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?

Thanks for the info!

My DAC is capable of processing up to native DSD256 and will indicate same on its front panel. Aurender support say they 'cannot make it work' which threw me a bit as I thought they took pride in being compatible with anything thrown at them.

I get that DoP will unpack the DSD file and am experimenting. It won't spoil my enjoyment of the music! :-)

Cheers
