Native DSD256/512 working with Microrendu/Linux!

[seatrope]

Hi all,

Just took delivery of my new Golden Gate a week or two ago. One of the things that I'd been anxiously awaiting is the ability to playback native DSD256 and higher with my preferred endpoint, a microrendu. When my unit was being completed, I was told that I could beta test one of the latest Amanero firmwares which promised to enable DSD512 native playback with Linux systems.

When I got the unit, I rushed to test this with my microrendu which was on the old 2.3 SonicOrbiter OS. No luck, did not play well. I paid up for the 2.5 upgrade, waited for that to arrive, and got upgraded (a very painless process of swapping SD cards). And...

Native (non-DoP) DSD512 playback through the microrendu now WORKS!!!

I'm excited to share this news as I know lots of other lampi owners who have been settling for DSD128 over DoP as that was the limit with the old firmware. I haven't run it enough to say for sure that there are absolutely no bugs. But it works... and that's a great step forward!

Thanks to Lukasz, Fred and the Polish Lampi team for getting this working! Very psyched.

Which Amanero firmware are you using? 2002b?

The new Amanero firmware v.2003 is expected to be released next week.

Will the new firmware be posted to the 'firmware history' link on the Amanero Combo 384 product page or is this firmware specific to the Lampizator?

Thanks!
