that.
 
I think the only solution for now is the re-sampling path I mentioned the free and easiest (and for me the best SQ - better then running native 44k that's for sure).

The other may be to do away with DVS and use a DANTE BK2 PCIe card.  But that's another $600.  This will certainly lower the already min latency and may improve the SQ.  It should follow the PC as it changes SR.

Thanks, you too! And money is just money (as long as it comes out of the "disposable part" of an income of course and not the part you need to feed your children with :wink:). I think you must have spent a lot in trying all these USB gizmo's and other 'USB uber chain' things too. I may end up with some Ravenna/Dante device in the future as well. And the PH PSU (which cost less than a thousand since I got a great deal on it :wink:) may then still power some other component(s) in my system and if not I'll simply sell it again, simple! :)

 
I didn't even notice it's your first day here. Welcome!

I totally agree 100% with @rb2013 and  @mhamel regarding the SR rate change as a non-issue.
Me being a true music lover, SQ comes first!
Changing sample rates is just a couple of mouse clicks.

Funny SoX does that!  Power of 2 and power of 4.

I bet they could update that - as an option.  For direct connections.

You can set upsampling on each of the channels in the Rednet.

If you set it to 4 times, it will automatically upsample 4x, 2x or none at all. This way it will upsample to the maximum supported sample rate and within each family of rates.

Cheers

+1 Love your signature!
 
Let me know if you see any well priced Mutec 3+ out there

 
Thanks!
 
I am actually tempted at this point to add another Mutec 3+ to daisy chain to the 1 I already have since reading in the CA thread regarding audiophiles experiencing SQ jumps with each addition.
Some are even daisy chaining upto 4 Mutec's which is crazy. Well if I do and don't hear any improvement, I guess I can return it and just take the loss on the 15% restocking fee.
Still thinking about it, but if I go ahead with it, I'll really be eating ramen for the rest of the year. lol
 
Cheers!

While I am waiting for the parts for a proper enclosure to arrive I made a super cheap dust cover out of a Ziploc container. It works well as F1 board fits in the container almost perfectly.
 

 

 

 
So there's my contribution to this thread.

So here is the screen shot of the REDNET Controller:
 
As you can see there is no Master option for the PC (DVS) - marked 'Slave Only'  under preferred

 
Now I bet with one of these Dante cards you would be able to set the PC as Master - $600 :

REDNET/Dante PCIe cards - they are more expensive:

I also found this tweek - set the bit rate 'Encoding' for the PC to 32 bits from 24 bits.  The DVS options should be set to 32 bits as well
A bit nicer sounding:

This was my thought as well but I would have to speak to someone in Rednet support to know for sure.  The Rednet PCI card manual says nothing about setting the PC as the master.
