Build 94 DSD256 from RoonReady Sonicorbiter SE

I just wanted to follow up and let you know that we have an update for the unit that adds native DSD support for the Oppo HA-2 DAC.

Upgrade the unit from the GUI and wait for a “Back to Main Menu” link to appear at the bottom of the status section. After the “Back to Main Menu” link appears complete the update by rebooting the unit. Please test and provide feedback.

Just following up that the upgrade process was painless and that the update works great with the Oppo HA-2. My Vi DAC is taking longer than expected to arrive so thank you to all that made this update possible so that my Oppo can hold me over until my new DAC arrives.

Hi Jesus

I use the NUPRIME HD-AVP, which is based on the same DAC as the NUPRIME DAC-10. DSD Native works fine up to DSD128, but DSD256 gets converted to PCM (352,8 kHz). Any chance to get native DSD256 support?

Send me the output of DAC Diagnostics from the GUI via private message.

I submitted the data and we have the patch now. It will get pushed into the unit during a future update.

Wow! That was fast. Thanks for the effort. BTW: Just ordered the microRendu. Great stuff!

Studder playback of DSD256 on W4S DAC has been corrected. EJ reported to me that W4S DAC supports DSD256 via DoP, but that does not appear to be the case. I’ll get clarification.Since the W4S DAC does not currently support DSD256 via DoP or native Roon resamples it to the highest supported rate or the max rate selected by the user in Roon.Playback is a function of the computer running Roon server and/or the network. We are not sure what caused the studder, but it’s working now.In order for any DAC to support DSD256 via DoP it needs to support PCM at 705.6kHz. The W4S DAC’s max rate is currently 384kHz and thus Roon can not send it DSD256 via DoP.The work around is to send the W4S DAC native DSD at DSD256. I have the patch to try this on the W4S DAC, but it will take some time to test it and get it pushed into the unit. No guarantees, but at least EJ is willing to help. I’ll keep you posted…

Jesus:

Any change here? Is DSD256 still dead for W4S?

Thanks

No news. It’s really out of my hands…
