damien78 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Direct Mode is a way to send audio data to a locally connected device (e.g. USB). It is not applicable to UPnP streaming. barrows 1 MBP 15"/Mac Mini, Audirvana Plus, Audioquest Diamond USB, AMR DP-777, exD DSD DAC (for DSD), Pioneer N-70AE, Audioquest Niagara balanced/Viard Audio Design Silver HD, Accuphase E-560, Cabasse Sumatra MT420 Link to comment

Jamesroy Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Thanks, I've been using SOX filter and sounds better than default filter settings in A+. Was wondering if anyone has any other SOX settings I cold try? Link to comment
johnwilk Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Had an interesting experience when decoupling my headphone system from Mac Book Pro by using Ultrarendu. I have a Sony TA-ZH1ES headphone amp that upsamples to DSD, and I found that running Audirvana without upsampling and using the Sony for upsampling produced much the best sound quality. Switching to the Ultrarendu with a network server I was dismayed by the flat sound and digital hash. Then to my relief I discovered that upsampling to DSD in Audirvana was transformative (I'm using SOX). Whether or not I leave upsampling selected in the Sony is immaterial as it doesn't do anything with incoming DSD. You just never know... (at least I don't, as I have no idea about the reason for these contrary results).

It sounds like there may be some underlying problem (perhaps network related)? Before going to oversampling I would expect to get excellent performance just sending bit perfect files through the uRendu and to your DAC (the Sony).

Cxp Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I’m suspecting noisy network gear, noisy power supply on network gear, or both. Link to comment
Jamesroy Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Thanks for the reply. I was told it was the SSD card so I order one Link to comment
