DAC won't play DSD256
« on: November 21, 2018, 01:09:32 pm »
I received a new McInstosh MA9000 this morning (sounds killer!). Its DAC can playback up to DSD256, but I can't get it to play above 352khz. I installed Mc's driver and all seems well, and I don't see a setting that would increase resolution beyond 352 in JR's device setup. I'm using Windows 10 if that matters. Any suggestions?

Did you enable DSD bitstreaming?

Well, it will now play DSD64 and 128, but not 256. Is there some other adjustment I need to make?

It is...



Make sure it's set on the max supported by your DAC.

I set it to "Bitstream all DSD sample rates" and it works now. Thank you! (Not sure what it was before--probably 128.)
