Innous Zenith Mk3 and the PS Audio Directstream Mk2
Does anybody have any idea why I can't get sound or play a DSF file if the Innous audio setting is anything other than "Transcode into Flac No DSD Support?" Checking Native DSD results in no sound and the file plays silently for 10 seconds and starts over. Even when the "transcode to flac" is checked I'm getting readout of either 756.2/24 or 352/24 which Innous says is not reading the DSD correctly. How can a native DSD DAc not be able to play DSD? I have cleared the queque and tried different latency setting but nothing works other than Transcode to Flac...this is not giving me the full DSF sound according to INnous.
Looks like the Zenith might not support DSD Native with the DirectStream. See https://innuos.com/kb/known-compatible-native-dsd-dacs/
In general, DSD Native is somewhat of a crapshoot. Might want to try DoP mode - it packages up the DSD in a PCM container which is just as good as 'native' and seems to enjoy wider compatibility. I can't find any info on how to enable it on the Innuos website and don't own a Zenith. |
