Hi!
Currently trying out Studio leaning towards to buy the yearly because I really like the handling of it because it fits so nicely with Tidal.
This is my current setting with my SMSL C100 (Specs):
I deactivated auto MQA DAC detection because when activated, Audirvana did the first unfolding job, even the DAC is capable of doing so also. With the above setting, everything is working as expected (C100 does the whole MQA process).
When I play sample DSD files (DSD64 and DSD256 in .dsf format) from my disk, they are passed to the C100 and are played with the max. Sample rate Kernel-Streaming allows. With DoP activated, no matter if 1.0 or 1.1 I get a moving progress bar but no sound.
But the only problem I recognized that Studio does not recognize the DSD capabilities of my C100 DAC seen in the screenshots above. So if I want to upsample e.g. a FLAC from Tidal to DSD256, Audirvana does not let me unfortunately because the DSD option is greyed out, even if my locally stored files play without any problems and the DAC is capable to handle up to DSD512 natively.
I installed latest XMOS Driver 5.58 for the device. Firmware is also up-to-date. How can I fix this? Can I even fix this? Thanks for your answers!
