  1. I was able to get it right by configuring asio, but now everytime I play a track it pops a window up saying that the audio is starting and then u press ok and everything is fine. Is there any way around this? Thanks again, I've got the computer sending everything to onboard audio so I'm now in exclusive mode and dac is changing thru j river. Thanks again for the info.
  2. Ok I can configure the sample rate by configuring the lynx thru the speaker icon. This is exactly what I had to do when running thru the onboard audio. Is there any way the synchronize the lynx to the signal coming out of jriver without manually switching it? Thanks, T.J.
  3. I'm trying to get everything up and running with my lynx pci card and jriver going to the bda 1. I can't get the lynx card to recognize 24/96 signal. The 44.1 light remains lit I can't seem to get it to change. This is with 24/96 material being played thru direct sound. Any suggestions?
  4. Thanks for the links, I appreciate it. I'm still waiting on the cable...pretty brutal.
  5. output to the lynx card in direct mode thru j river. Does this sound right? Couldn't get wasapi to work. That's all for now...the bad news is all I can go by is the level meters on the lynx card because my custom aes cable won't be here til tomorrow. So much for that 24/96 nin the slip I downloaded forever ago and haven't been able to play yet...just a day away!
  6. I just installed the lynx pci card in my computer. My motherboard had one pci slot, the rest are pci express. I had heard that the pci card sounded better than pci e. Anyhow, I am wondering what driver to use for the lynx card, they don't have anything listed for windows 7? I'm assuming the vista driver would work? Thanks, T.J.
  7. Hi, Thanks. I have a gigabyte motherboard I built my own pc over the winter. It does have one pci slot, the rest are pci express. I have a bryston bda 1 I really like.
  8. Hi, I am about to purchase a lynx card to run audio out of my desktop. I am also going to purchase an aes cable with gotham wire from redco. My question is which lynx card is better? It seems I recall reading somewhere that the pci card sounded better? Any comments before I order? Thanks, T.J.
  9. I'd like to begin by saying that I had fun last night. I had a hum at first which I solved by plugging the computer into a different circuit. I don't know if its synergy or not, but I really, really like this bryston unit. The buttons make doing an a / b comparison a breeze. I realize its not supposed to sound good spdif out from mobo, but in my system its the best sounding option for now. The dac takes me into the music a lot deeper than I've been used to. Everything has improved top to bottom, but most notably the treble is just much more delicate and airy, cranberries sounded better than ever. Soundstage opened up a lot with better spatial cues and inner detail. Great sense of presence and vocals on dylan's live in 66 at royal albert hall, Tambourine man was cool. Even metallica's harvester of sorrow: great dynamics and kick drum and cymbals very defined, system played louder without sounding compressed. I did play around with the usb input, and quite frankly I felt the soundstage got closed in comparatively speaking. I think I can live with it like this for a while then maybe get a lynx down the road. I can't get the mobo to output above 48khz, so that bothers me, but for most of my collection I'm already slightly ahead of my transport to my ears. I guess eventually I'll have weiss money in the lynx plus this unit...but I've already dusted the shelf on my rack for my new dac! I feel its a good match with the gear I have.
  10. Ok I downloaded newest driver from realtek and I've got sound...now I'm gonna have to do a/b. Cheers
  11. Hello, I'm new here, recently I built a new pc. Been doing the dppoweramp/jriver14 thing. And, I've been really excited about getting it running thru my main system. I'm sitting here listening thru my proceed old school square box player into the bda1, and I can tell u its resolving a ton more detail than the old proceed pdp. Anyway, that was to be expected. My pc has onboard realtek 889, the specs looked ok... s/n 108 or some such...but no matter what I do I can't get any spdif out of the mobo. The worst part is the realtek software says its playing, and the bryston says I'm locked at 48...but no sound at all. I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas. I'm already thinking if there's a bunch of additional crap needed to patch it up then I could just send this dac back and get the weiss dac2 demo price...and be done. I was planning on running an apogee wyde eye digi cable in the crawl to my system. My pc goes in my desk and it can be closed. So I had a plan.....anyway first impressions with this bda 1 are that I am really impressed, much more bass texture and low level detail than I've been accustomed to. My front end was in need of an upgrade. System is audio research ls 15, proceed cdp, bda1, rotel 1090, signal cables thruout, paradigm studio 100 v2. I guess if I can't get it figured out the question is how much better is the weiss? Thanks, T.J.
