Title: Errror starting direct3d engine
Post by: kuanj on July 27, 2013, 07:49:16 pm

What went wrong?
Loaded MC18 on a windows server 2012 and was playing OK, but
when I go to run the 3D (audio/3D albums) the error messages
appeared:
"Errror starting direct3d engine
error loading d33x9_43.dll"

Installed .Net framework 3.5.  Solved the problem.

Thanks for reporting the solution.

I had posted 2 days ago but no response. What's your comment?

DOP and DSD over USB to determine the type of DAC 
Scenario 1   
Use DAC model A .
The MP18 Bit stream Format is set to DSD (bit streaming/custom/DSD)
A DSD  file with 354 sampling rate.

Scenario 2
Use DAC model B
The MP18 Bit stream Format is set to DOP (bit streaming/custom/DOP)
A DSD  file with 354 sampling rate

Question:
MP 18 cannot play DSD but only DOP on model A. Both DSD and DOP can be played on model B
Does this means that Model A’s DAC chip  is not designed to accept native DSD file but convert
the PCM into DSD at the DAC?
