    Status of T+A Linux native DSD support for DSD512

    FYI. For those who own T+A devices but desiring to use a non-Windows source (e.g. Lumin U1, Roon Nucleus, ROCK) to play DSD512, this is the official status from T+A:

    This new firmware exists - but only in experimental form and we feel that it is currently not mature enough to be released to the public.

    I think the only reliable way at the moment to upsample to DSD512 for the T&A DAC 8 is using a Windows based server.

    I am using the T+A in a Windows environment. I upsample/convert everything to DSD512 with HQP. It sounds amazing. I decided to go to a Windows machine instead of Mac or Linux so that I could do dsd512. No regrets here.

    Would love to see your HQP settings. I have trouble with DSD512. Thanks

    I just posted my HQP settings. You need a powerful computer. My computer has a video card that is used for additional processing power (that's why I have the "CUDA" box checked). I have zero issues with these settings.

    Here are the specs for the Windows 10 server I am building. Will this be strong enough?

    ASUS STRIX B360-G Motherboard
    Intel Core i7-8700 3.2ghz
    16gb DDR4 2666
    Streacom FC10 and fanless PSU

    I would not be able to help you. I considered for a brief moment to build a machine but quickly decided to buy a ready to go gaming machine from Falcon Northwest.
    I suggest that you visit computer audiophile forum and post your question there. Someone there should be able to assist you. They have several threads about computer configurations for HQP.

    Hey Nicoff... I think your settings are about the same as mine. No performance issues for me either.... and your machine is a bit more powerful then mine (my Falcon is a few years older). I also recommend only SSD drives... I stored all my music on internal SSD drives. 512/48 sounds fantastic (24.6 Mhz).

    Randy, I copied your settings!! I experimented changing the filters but came back to this set up. My computer cannot do the more intensive filters (the non 2s versions) without hiccups. Only much powerful machines can do that without issues. But I am very happy with the filters and set up.

    Re: Status of T+A Linux native DSD support for DSD512

    Lol... I thought they looked familiar . Yea, I noticed on mine also that the non 2s version would make it stutter a bit. I cannot even imagine the power it would take to run these without stutter. I know mine, being a few years old is not powerful enough. But yours being brand new I thought might be. I guess it must take an insane build to do that ....

    All I know is it sounds amazing with those settings ...
