Laptop Specifications To Play DSD Files

Hi JimH,
Tried changing mains, Files on the Hard Drive, Have not tried another lap top yet but did take my lap top to my hi fi dealer and we connected it to an ATC SIA2 which has the same internals as my CDA MK2 and it started buffing on that too so they contacted ATC and I'm waiting for them to come back to me.

Turns out that the problem with playback was my power settings on battery power. Thought I'd changed this by selecting "high performance" in Windows settings, but my Acer Nitro laptop has proprietary software that over-rides this. Changed the settings from within this software and all good.... Plays back hi-res material without issue.

Hi GuySmileysMonkey

Hey, that's good news, I tried changing my Surface Laptop to full power on plugged in windows 10 but it made no difference, I don't know of any other settings in the Surface Laptop that may help ?

Hi,
Can anyone advise me if the setup recommended by ATC for the CDA2 should work to play DSD 256 music files on a Microsoft Surface Laptop, using this setup my DSD 256 files stutter, internet is very good and standard Flac files play with no problem, I have attached images from their manual, this is an old problem but any advice would be welcome.

JimH:
Have you tried looking at Windows Task Manager?

How old is the Surface?  Try running a benchmark (under the Help Menu) and posting here.

Try a more powerful machine if you have one.
