Auralic Vega DSD256 Firmware Update


Recommended Posts

I've got mine back from Auralic, but out of the box it won't do DSD256 DoP with J. River like my iFi micro-iDSD. Strange...

Thought there was mention here somewhere about needing the very latest JR to work with this upgrade.

 

I always have latest Stable release of JRMC installed. Currently, 21.037.

Rebooted. Reinstalled newest driver. No luck. Very perplexing. It should do DSD256 with DoP no?

I still can't get mine working after 3 months. Has the DSD256 update and JRMC plays 4XPCM2DSD native over USB to my iFi iDSD, but the Vega errors out.

Sad to report that I still can't get DSD256 working with JRMC, and I finally started to sit down and try with Foobar (even though JRMC will do DSD512 to my ifi natively) and now I can play no DSD files. Working with Auralic tech support for 4 months now...wtf.

 

My upgraded Vega has suddenly stopped recognized the DoP flag; it will display 176kHz or 352kHz respectively for DSD64 or DSD128. This actually makes sense to me as I felt something was wrong from the get-go when DSD256 would not play when native DSD512 w/ JRMC works perfectly to the iFi.

 

unreal.....

 

I'm seriously so jaded that selling my Vega after repair is feeling like the right thing to do....

Vapourware as far as I'm concerned.

No word of an update program in Australia.

 

I'm seriously looking at other DACs that can do DSD256.

 

Do it. They have really dropped the ball on customer support. They literally have one tech who has obviously been outsourced. Troubleshooting has been pushed wholly on to me and I am swamped....something obviously wrong with my unit and they refuse to test with JRMC, pushing me to use Foobar which I can't stand with it's overly modular setup.

US$350 to do an update from DSD128 to DSD256 and taking 3 wks is a terrible program.

 

I've sold my unit and gone to another DAC that does DSD512. So much happier.

What did you switch to.

Sadly never was able to get dsd256 working in jriver. Going to work with tech soon on this.

As per Mr.Wang: "Your need an AURALiC ARIES or on Windows PC with foobar 2000 (correct software) to play quad DSD material."

OOB Foobar doesn't play quad DSD.

 

jriver does.

 

Auralic has yet to put up a FAQ on how to do DSD256 on either platform.

 

My iDSD works fine with jriver at dsd512 WITH PCM2DSD!!!

 

With Foobar, the modules mentioned to me after I investigated don't even allow pcm2dsd so how the hell is it even supposed to work?!??
