Thank you Eckhard. Playlist created

Morning all, I had further feedback from Alvin. He could not simulate the problem on his desktop setup using an Ares II as well as a Pontus II. I have send him my windows driver details but I am mostly using Linux Roon RAAT. I had the same results on Windows when I tested it using the Denafrips...

Another update on this. Alvin emailed me this morning. The issue is now with the Denfafrips engineers. I assume he managed to duplicate the problem as well. Waiting for further feedback

Interesting rant  :) I think we can look at this differently as well. Let us think of it as the emancipation of the artists and recording studios. I also do streaming (Tidal with none of the issues mentioned else where here) but I definitely prefer to have a locally stored FLAC or DSD file. My...

I spoke to Michael Kelly, owner, via email yesterday. The Mercury Streamer orders will also open in early December. Certainly worth a good look when available.

Thank you. I have added my name to the waiting list for one. At the price it is a no brainer.

Allan thank you for taking the trouble in doing this test. I concur with everything you say about this DAC. I have not stopped listening to it and it is an amazing sounding DAC. The other reviewers who sings it praise are not wrong.  Allan it would be great if you can also just drop an email to...

Very nicely done

In my opinion this only sidesteps the problem. SPDIF has a limit of 192kHz. Obviously this very good but if you want to play native DSD then anything from native DSD to SPDIF will be a down sampled creating some new potential for "issues". The strange thing this problem occurs with standard CD...

Welcome here Eckhard, Glad you finally joined. Folks I have listened to Eckhard's system and it is truly amazing. Something very special. Eckhard and I have been friends for a number of years sharing another passion and rabbit hole called Astrophotography. Enjoy your stay here Eckhard...

Just a quick update for those who may be interested in this. Alvin (VINSHINE AUDIO) has responded via email. He will set up a test system in the next couple of days to see if he can duplicate the problem and revert back. He has all the files and info that I have sent him. This in itself is...

Thank you for testing Allan. The problem seems to be specify to USB. The files that I have tested are standard CD quality over USB. The issue is very pronounced. You will hear it instantly if you have the same problem. Yossarian Thank you for the reference. At a quick glance it appears that he...

I don't doubt that it is an excellent implementation but let's hope they can sort this problem on their USB out.

This is where it shows that I have been away from audio for a while. I have not come across I2S before. It does not seem that this DAC support I2S or am I mistaken? If so how would I connect it to an INTEL NUC? The attraction of this DAC is the Native DSD support. My Vivere only supports DOP...

Thank you for further testing. This then seems to be a software issue that hopefully can be addressed with a firmware update. I have never tried but I don't think Native DSD will work over SPDIF?

Hi GradoMan Nice to know that you are close by. Thank you for taking the trouble to do this test. I am sort of glad that you could replicate it. It shows there is definitely something seriously wrong with this DAC and that it is not unique to my situation. I just find it incredibly strange that...

I have made a short low res video that clearly show what is going on using Omnimic software. You will see how the high frequencies starts dropping off from the right after a few seconds. The graph is initially out of view but adjusts after a few seconds. Most peculiar thing I have ever seen...

Allan is there any change you can test that track 02 from the link above on your system? You do not need any testing equipment. Just your ears. You will within seconds hear the problem if you do have it as well

Thank you all for the feedback. I will do the firmware update and see if that helps. I have made a recording of the playback. If that does not help I will mail the source file and result file to Alvin and see what he says? XL1000 I could not hear it while playing normal music but it is very...

Morning All, I recently purchased an Ares II second hand but in basically brand new condition. I am in the process of consolidating a bunch of my audio equipment and this sounded like it may be a very good upgrade to my now 2013 Vivere DAC. I have played some music through the Ares and it...
