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?

The spec says

DSD-to-PCM Conversion  Not Supported

 

It's probably to keep cost down.  Like the down grading of the spdif clock.  Spend more, get more.  Spend less..
