OK. I'm with you so far PasTim. I have been in the Digital Output menu and have used the "Digital Only" selection. When I am connected to my DAC via USB, a 3rd additional option shows up on the "Select Audio Output" page. It recognises and identifies my NAD D 1050 DAC. I have to select that option when using USB. I don't get a signal if I select "Digital Only". At this point, it connects well. I hear a little "signal click" in my DAC and the kHz indicator lights up. I can play files just fine with the exception of my 192 dropout issue. When playing via optical or coax, I use the "Digital Only" option. As far as the Advanced options for Digital Output, I do see a list of options. One of them is the "Digital Output Kernel Update". It doesn't give me different kernel options, just allows me to run an update, which I've recently done. There are 2 "(Experimental)" options available. "Kernel Idle Option" and "Buffer Tuning". One is to avoid "low power during playback" and the latter may actually be a possible solution to my problem? You can choose "Large" buffer tuning---it says "avoid if synchronised" next to it (not sure what that means). You can choose "Small"---it says "may cause dropouts" next to it, so I'll avoid that one! There are more choices too---"Large and Randomized CPU", "Very Large (USB Only)", "Very Large + Randomized CPU (USB Only)". Right now it's already preselected to "Default Settings", the first choice on the list. Should I just play around and see? Glad you lead me down this road. Didn't see the buffer page! Any thoughts are appreciated! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tdgruen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
