Title: MC18 upsampling to DSD via Schiit Loki not working.
Post by: M2P on June 02, 2014, 02:06:54 pm

Hi,

I have just been through Schiit support but we couldn't resolve an upsampling issue.

The chain is as follows. CAPS style music server>Loki DAC>Preamp>Focal SM6

I've followed the guide at Schiit link> http://schiit.com/guides/dsd-setup

On both servers here, whilst standard pcm out works on my Perreaux DAC, I can't get a DSD stream out on either.

I see the equalizer rise and fall -yes and the scroll over the tools/media path which tells you > output 44.1KHz 24 bit 2ch using WASAPI (direct connection) after setting up following the guide.

I have since tried using the tools/DSP - ticking output format 44.1 in/176out and now I get output 176.4KHz 24 bit 2ch using WASAPI (direct connection) yet still the loki is not recognizing a DSD stream.

Help would be appreciated.

TIA

I will also add that I have set up Win7 playback devices>schiit audio device>properties>advanced>dropbox settings 24 bit/192 and ticked both boxes below, disabled all enhancements and set volume at 100. The device is enabled.
