Aurender N200 - DAC compatability


Hi,

I recently purchased a new Aurender N200 and find that it does not recognize my DAC for Native DSD. My DAC is a CEC DA5 and received the following response from the distributor - "unless the aurender can install a driver - it will not be possible to run dsd. the driver is needed for the system to recognise the machine and without the driver for the aurender, it will not recognize the da5."

I reached out to Aurender support and was told this would not be possible.

I'm really happy with every other aspect of my N200 and it sounds amazing in my system playing PCM files. The DSD thing is just a little frustrating. Anyone else have similar experiences?

OP go into N200 settings, Advanced. Switch off Native DSD. It will send DoP (dsd over pcm) to your DAC. It should be fine. 

Good way to approach it! There’s a lot of high res content on Qobuz that sounds incredible with N200. I rarely go to my library to play DSD
