How should I listen to DSF files on a Chord DAVE?

[mozes]

Dave has nothing to do with this. You are feeding it a PCM downsampled files from DSD. I use Jriver with Dave without any issues.

Go to Jriver settings and select Chord ASIO. Then enable bit streaming for DSD.

Tools > Options > Audio > Settings > Bitstreaming > (select DSD )

 

Also make sure that you keep all sample rates unchanged.

Thanks! I was trying exactly that before but Jriver was complaining . I uninstalled and reinstalled Jriver (version 23) and now it's working.

Thanks for motivating me to start again from scratch. 

Sorry, I am new at using DSD from files. I only used redbook-sourced files before.

You are welcome, if you need any help, just let us know!

Ok can you post a screenshot of your DSP output settings.

Ok I see your problem. In the first window, under sample rate, set the output of all sample rates to “unchanged”

 

In the second window, under audio device, you are currently selecting “Direct Sound” 

Go to Device settings and select “Chord ASIO”

AhHa! That worked. (The Chord Driver is WASAPI, not ASIO though. I don't think that should matter from what I read.)

Awesome. Thanks a million!!

 

 

Both drivers work fine, glad it works, enjoy your Dave now
