Other than that I'm really impressed by the SNR and SQ of this, and also the bundle of things you get together with the unit. I'm sorry about my first post being so problematic, but I really want to be able to use the usb input, not just for charging. I'm guessing this is due to my crap optical cable. But when I go to 192khz/24bit I get real bad quality. Using a laptop with Windows 7 64bit.Ģ) when using optical everything is fine at 24bit/96khz, sound quality is great, no problems like the ones above. If anyone has any ideea why is this happening please let me know. It drives me crazy, I've been trying every possible combination of output format, and software/player and still the same. I just got my Fiio E17, and I already have problems.ġ) when using USB as input source I get really crap sound, crackling on low passages of songs, just like badly upsampled audio you get when going from 44.1 to 48khz without filtering. Judging from the symptoms, it is likely a driver or setting error between Foobar and E17. It has to do with the decoder of the FLAC files, meaning the playback software. But at least I now have an Analogue Output which can be compared to my PCM DAC.E17 cannot play 192/24 bit flac files !! even at optical output ?!?!? 96/24 bit play via optical but too much popping and clippping !!! I'm using foobarįLAC or not has nothing to do with E17. I need to build a better Filter for the output of the PCB, there's quite a lot of HF Noise at the moment. Too soon to say if I think DSD is better/worse. I can't say this will work for everyone I'm afraid but it certainly works with the XMOS U8 Chip on the PCB I mentioned in my first post on this thread. In SACD Menu access is now acheivable to ''DSD Output Device'' which has been set again as per the jlsounds pdf. In the Output Menu I now have ''DSD : ASIO : XMOS USB Audio 2.0 ST 3033''įollowing the jlsounds info has allowed access to ''Custom Channel Mappings'' which have been selected as per the jlsounds pdf. This has allowed new options within Foobar. I followed this to the letter downloading and installing the necessary Drivers and Files mentioned. I don't know who pointed me in their direction or whether I was just Google searching but I cam across this. I know I'm a bloke and 'don't read instructions' ! But on this occasion I actually did! ''.have you read the pdf?.'' was their last answer. My Laptop definitely has USB 2.0 sockets but that's running Windows 10 and I cannot load the necessary Drivers for the Card on that, no matter what and how many times I try!Īnother email to Card Manufacturer I think, though they don't seem too helpfull. Maybe a 'stupid' question but does the USB have to be version 2.0 or higher? I understand from the Card Manufacturers that in DSD Mode one channel DSD should be outputted from this Pin, the other channel from the BCK Pin or the DATA Pin with the relelvent Clocks outputted from LRCK etc etc. However, there is still no Output from the Card at the ''DSD'' Pin. There's nothing in the VU Bar Graph Display but I understand this to be correct. If I don't set Foobar for DoP Marker 0x05/0xFA but set the Output (in Preferences) to the Card itself (''DS: XMOS (XMOS XS1-U8 MFA'') then Foobar appears to play. Therefore if the Mods want to move this thread please do so. I do think you're right though that it's not Foobar at fault but rather the Card or more likely my PC settings, or me!! (Quick question here though, is this not DoP (DSD over PCM)? I bought the mentioned Card in the hope it was capable of native DSD Playback). Yes, I have checked and Foobar is set for ''DoP Marker 0x05/0xFA''. It seems to be a true, as a maximum for SU-9 is DSD512. Thanks again for your help and perseverence! Format1411200 Hz not supported, it means that DSD Processor is trying to output DSD512 and Foobar returns error, which suggest that setup is done properly and SU-9 do not support this format.
