I have had an Amber Regen and since some weeks now an ISO Regen as well. The ISO is definitely an improvement over the Amber. Powered with two trickle charged LiFePO4 cells (6.4V) or with a PWS-04B-T (6V) from Funk-Tonstudiotechnik (Germany) it does a really, good job! I tried it with different sources: Smartphone Samsung S7 (with USB Audio Player PRO) Optimized Windows Audio PC (booted from a USB-Stick directly to RAM, Players: JPLAY and JRMC) mRendu Any of these sources profited from the ISO Regen. Each in it's own way. That also means: Though the ISO Regen reclocks and isolates the USB signal and for comparison tests I always used the same power supply for it, sources still sound different. On a higher level than without the IR ... but different. Does anyone of you have an idea why this is true? Christoph

Alex, I'm using the Regen with a WaveIO. Yesterday evening I used a 5V supply for the Regen and - as you discribed - it worked fine as normally the WaveIO has a sperate supply and does not draw any power from the Regen. Then I cut off the seperate power supply from the WaveIO and switched it by jumper to draw 5V via the USB bus. As far as I know it needs about 385mA. And even this worked! For the 3.3V regulator in the Regen things are still the same. But how works the 5V regulator of Regen when Regen is fed with 5V? Christoph

I also use JPLAY6 and AO and had the same issue with a loaned Green Regen the other week. Reinstallation of Windows Server OS with Regen connected and running AO afterwards solved the problem for me.

Hi folks, except from two minor GUI issues (easy to fix) no technical problems were found here and sound is very good. From my point of view AO 1.22b2 is ready for public beta testing. Christoph

Chris, this is exactly what I think. I'm sure you've made a mistake here and punished the wrong guys.

newbie79, at Google Drive Share: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3vvH5WBfg8PdlZmeDhNZ1Utbm8&usp=sharing you can find MQreadme.txt. And more information is spreaded over this thread.

With posting the output of wasapi_test.exe of WaveIO driver I wanted to help! Only for the case it would come to development. I'm already very happy using 16/44.1 files with the actual versions. I never wanted to rush or distract you!

Sbkg, sorry, but at the moment I haven't understood what your plans are, concerning a version that can be used with DACs/DDCs that cannot handle 32bit containers. To me your statements are contradictory. Maybe my english is not good enough, but it would be kind, if you could explain it to me. Do you plan to develop such a version or do you think that the already existing versions are sufficient?

You wrote: ok, shall get on and do the 24 bit version. Maybe I missunderstood this ... !? Certainly, I can use the actual versions for 16/44.1 and the 24bit version for 24/96.

Due to the WaveIO is playing 16/44.1 very well, sound quality should not be affected here, I guess!? And thought you assume 24bit is not an optimal format for hires files, I would give it a try if it generally could be done. The alternatives are: Using sox and transcoding hires files down, buying a new DAC/DDC or not to play hires files. Maybe it helps to have the output from WASAPI_Test.exe for the WaveIO with Thesycon driver 1.67: EXCLUSIVE: off EVENT DRIVEN: off ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 44100 16 2 176400 4 1 0 -

Same here. But seems to me that the 32/384 driver is only 32bit at that frequency. 44.1 is 16bit and all other HiRes Frequencies are awaited in 24bit. The 24bit Version of mqncontrol.exe works with the Thesycon driver for WaveIO board, but only for 24/96 files. I couldn't play 16/44.1 files with that version, but maybe that could be fixed later. Thanks so far sbkg!

Great, thanx sbgk. Will check the version tonight.

Oh, didn't know that there is one. Now I've looked on RapidShare/Google Drive and have found "mqncontrol.exe 2496 24 bit v5" and "mqncontrol.exe 2496 1644 24 bit v6". Though I would assume that I need a 24bit mqnplay.exe instead of mqncontrol.exe ... Or are the above mentioned the ones that I need?

nige, mmmhh, that's interesting. Seems to me that the rpac accepts 24/xx files in a 32bit container. The WaveIO does not. Unfortunately! I think that I'll try to get in contact with Lucian to ask him about that.

Jonathan, Yes, I'm afraid that this is the reason why we cannot! I've double checked that now. The WaveIO driver can handle 16/44.1 natively. Everything fine here. But it needs 24/xx files as 24/xx files and not presented in 32bit containers. I've had that issue a few months ago with my Audioquest Dragonfly, which wasn't even capable of playing 16/44.1. So that DAC was completely useless in combination with MQn and a 24bit version of MQn I've asked SBKG for, was - as far as I know - not an easy task. Now with the WaveIO we can get at least sound from it. Although HiRes would be very nice!
