I have a M2TECH Young Dac. I tried to play a 384/32 bit wave file by using Kernal streaming. JRiver wants to change it to 24 bit. It plays 384/24 bit fine however I cannot get it to stream at 32 bit. What is the problem? Support from M2TECH says that WASAPI and Direct are limited to 24 bit. Since J River supports 32 bit, what configuration should I use to get 32 bit to work?
-
32-bit integer mode was added to MC18 in DSP Studio > Output Format.
However, only some hardware will support this. I don't know if the M2TECH does, but you could try.

Just downloaded MC18. At the moment it is playing a 17.5 GB 384/32-bit Wave file with Kernal streaming into my M2TECH Young Dac. So far so good.
-
Correction: I was not listening to 32 bit, MC changed the bit depth to 24 bits. So MC18 is not the solution.
-
Did you make sure Output Format was checked (selected) as well? Just changing the bit rate doesn't automatically activate the DSP.
-
Also, did you make sure you downloaded the latest (18.0.122) from the Media Center 18 subforum? In 18.0.69 the following was added:
5. Fixed: 32-bit integer output was not working properly with Kernel Streaming or WASAPI output.
-
You might test 32-bit in Windows > Sound first. If it doesn't work there, it won't work anywhere.

I tried the latest version and it worked. I made the bit depth equal to 32 not 32 floating point or source.
Thanks for your help.
