Mytek Stereo 192 DAC and Jriver 19

[mep]

Anybody have any idea how to get the Mytek Stereo 192 DAC to play back DSD 128 files using Jriver 19 on a Windows 7 machine? I can playback DSD 64 files with no issues. I can playback DSD 128 files just dandy using FooBar. It's starting to drive me nuts that I can't get Jriver 19 to play DSD 128 files.

ask Tedb. He is familiar with both.

Is this the Ted with the piano keys avatar?

 

[wisnon]

yes,

he beta-tested a lot with mytek for MC, and made a Jriver video tutorial.

Mark:

For Mytek Stereo 192 DSD, Double Dsd only works with native Dsd ASIO. Thus, you need to set JRiver accordingly.
It works well for me.

Ki-Thanks. I spent some time with Ted on the phone yesterday and Jriver is working correctly now. However, the Mytek has a firmware issue that needs to be taken care of in order for the Mytek to display DSD correctly. Even though Jriver is showing that it's outputting DSD and 2xDSD, the Mytek is showing 176.4 on the display. I'm confident that with Ted and Michal's help we will get this straightened out.

I also want to thank Andre for spending time on the phone with me on Saturday in order to fix this issue.

Told ya Ted would fix you up. He is very good that way…very helpful.

Mark,

I believe we got the Mytek about the same time. So mine should have same firmware version. I did have issues when I first tried the JR+Mytek but after configuring the output to ASIO, I have no issues in displaying the native DSD files and Mytek displaying as "DSD" and "HDSD" for 2xDSD files.

I did have similar 176.4 display as I recall when playing DSD files and JR configured for DoP.

Ki-It used to work fine playing back 2xDSD files when I used FooBar and the display was correct for both 64 and 128 DSD files. tI has never worked correctly for 2xDSD since I switched to Jriver. If you have some screen shots of your setup in Jriver, I would love to see them.

I appreciate the tip. Ted is a super nice guy and very knowledgeable.

Will do so when I get home this evening. I had upgraded my copy to JRiver 20 a while back but 19 should also still be on my laptop.

Thanks Ki.

Here you go Mark:

 

[mep]

Thanks Ki! I will check these when I get home.

Ki-I hate to be greedy, but I really need to see the screen shot for Device Settings and DSP and Output format.

Mark, Should have thought of that already...sorry. Will do so this evening.

Ki-I appreciate your help. With the above two screen shots plus the one you already gave me, this should fly unless I have a firmware issue.

The important thing is to uncheck the DoP streaming in Device Setting:

Thanks Ki! I will set it up tomorrow after I get home from work and shopping and set it up. I will report back.

 

[mep]

Ki-I set it up and it doesn't work. DSD files show up as 44.1 and don't play.
