Title: DSD on MC 18 vs. 19
Post by: mtwitch on August 10, 2014, 02:20:40 pm

I just switched to MC 19 (in anticipation of 20).  I have an ifi Nano DAC.  On MC 18 a DSD file plays just fine.  However on 19, it won't let me play the file unless it's resampled from 352.8 Khz to 48 khz.  Am I in need of changing a setting or something?  I've tried a few things but all that works is the downsampling.

Thank you.

Mark, there seems to be some bugs in recent versions regarding DSD.  You can get previous versions by putting the build number in place of the underscores:

http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v19/latest/MediaCenter190___.exe

Looking at the list of changes, 149 looks like the last build prior to changes involving DSD.

(Although I'm currently using 134 which is very stable.)

Thank you.  It's not really a big deal to me, as I have very few DSD files.  I can just wait until version 20 comes out.

I have just paid for my MC20 pre-subscription and loaded MC 19 accordingly while waiting for the new version. Yet I cannot play anything above 192kHz with MC19. How come?...If I select MC18 as a media player it still plays DXD perfectly as before. Help! Isn't MC19 and 20 supposed to be upgrades?...

What if you resample to other rates, like 96 kHz?

It may fix this problem.
