Can't choose dsd 512 (i have a ifi micro idsd black label)

My dac has dsd 512 but i cant choose 512 format. i tried everything but i saw dsd 256 maximum.

I have a good PC and windows 10 pro.

device name: ifi (by amr) hd usb audio

device type: Local device using asio

supported dsd rates: dsd64,dsd128, dsd256

Why cant see dsd 512 formats?

Did you install the USB driver? If yes, select Native DSD as method.

Yes i have ifi usb driver. But i cant see any dsd or or native dsd methods in there.

Can you dump the debug info here?

Hello @Xa3aP,

Are you using the latest version of firmware of the idsd black label?

ı think yes, it is the last version?

Disable upsampling and change the DSD mode to Native DSD. Then try to change the upsampling back to DSD512.

I tried but no any changes. I found this page from ifi. what does it mean? (by the way i saw many people have this dac and they can listen dsd 512 in “Audirvana”.

It means that the max using DSD over PCM (DoP) is DSD256. Were you able to select Native DSD instead of DoP.

Where are these settings made from? I can not find. :confused:

May be its asio problem? Because i cant listen dsd 256 tracks in foobar2000. ( just i can listen in this dsd 256 tracks in audirvana’s library )

You’ll find it in the DAC settings. Click on da speaker icon in the lower right corner and select the DAC.

I already in there. But i cant see any native dsd settings. :confused:

other settings is okay?

This is true when you are not using a ASIO driver. It your case you should be able to play DSD 512 but if it has not been added to your driver. In fact this is a choice made by iFi when they made the MQA integration:

Head to this link and read the information for your DAC. https//ifi-audio.com/downloads/

The Zen has two firmwares available. Use of the GTO filter firmware means that DSD512 and PCM768 are unavailable. I would imagine that you have the GTO firmware installed as this enables MQA. You should set MQA renderer and not Decoder BTW.

How people can open dsd 512 with my dac? (I saw in this forum)

If you wish to use DSD512 you must reprogram your DAC with the alternative firmware (5.2 ‘Limoncello’). You will lose MQA functionality.

Il faut télécharger le firmware sur le site de IFI en rentrant le numéro de série de votre DAC . Par contre j’ai donné à un informaticien pour l’installer, comme vous je n’y arrivai pas à le faire et après avoir éteint l’ordinateur et le DAC et les rallumer,le 512 s’est affiché dans Audirvana. Le problème a ce jour c’est la lecture de ces fichiers qui ne se lisent pas correctement en téléchargement comme en lecture. Les pistes se chargent par petit bout le plus souvent, mais le gros problème c’est la lecture, les morceaux de musiques se figent saccadent, vibrent et ke plus souvent au début et en fin de pistes.
