  1. Vicente, try to switch the prebuffering size from 6s to 20s. This worked for me, I had the same problem yesterday. go to Tools>Options>Audio>prebuffering
  2. Elberoth, thank you for your detailed experience. I had the BADA Alpha USB since April last year and it was always the best sounding connecting my MacBook pro to my Playback Designs MPD-3. Last month I purchased the Caps v3 Zuma, and my surprise was that connecting its Sotm USB card directly to the MPD-3 USB sounded better than using the Alpha. What made me more confortable as for playing DSD files I had always to disconnect from the Alpha and connect to the MPD-3 USB. João
  3. Yes, you're write. My mistake, the second cable is connected to a USB port that is just down the SOtm, so I thought that there was two USB from the SOtm.
  4. I am using the Zuma with Playback Designs MPD-3 replacing a Macbook Pro. Amazing the improvement I got. Thanks Chris for all the support. Playing DSD files is the nirvana. Playing less resolution files using the Berkeley Alpha USB is almost perfection. I sent an email to Berkeley asking for Windows 8 drive for Alpha. Michael gently email me the drive that is already on test. I installed easily and it is working great. I suppose it will be ready for downloading soon. I connected my MPD-3 dac to the Sotm card, then the Alpha USB to the other USB on the Sotm card. When I play DSD files I select the PC option on MDP-3 remote and on JRiver I select the MPD-3 ASIO drive. When I play lower resolution files I select AES on MPD-3 remote and Alpha USB ASIO drive on JRIVER. I have to use 2 USB cables for that, but it saves me from moving the USB B connector from MPD-3 to Alpha USB.
  5. I own a MPD-3. It is really great for DSD files, amazingly analog. For 16/44 to 24/192 I use a Berkeley Alpha USB interface when listening to those files and it is just perfect. The SQ improved like I didn't expected. Unfortunately it is more money for the interface, IC cable, power cable... But it worths.
