firedog Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'm using Roon on a Windows 10 server over ASIO USB to my Mytek 192 DSD DAC. Issue: If I play a mixed playlist of DSD and PCM tracks, I seem to intermittently lose connection to the DAC, and Roon skips tracks when going from a DSD to PCM track and vice-versa. If I play only DSD tracks or only PCM tracks there are no issues. Any one else experience similar issues? Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three . Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment

firedog Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Apparently I figured out the problem. Apparently with Roon (unlike other software) the track switching was to fast for the USB driver to keep up. So in the Roon "audio settings" I increased the "resync delay" (time between tracks) to 100ms from the default 0ms. I also am sending DSD as DoP instead of "native. Apparently this also makes it easier for the Mytek driver to deal with a playlist of mixed formats/sample rates, as it sees both DSD and PCM as PCM.
