mark2 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi, In Audirvana these are the options (see pic below) I can output music from the options below 1.Network via ethernet to the UltraRendu then via USB to the Dac. 2.IMAC via usb to the x-spdif-2 then via I2s to the Dac But how do I get them to "talk to each other" What do I need to do to get this actioned? I want to be able have the network Urendu out via X-SPIDIF2 is there a way to configure the set-up this way? Kind Regards Mark Kind Regards Mark2 Link to comment
0 tmauceri Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 You need a SPDIF converter, like the Sonore ultraDigital. The ultraDigital will give you SPDIF via coax or I2s via HDMI if you have a DAC that supports that format. Link to comment

0 mark2 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Yes I'm able to access the UltraRendu and in Sonicoribiter /Settings settings/ Audio Device list my DAC is identified. But is there a way for ultraRendu to see the SPIF-2 instead? Link to comment
0 tmauceri Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 if the Matrix is connected to the ultraRendu select Network option. Link to comment
0 tmauceri Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The Matrix is just a converter, consider it part of ultraRendu. My ultraDigital dose not show up in GUI. Link to comment
0 tmauceri Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 This is what my chain looks like. ultraRendu connected via USB to the ultraDigital. Link to comment

But is there a way for ultraRendu to see the SPIF-2 instead? Can you post a similar picture ? As far as I know, you can only see the device connected to your ultraRendu, so I like to understand how you can see your DAC with the converter added. Link to comment

Looks like Roon to me. Won’t help OP much.... If you have Audirvana pics and settings, that may help OP. @mark2 I think the matrix should be powered up before the ultraRendu. In any case the key to success is that ultraRendu see your matrix. Link to comment
0 mark2 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hi, This is what I see in Sonicorbiter and Audirvana Link to comment
0 R1200CL Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 @mark2 This looks good. I’m not familiar with Audirvana, but I suggest you set rates according to SPDIF / AES, and your DAC, so probably 24/192. Appart from that set DAC to max volume and save. I don’t know what else can cause no sound. But play with Audirvana settings. It seems to me your first post, you’re playing DSD256. I don’t think that will work. (And remove mute 😀). When you press play from Audirvana, you can refresh sonicorbiter interface. Then you have a good indication of further error tracking. Note file formate is also displayed. Link to comment
0 mark2 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 I'm getting sound via both the UltraRendu outputs native USB DSD 512 & SPID-2 at II2 DSD 256 My playback status was stop as I was not playing any music at the time. As I see it now it's 2 separate system working independently of each other. Link to comment
0 R1200CL Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Good. Problem solved. 👍 Link to comment
