  1. Hi, I have a Dell XPS 420 (Vista Home Premium & Media Monkey) & a PS Audio Digital Link III. The DAC has only USB, Coaxial, and Optical digital inputs. The Dell has USB and Optical outputs (no coaxial). The DAC supports 192/24, but I'm having a hard time deciphering how best to get 192/24 data from the Dell to the DAC. Can USB transfer 192/24? Can Optical? I'd appreciate any explanation/clarification! Thanks, in advance. Michael
  2. It may not be HRx. Are you connecting to your DAC via USB? I was having the same problem as you until I: 1) used a higher speed USB cable (monster makes a pretty cheap one) and then 2) installed a PCIe USB card (Sonnet Allegro Exrpess USB 2.0) I have almost no dropout now. Michael
  3. I'm not quite ready to spend $5,000 on the Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC--although I'd love to! I've read your comments and the reviews of many others who think it's an incredible piece of hardware. I'll probably have to contact Native Instruments, maker of the Audio Kontrol 1 that I'm using, to find out if there's a software solution to monitoring the bit rate/kHz that's input into the unit and what it's doing with the information. Are there any less expensive DACs (under $500) that you know of that work/display well for the price range? Thanks, again. Michael
  4. This is a fantastic site! So much great information! I've loved high resolution audio for years: especially SACD (& have it in my car too). Now, I'm addicted to making higher resolution audio from my computer in my home system. My question: I have various files (most from Reference Recordings) that are anywhere from CD (44.1/16 bit), FLAC (96 kHz/24 bit), to HRx (176.4 kHz/24 bit) that I'm playing with Media Monkey and the waveOut (out_wave.dll) plug-in. On the PC, how do I know that the DAC is converting the file properly--so that I'm actually hearing the full HIGH resolution? My equipment: - Dell XPS 410 (Windows Vista Home Premium) - Native Instrument Audio Kontrol 1 (24 bit/ 192 kHz) USB DAC - Outlaw 990 Preamp/processor - Classe CA-4100 amp - Magenpan 20.1 speakers Hope this question is not too basic. Thanks, in advance. Michael
