Cxp Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 @vortecjr With the Stellar Dac I've found something interesting. If I reboot the Ultrarendu and then play a Direct DSD 1st thing, the clock in the DAC diagnostics is wrong at 192000. Also, the music is mistimed and sounds a little jacked up. If i play a DSD with DoP, or a PCM file first after reboot, then play Direct DSD, the clock is always correct at 176398 (DSD128). Have you seen this before? Link to comment

According to the specs for your DAC, USB only supports DoP. Only the I2S input supports "DSD Direct". Unless their page is wrong? Link to comment
Cxp Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 @Em2016 Despite the specs, the sonic orbiter diagnostics, detects a Direct DSD path to the DAC. Direct DSD does work. Interestingly even DSD 256 works. Keep in mind when I send over DSD 256, which is above the spec, it only goes in over Direct DSD. Whether I click or unclick Direct DSD in sonic orbiter, DSD 256 always goes in as Altset 3 which is the "Special DSD" path which is Direct DSD. This is not the case with DSD 128, when Direct DSD is selected, it uses Altset 3, while unselected, it goes in Altset 1. This is suggesting that the sonicorbiter has auto-detected the Stellar Dac USB system correctly as it refused to send DSD 256 DoP which would require bandwidth of DSD 512 which is certainly above the spec of the ESS 9010 chip. However, the chip is spec'd to DSD 256. Keep in mind Jesus confirmed on page 1 that the Nuwave DSD was compatible with Direct DSD 256 which is almost the same DAC and also above its spec sheet input. Regardless I may end up getting a Ultradigital anyway in the end as I've heard good things about its use with PS Audio DACs. Link to comment

For native DSD256 the DAC needs to support PCM up to 352.8 which this device supports. For DSD256 via DoP the DAC would need to support PCM up to 705.6 which this device doesn't supports. So you are limited to DSD128 via DoP. SONORE computer audio | opticalRendu | ultraRendu | microRendu | Signature Rendu SE | endPoint | opticalModule DX | Power Supplies | Link to comment

joey_corleone Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hello, I have the ultraRendu and a McIntosh d1100 DAC. DSD works fine over DoP, but the McIntosh is supposed to support native DSD up to DSD256. I have not been successful getting that to work. Is it compatible? I've been looking around this thread for the list of supported DACs but I can't seem to find it Thanks Link to comment

Tell them you would like the DAC to support the DSD_U32_BE sample format. Hi vortecjr, I am using an Antipodes server which I understand uses the same sonicorbiter package you have for Sonore. I’ve been trying to get Native DSD up and running on my Ayre QB—9 Twenty which is capable of Native DSD 256, and have been in dialogue with both Ayre and Antipodes to accomplish this. Is the sample format you noted on this post “DSD_U32_BE” still the appropriate one I would want to ask Ayre for my DAC to support, in order for the automatic Native DSD detection to work? Thanks!

Des All the development for Sonic Orbiter based servers and renderers are done by team Sonore and SGC and licensed to several companies in various forms from there. Adding native DSD support to the Ayre QB-9 Twenty is being done with the help of people like Chris, Jussi, and team Ayre. We have the code for adding native DSD support, but we are in the middle of some other updates and testing is pending. As of now we do not have a solution ready for the Antipodes series and it’s to soon to say when it will roll out. When it’s ready how it will be made available to you will be a question for Antipodes.
