Generally volume in both Media Center and Windows (or macOS or Linux) has to be set to 100% or else you'll just get noise as described. This can be an issue in setups without physical volume control for the speakers/headphones, which I would highly recommend either using a DAC with built-in volume control (e.g. iFi DACs) or add a potentiometer in the chain to control volume.

And you're outputting DoP over ASIO in that app there. Maybe try replicating that in MC or try using WASAPI instead since you're already using DoP.

Windows 11 and the app are 100% volume, this dac/amp has volume control.

Not sure why the noise using ASIO driver, should be able to play native? but I'll change to Wasapi and maybe check DSD over PCM box in JRiver, let me look at that. Thank you

dtc:
When you play DSD over Wasapi it automatically sends it as DoP. Look at Audio Path to confirm.
