ted_b Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 firmware 1.2.1 If you get this doing DSD via Linux I am VERY interested. I have a PK90USB coming. DSD through that would be a hoot!

Miska Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 If you get this doing DSD via Linux I am VERY interested. Should work with HQPlayer at least. But it would be nice to hear confirmation from someone... Signalyst - Developer of HQPlayer Pulse & Fidelity - Software Defined Amplifiers Link to comment
lintweaker Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I have not used hqplayer before but am willing to test it. Not sure if DSD would work on Linux without any driver modification, but that's a challenge . Link to comment
vortecjr Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I have firewire working on Linux so if you guys need help just let me know via e-mail. I also, have the code to convert .dff to the dcs spec and soon as it's been tested it can be implemented easy enough...

Miska Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I also, have the code to convert .dff to the dcs spec and soon HQPlayer does all the needed tricks on the fly for .dff and .dsf files. Either to dCS spec, to my own FourCC spec or plain byte stream (352.8/8). Things work for my hardware, but I would really like to hear if things work on something else too...

wappinghigh Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 But this real issue is why it has taken the pro gear manufacturers so long to cotton on to the fact there just might be a market out there for cut down simple to use versions of their products (along with non DAW playback solutions), for non audioengineering types New simplified setup: STEREO- Primary listening Area: Cullen Circuits Mod ZP90> Benchmark DAC1>RotelRKB250 Power amp>KEF Q Series.

Miska Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 what is your FourCC spec? It is constant (repeating) flow of four character string "DSD " in the MSBs. Signalyst - Developer of HQPlayer Pulse & Fidelity - Software Defined Amplifiers Link to comment
pjomaestro Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hi. Is ASIO working with HQPlayer 2.7.3 for Mytek DSD playing DSD file ? Link to comment

pacwin Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 No. Forthcoming possibly "weeks" and initially on USB. Works perfectly with WASAPI (the non ASIO mode) using OxAA marker scheme. Kick up your buffer time. Not HQ players fault. ASIO drivers need the work. Music Interests: http://www.onebitaudio.com Link to comment

lintweaker Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 To report back my findings using the Mytek with Linux. My unit arrived with the latest firmware (1.2.1) already installed. USB1 port : works out of the box but of course is limited to 96kHz. USB2 port : does not work, no Linux driver available FW port: works with snd-dice driver which is still in development. After patching it automatic rate switching works as well. So far I am a happy camper. Great device and works just great with Linux. update: DSD works as well using HQPlayer! There are additional clicks/noises when I play a SDS file, needs more investigation. Link to comment
ted_b Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Are you saying a Linux server (alix, Auraliti, etc...realizing neither have fw as standard of course) sending DSDIFF across firewire works with the Mytek, or is it just PCM at this point?

lintweaker Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 For those commercial Linux servers to be able to play DSD files using the Mytek and firewire they would need: - capable player software (of course) - fw interface (you already mentioned that) - fairly recent kernel with firewire sound support - snd-dice driver with additional patch added to that kernel With the hqplayer I am able to sent a true DSDIFF signal (dCS spec) over the firewire interface to the mytek.

ted_b Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 With the help of Harald (Synfreak) I got the remote volume control working on the Mytek Stereo192-DSD. Just enable the remote on the front panel menu, then try different remotes. I tried everyone I had to no luck, so I asked Harald which one he used. He was lucky enough to grab a Loewes (EU) one and it worked right away!! So I downloaded some Loewes codes and voila! I will listen to analog remote volume direct-to-amp later today.

Synfreak Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Yupp! Isn't that cool? Currently I'm "DSD-ing" away with some Tracks off of 'Thriller' ... yeah, THAT Thriller! And the AP SACD Remaster of Cat Stevens 'Tea For The Tillerman' (even if "only" mastered/sourced from 48khz resolution ...). I will comment more on my findings on the Mytek later, but so far this is ... so ... coooool! Thanks to Michal, and also to Miska for letting me dig into a new world of fidelity!

ljames Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 How long did you wait? I ordered mine thru vintageking a month ago, nothing so far... Link to comment
ted_b Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'm not sure what the wait time is for distributors like Vintage King. Seems like a month would be within reason, dunno. Mytek's US online store is quoting 3-4 weeks from an order today. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

lintweaker Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I got lucky, I only had to wait for a bit more then a week. Although I did hassle the supplier to hurry up Link to comment
Spongebob Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 So for us audiophiles, leaving the dsd thing alone, how does it sound with the normal CD compared with the other known brands ? Link to comment
ted_b Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 awhile (although my Antelope Gold took 600 hrs+). So far, the DAC (on things PCM) is a good performer, easily commensurate with its price (it's a bit veiled and bass shy, compared to my much more expensive Antelope Gold/Voltikus, for example). But I expect it to open up considerably over the next few weeks . On DSD, the performance is already nearly as good as the best native 24/192 PCM on my 2.5x-the-price Antelope setup. Again, I also expect that to improve. Edit: Oh, and all this with a generic fw cable. My Granite Digital gold one (all of $35) arrives today. The current USB driver is still a little iffy, but Michal expects the update very very soon. "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

lintweaker Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I just had a very bad break-in. My left output channel just went poof Both the RCA and XLR output only produce very load clicks when I use the volume control. This sucks.. Link to comment
ted_b Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Obviously not cabling, but amp maybe? Source? Switch channels? Also, does volume "bypass" setting produce sound through a preamp?
