Thanks. i deleted foo_input_dsdiff.dll as sugested. foobar upnp streaming behaved the same. it streams dff files at 192 khz unless you include a semi-colon in the dff file names. for some reason, semi-colon forces it to stream at 176.4 khz. sounds voodoo but its true.

 

Foobar plays dff and sacd iso at 176.4 khz without any issue. It just does not stream @ 176.4 khz via its built-in upnp server unless you perform the semi-colon trick!

A friend of mine has the mytek dsd dac...he uses foobar and we want to play his .iso images form his sacd ripped by ps3.

How can we play them by foobar to hear real dsd data from foobar using dsd dac?

How we have to set foobar?

There are many many threads and posts on "how to ..." get around it.

 

But try:

http://download.yamaha.com/api/asset/file/?language=en&site=europe.yamaha.com&asset_id=59782

 

This is a quite good and detailed manual getting you around the whole setup.

Just "replace" the Yamaha driver-entries/names with the Mytek ones, and you should be able to get it going

thanks a lot.

 

do you play .iso images from ps3 ripped sacd with your mytek by foobar?

can foobar extract from .iso images pure dsd data stream?

do you use usb 2.0 in?

do you like them?

does mytek solve all the problems with current firmware for his dac?

a lot of questions sir....but many many many thanks!

Hi Angelo,

 

I extract the stereo tracks to *.dsf files for playback - because of their tagging posibilities.

ISOs are only played for testing and evaluation purposes, but it works.

 

I do use the USB2 connection to my Mytek., and I'm able to play DSD without problems.

 

There _might_ be some smaller glitches with the actual software/firmware versions, but nothing to give me headaches (anymore...).

Thanks...how can you extract .dsf files from .iso? I know foobar does it by iself...

 

Extraction is handled by the following software:

sacd_extract_0.3.7_WIN32.zip - sacd-ripper - SACD Extract 0.3.7 (WIN32) - SACD ripping software using a PS3 - Google Project Hosting

 

For Ted's guide / "how to" use that link:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/1syTPLOlvmMz2ii_IvZx3unLwNRP7oTatKA0bEkwDPJMd0mc0W5nsOUnwyTd4/edit

 

So...I pray no problem from mytek...but...do you enjoy its way to play native dsd? Thanks

 

Yes, especially my classical collection sounds wonderful in reald DSD playback ...

thanks for all...I've the jpeg in my .iso...I think I can display them...so tagging is not important for me...

 

is the sound the same from the .iso converted by foobar and the .dsf files extracted?

 

do you have heard glitches in your system? Can it depend by pc poor configuration?

 

thanks a lot

Yes, but playing the ISOs directly may cause higher cpu activity because of the used "DST" compression/packing.

(DST is an packing algorythm like i.e. WinRAR or WinZIP, and is used on many SACDs - in most cases the ones which also contain a multichannel programm/layer)

So, I tend to extract to *.dsf and keep the ISOs as backups ...

Currently not, but it really can depend on configuration (i.e. buffers) and system power/speed.
