Problem with reproduce DSD256 with Oppo HA-2

(1/2) > >>

zvrk159:
Hello,

when I try to play DSD265 via DAC Oppo HA-2 I get the following message:

Something went wrong with playback.

Details:
Playback could not be started on the output Core Audio using the format DoP DSD256 (4x) 2ch.

This output format may not be supported by your hardware.
You can use DSP Studio to change the output to a compatible format.

Also, make sure that your system has a valid sound playback device and that it is a properly configured playback options.


Has anyone encountered this problem, and what are the best settings for the Oppo HA-2 DAC?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Looks like the Oppo HA-2 only supports DSD256 via native DSD, not DoP. Unfortunately macOS doesn't support native DSD playback, and only can support it via DoP. So unfortunately it looks like you're going to be limited to DSD128 with that DAC on macOS.

Hello,
first of all, thanks for the reply!
I will try it later on a Windows computer, where I also have JRiver installed.
Your answer confirmed what I was thinking but I wasn’t entirely sure about it.
The device specification contains:
 - PCM Sampling Frequencies - 44.1kHz - 384kHz,16/24/32-bit
 - DSD Sampling Frequencies - 2.8224 MHz (DSD64), 5.6448 MHz (DSD128), 11.2896 MHz (DSD256, native mode only)

I would appreciate if someone can take a look at my current settings in JRiver and give advice on what to possibly change (see attached pictures).

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Yes, this is the part that's telling: 11.2896 MHz (DSD256, native mode only)

On Windows it should work as long as you install their driver and switch to ASIO. macOS is a different beast, there are usually no drivers for macOS nor is there ASIO (except for a handful of exaSound DACs only).

Change the Up to DSD512 part to Up to DSD128 and it should function fine. DSD256 and higher files will have to be converted to PCM (which is a lossy process) but it'll allow JRiver Media Center to play them without displaying the error though... assuming your Mac and its CPU is fast enough to handle the on-the-fly conversion.

zvrk159:
I changed according to your suggestion, and now everything is fine.

Settings on DSP output format is ok?
