Since I purchased Audirvana it has been totally useless.
Tidal ,COBUZ & Spotify plays normally but not trough Audirvana on a MacOsx El Capitan„

Did it work during the trial period?

3

Hello @Jordiete, can you explain us a little bit more about what don’t play wrong?

4

plays at very fast speed as old ones 78 rpm records

5

Can you do the debug info again with your DAC connected?

Hello @Jordiete, can you try with different frequency of tracks? Do you have the issue on specific frequency or when you change frequency between tracks?

8

I don´t know what you mean with different frecuency of tracks

9

Different resolution. If you were playing 16/44.1 try with 24/96.

10

With the DAC conected is stacked at 16/44 not being possible to change it
With Spotify, Tidal is working at 192/24

11

Hello @Jordiete, can you check if you don’t have a firmware update for your DAC? It seems that it doesn’t change its audio frequency automatically.

12

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your email.

We suggest you should inquire to Audirvana about the problem you have. Our DAC is designed to work with our proprietary Fostex Audio Player.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best Regards

I had the exact same problem. The Fostex is the latest version 1.1

The audio plays high speed and pauses every 2 seconds. I fixed it by disabling integer mode in Audirvana which I see you still have enabled.
