By the way, JPlay does DSD.

Esoteric K-01 and Aurender S10 compatibility
Has anyone found away for an Esoteric K-01 DAC to recieve 192Khz files from an Aurender S10 music server.
I have spoken to Esoteric and they will not be supoorting Linux on the K-01.
The rwo units will connect, but the K-01 will only recieve 44.1Khz from the Aurender, thus defeating the purpose of having the Aurender S10.
The makers of Aurender say they cannot proceed without Esoteric's driver.
Does anyone know of any 3rd party driver that works on the K-01.
Looking forward to any idea's.
Buying another DAC is not an option.
Regards,
Jon

I don't see the need to complicate things going USB when the S10 is designed to directly connect via S/PDIF. Complementarily, you can build or purchase something like a CAPS computer (see the latest four designs at Computer Audiophile) and then have SOTA, battery-powered USB sound plus your Aurender. They are at least as good as or even better sounding than the S10. |
I build my own computers and follow CA daily. Any CAPS is surely better sounding than Mac Minis and the latest v3 (both computer and USB card battery-powered by one RWA Black Lightning) probably better than the S10 too (Chris Conaker believes so even about CAPS2). If you use JPlay, especially the coming version 5 which has its own GUI, and strip down Win8 as much as possible for a dedicated audio PC, more so. For JPlay you would need the Zuma with at least a i5-3330 CPU. |
