Chord Mojo with JRiver with DSD...

<< < (3/3)

dtc:
The DSD options you are using converts everything to DSD. So, PCM gets converted to DSD on the fly. Some people want to do that, but the Mojo plays PCM extremely well, so there is not a big reason to convert everything to DSD.  If you mostly have PCM with some DSD, I would send PCM as PCM rather than converting it. That is what I do with my Hugo. In addition, with the Output Format settings you are using, any DSD that is not in the format you specify (for example a 1X DSD file played with a 2xDSD setting), the file is converted to PCM before converting it to the specified DSD output format. You probably do not want to do that.

To send DSD natively while playing PCM as PCM, you need to  set the Output Format to None and enable DSD via DoP in the Chord ASIO setup in Audio device settings.  You should also check Bitstream for DSD in the audio settings.  These options are in Tools - Options - Audio.

My suggestion would be to play PCM as PCM and DSD in the original format, unless you feel strongly that DSD sounds better than PCM on the Mojo. Most Chord users do not hear a great difference with DSD over PCM.

Thanks for the reply. I just set it up like dtc said it with Output Format to None and DSD via DoP. I also set the Volume mode to Internal Volume so now the volume thing works in JRiver. The Windows volume still won't work and youtube only when JRiver is stopped but I think I can live with that. Foobar has the same problem.

Hi. I have a different issue with Chord mojo. All sample rates play correctly except dsd. It downsamples to pcm 768khz. I tried many options in tools to no avail. Please help.

Awesome Donkey:
Enable DSD bitstreaming.

What DSD sample rate are you seeing that downsamples to 768 Khz?  When converting from DSD to PCM MC first converts by a factor of 8, so 2.8 MHz goes to 352 KHz, 5.6 MHz goes to 704 KHz. No DSD to PCM conversion should go to 768 KHz.  What does Audio Path say is happening?

My Hugo uses DoP and I think the Mojo does also. If so, with either WASAPI or ASIO I think Audio Path should report that it is using DoP.
