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.

Usually happens if the incoming sample rate is not being locked on or inappropriate for the connection. Check exactly what you are sending, both sample rate (44, 96, etc) and bit (16, 24, 32).

One of two things: You are sending it a signal it’s not able to receive on that input, or it’s not locking onto it correctly.

Keep in mind that S/PDIF standard I believe doesn’t do 192/24 on coaxial, but many DAC makers have extended it. Check your iFi’s specs.
