same problem here with my Encore mDSD … when i use dop 1.1 or 1.0 i cannot hear the dsf … excepted if the volume is at maximum !!! id the volume is reduced the music plays at 5% volume …
in version 3 5 25 it did not work at all …
we need a complete manual of this part of the software. PLEASE
Def need vol at 100% for dsd. I had early frustrations as vol slider would look at 100% but needed another pixel nudge. Also mac os limits you to a pcm path and dop takes double the effort so halves the dsd contained. As already stated that’s the only downside - it’s still dsd from the dac perspective. I abandoned the direct connection and now have an ultrarendu in front of my Borooklyn Dac+. This effectively removes the mac os limitation. I can play native dsd256 (max for the dac) using my 2012 mac mini.
I’m looking at audirvana again and when I try to use my ps audio ds dac, I get the same issues that others are having. If you look at the audirvana settings screen for the ds dac, it states no dsd and no mqa. When using Roon, I have no issues using either of those. I also use the bridge ii’s Ethernet and get garbled sound. I am working with audirvana support on this but this tells me it’s an audirvana issue and not a ps audio issue since Roon works fine
I could be but … Roon uses RAAT protocol and Audirvana uses UPNP, then could be a ps audio UPNP issue …
I’m on macOS and have three upnp devices (SOtM SMS-200 and raspberry pi4/GentooPlayer) and they all work flawlessly, but if you are on Windows it could be a Windows/Audirvana UPNP issue.
Are you on macOS (some details on your Mac ?) or Windows ( some details on your pc setup?)?
I’m using a Mac server running Roon or audirvana 3.5. Going directly to the bridge II ethernet port because in my testing, it is far superior to usb and I don’t like any server/pc/Mac in my audio room. For audirvana I’m pointing to the same Roon music files or streaming Tidal.
Another thing, with audirvana, I can’t communicate with any of my Apple TV’s that I use as endpoints with Roon. I can see them, but when I click on an Apple TV device, the music plays from the servers speakers.
@Antoine I don’t recall IFI having any drivers for macOS. Most IFI products like the micro idsd, micro idsd BL, that native dsd option is missing in the 3.5 versions of audirvana. But available on the older 3.2 versions.
