Distorted 24-bit/192kHz PCM using iFi Zen One Signature DAC?


Anyone with this DAC get a chance to play 24-bit/192kHz though the Toslink input?  I'm getting distortion despite playing fine through the coaxial input.  If I use the same Toslink cable and player to another DAC, the sound is fine.  

Thanks.

AES3 calls for 192 frames per block and 24 bit is fully supported so unless there is a hardware issue you shouldn’t be having problems. Since you had no problems using same cable on another dac I’d suspect it’s an issue within the Zen One. if trying a different Toslink cable doesn’t solve the issue I would send it back and exchange on a new one.
