I have just treated myself to the Chord Qutest DAC. I am however, having connection issues.
When I connect the Aries to Qutest via USB, which I intended to be my connection of choice, I find that if I upsample to 768mHz I get white noise as well as the music. At any other, lower rate, it works fine. When I connect the DAC directly to my Mac Mini all is fine at 768mHz.
The white noise is not continuous however, several seconds of music only, then periods of white noise and music.
I tried reducing the bit rate to 24, leaving the upsampling rate at 768mHz and still the white noise.
Mainly because of issue 1, I therefore decided to connect the Aries Mini to DAC via Coax. I then found that the maximum rate at which anything would play is 192mHz despite the DAC being capable of 384mHz via coax.
Does anyone have any similar experience of these issues, Would I be correct in blaming the Aries Mini for these issues? If so, does anyone have any suggestions.
