Yes, they were very helpful. They took care of it last night---I believe it was a patch.

Yes, they have both a Mac and PC driver for this model on their website. I suspect it is a driver issue and I’m not sure how much Aurender is willing to help with that.

Just picked up a used N100H to replace my Mac Mini strictly to play my files through an Esoteric N-05XD DAC/streamer. All flac and DSD files play perfectly, but 24-bit WAV and aiff files are horribly distorted with major static. MP3 files will not play at all---no output at all from the DAC to the amp. As soon as I start playing an MP3 file. the Esoteric DAC starts flashing a USB message like it is waiting for a signal. The MP3 file shows that it is playing on the N100H. As soon as I click on a flac or DSD file in the Aurender Conductor, the Esoteric connects again and everything is fine. I am on the latest Aurender firmware and Conductor app. I connected the Aurender to my Sony TA-ZH1ES headphone DAC/Amp and it works perfectly with all files. So, it seems there is a driver issue between the Aurender and Esoteric--but it doesnt affect all file formats. I was wondering if anyone else uses their Aurender with Esoteric DACs. If so, are you having any issues? I have a support case open with Aurender, but I am not sure how long it will take for them to respond.

Hello--I am new to the forum and to the serious digital audio scene. I just purchased the Asus Essence ST card and plan on hooking it up to my amplifier using the card's RCA analog jacks--I don't have an external DAC yet. I would like to know the optimum settings I should use in the Asus control panel, Windows 7 64 bit and j River to get the best possible sound. I have seen a lot of post concerning various configs but it always looks like its when using an external DAC. I will be mostly listening to flac files burned from CD's and 320 kbps mp3's but will also be adding some of the higher res stuff in the very near future. I am still wading through all of the bit perfect stuff and don't know if it even comes into play in my scenario. If anyone has a good link to a primer on that subject, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance to all who choose to respond to my post. Dave
