Description Of Issue
When i’m playing a DSF DSD64 2 channels 1bit file, i get clips and stops régulary.
The conversion options are:
- No MQA support
- Sampling rate MAX (PCM): 192 KHZ
- PCM 24
- MQA “core” YES
My KEF are supposed to be able to decode those sample rates.
When i change sample rate from 192 to 96, everything works flawlessly.
The sample rate used to downsample from the DSD to PCM is a bit strange :
DSD64 -> 352,8 KHZ PCM
352,8 -> 176,4 KHZ
64 bit float -> 24 bit
I’m wondering if the 176,4 KHZ part is part of the problem…
Maybe not…
I tried to check the load of my NAS But nothing was over 50% of use (ram, cpu, network load)
Considering t’s working fine with 96KHZ sample rate, it’s not a “real” issue except that it would be great to be able to use the max DSP capabilities of my DAC/SPEAKERS.
The same apply with multiple DSD’s : 64/128/256 ones…
FLAC MQA 44,1 KHZ 24 bits 2ch 387 works ok
FLAC 192/24 is ok
WAVE 192/24 is ok
Plus i expérience loss of core when using ROON on an android phone.
Reading other posts, it looks like the connexion to roon core doesn’t like mesh systems.
I’m not on a ORBI, but there is something to investigate there.
