Listening with musicstreamer DAC
« on: May 08, 2010, 08:00:22 pm »

Hi everyone,

I just bought an Musicstreamer 2+ DAC and hooked up a computer to my hifi system. I never tought that I should ripp my CD collection to a HD and listening to music from a computer, but since the DAC is so good
and handling a large collection of CD's is very easy on a computer I could'nt resist. So here I go, but as I am new to this I have no clue
what settings to choose from Mediacenter so the DAC can work the best way I downloaded the version 14 because 15 is a beta version, and have tried some different settings but what will be the right settings?
I might say that I have ripped my music to Wav. files.

this is the specifications for the USB Dac.

Specification Music Streamer II+
Electrical
Full Scale output 2.25 Volts RMS
Frequency Response (20 Hz/20 kHz) 0 dB/ -1.4 dB
Noise Floor (DC to 30 kHz) 20 uV RMS
S/N Ratio (DC to 30 kHz) 101 dB
THD+N (1 kHz FS 44.1 kS/s) 0.008%
USB to Audio output isolation > 20M Ohm
Interface

Bit Depth up to 24 bit
Transfer Protocol asynchronous
USB type 1.1 or above
Power Requirements (USB buss) 350 mA
Dimensions (L x W x H) 5.1” x 2.1” x 1.2”

I like Media center a lot as it is possible to add coverarts to wav.files so I think I will stick to this software.
Should I wait for the 15 version or is the uppgrade free when I buy 14?

I for have one more question, is there a way to add the back cover togheter with the album so that every album have the complete front and back cover art?
I hope to find some answers to my questions.

Regards Blue Boy

Please download MC15.  It's fine.

Purchase of MC14 using builds that are less than a month old will get you an MC15 license.

Hi thanks for the answer, what is the difference between the 14 and 15 versions? Is the latest version stable enough so it don't chrashes? How about all the CD's I already loaded to 14 do I have to redo them?

It is stable.  It's built on MC14.
