  1. Dear Adam, Perhaps this has been highlighted in the thread. The new USB drivers are not compatible with the older v1.7.1 firmware, perhaps you ought to highlight this to the users for potential repercussions at your support channel. The next topic is about the new beta firmware v1.7.5b1. The firmware somehow altered the intensity of the Mytek's front display. Even at the lowest setting of '1', it is still brighter than before. Another issue is that this change introduce very faint flickering of the display at setting '1' - it seems like the display is struggling to get enough power to operate smoothly. Furthermore, if the auto-off function is enabled, the display will react weirdly the moment before it switches off. i.e. display switches to highest light intensity before switching off. I can't help but notice as well that the internal sampling rate switching has also increased in transition time. For DSD material, it takes more switches between PCM-DSD to change from one rate to another. Perhaps this is deliberate to accommodate DSD128 for DoP?
  2. Michael, can you include the change log for this release?
  3. I have a even more interesting idea for you to try... Connect the power conduit to a portable lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack one would use to re-fuel iPhones or portable devices with a +5v DC current... One of the cleanest DC sources you can get and is available at very reasonable prices everywhere.
  4. Does anyone have any experience using the apple USB power adapter that comes with iPhones or iPads for the power conduit for such dual conduit USB cables?
  5. Miska, as I have stated earlier, the volume memory function, if implemented correctly, will allow each input to have its own set of volume level or type (analogue/digital/bypass). So in the event of switching from the single-ended inputs (used as a HT bypass with volume bypass enabled or analogue volume control set to 0dB), to another input like USB2 for example, the user won't have to instinctively remember to turn down the volume or switch off volume bypass to prevent any speaker accidents due to high volume levels. Not unlike how the current main volume and headphone volume level is behaving at the moment - each having their individual volume settings.
  6. That will be on the practical side of things but I am sure most users will prefer to set the volume to bypass mode to get the analogue volume control out of the signal path.
  7. Dear Michal of Mytek, Would you be able to incorporate the volume memory function within the FPGA chip to remember the volume type and level for each individual input? For users of HT processors, it will prove invaluable to incorporate this to the single-ended inputs of the pre-amp version to incorporate a HT-bypass function. At the moment, I believe most users are stuck in the situation where they will have to instinctively remember to re-adjust the volume levels back down in fear of blowing up the speakers when they change inputs in such a setup. Your feedback on this is much appreciated! Ivan Singapore
  8. I think Miska did mentioned previously that it is possible to convert x48 pcm to dsd 2.8/5.6 without any sample rate conversion from x48 > x44. Is that some sort of proprietary processing that is unique to his own software player? Just curious...
  9. Again I wasn't being specific... 48kHz upsampling to 2.8 and 5.6 mHz DSD and not the so-called overclocked 3.1 and 6.1 mHz DSD as not all DACs can support such 3.1 and 6.1 mHz DSD rates... Mytek is possible but not the TEAC. Not sure about the exaSound though...
  10. Hi Max! Good to see you here, figured out the 48kHz PCM upsampling puzzle yet and is that a real tough nut to crack? Anyway, you have gotten ahead of yourself this with this new support for DSD256/512 playback/upsampling capability, I wonder how many of these DACs like the exaSound e20 will show up anytime soon though...
  11. Ops yup! Both work hand in hand, the one included (0.6.0) in the SACD plugin package is the safe one to use whereas the independent 0.6.2 is the experimental built that allows DSD256/512 upsampling of 44.1kHz based pcm. Sorry about not being precise.
  12. Wow! The new foobar SACD plugin update allows DSD256/DSD512 upsampling of 44.1kHz based PCM material besides playing such files natively!
  13. Good to hear! So now we have yet another native DSD256/512 capable software player, which happens to be free by the way. The first of which is still Miska's HQPlayer of course, which is what you get for 139 euros.
  14. That's the thing with particular customers like us, always sceptical about marketing material.
  15. And the best thing is... This new development allows both local and network storage to be accessed albeit via the primitive tree span structure for the time being.
