Ayre QB-9 DSD + SOtM STX-USBexp + Windows Server

[satbox]

Hello,

 

I ordered an Ayre DB-9 DSD and I will use it with the following components:

-CAPS V2 Carbon, so with the SOtM STX-USBexp

-Windows server 2012 R2

-Audiophile optimizer 1.23 (Phil)

-JRiver V19

 

In order to play 192 kHz files, I read on the Ayre internet site that it is required to install the Streamlength driver provided by Ayre.

 

My question is: before installing the Streamlength driver do you recommend to install the tX-USBexp Windows driver (last version available on the SOtM site is v1.16.3)?

 

Thank you for your help!

I asked the question to Ayre and SOtM and both recommend to install the tX-USBexp Windows driver (last version available on the SOtM site) before installing the Streamlength driver.

Thanks for the info. I'll be putting a Carbon together this weekend with the same setup.
