Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Announce: Enhanced Digital Output app - USB Dac and 192k Digital Ouput

2012-04-17 Thread PietB

You can add the Asus Xonar Essence One to the list of working high speed
usb dacs.
Earlier troubles I had was because I used a usb to cat5 extender, but
this one is not compatible with usb 2.0.
Now the computer placed near the dac it's working fine in all
resolutions over usb and spdif.

I have no Linux desktop machine. Under Win7 works OK (however, Asus
driver installed)

In /proc/asound/ only files with size 0 for card0 to card3, can't find
stream0 details

My Arcam rDac doing fine.

Another dac (Asus Xonar Essence One highspeed usb-2 dac/headamp) gives
some sound over usb, but the sound is distorted and very slow, what
could be the solution?

Tried and works fine on my rDac after reboots (usb and coax in all

Yeah ! Great work indeed Triode !

With high speed usb hub 2.0 is playing fine over the Arcam rDac for a
few hours now, no hickups or dropouts.
Info page shows the correct frequencies when switching.

No high speed usb hub, tried hires 96000 hz now and is playing fine, no
hickups
Only resetted the touch and rDac before playing.
playing another song and switching to 16 bit 44, hickups
Switching back to 24/96 agan playing fine, also 24/88 
Info menu for the dac shows the correct frequencies

Just tried, the touch didn't loop-reboot and my rDac is playing now

Still no luck for me too, all possibilities tried and no sound at all.

Think of a dedicated server now like Asrock Atom 152D for usb playing
and spdif via sb touch

To my ears spdif is very good from sb touch, but via usb to rDac in my
opinion really better. 
More detail and clarity in high and mid, bass i found the same as spdif
but all sounded wider.
Laptop > usb rDac > Pioneer A6 MkII > headphone Grado 125i

Yep, the same result as mine, perhaps John S. Is willing to take a look
at the Arcam rDac when he's got some spare time
When playing directly from my laptop to the rDac usb input the sound is
far more better then the coax input on the rDac.
So hopefully we find a way to use the rDac with SB Touch usb out !!

Well, I really don't know how come but I hear difference in sound
