| Windows Sound Basics - ASIO WASAPI etc Well, some progress at least, the 'Exclusive Mode'is indeed in the Tidal App, just not from the settings menu. Bottom right is a sound output icon and against the 'Speakers' with DAC name is 'More Settings'. Will still look to a more system wide... | |
| Windows Sound Basics - ASIO WASAPI etc Thanks @drrsutliff . The Gryphon drivers were for your DAC? This would make sense to me technically. I am not aware of any configuration available in the Vega driver, but worth a deeper dive on that. | |
| Windows Sound Basics - ASIO WASAPI etc Thanks @drrsutliff I need to find out more about the ASIO driver. I have the latest Vega driver, and indeed needed it to get the dac working. Maybe there is additional configuration to bypass the windows sample rate? | |
| Windows Sound Basics - ASIO WASAPI etc That's good to know, thank-you @gdaddy1 | |
| Battle of the Older DAC @jond that seller is in NZ. Trademe is the NZ equivalent of Craigslist. | |
| Battle of the Older DAC I also suspect this is a steal at roughly USD$2155 Bel Canto DAC 3.7, VB Power Supply, Ref Link Asynchronous USB Converter https://www.trademe.co.nz/4907309877 | |
| Battle of the Older DAC There is a lot to take in here, particularly for someone as new to the game as I am, and that's without the ASR takes. @jji666 it is an excellent point to start with what i am trying to achieve. And this is where newbies with less trained ears ca... | |
| Battle of the Older DAC Many thanks for the recommendations, and I always enjoy the discussions within this community. Plenty of research ahead, which suits me just fine. Also plenty of envy for the options and service available in the US. For those of us outside it is... | |
| Battle of the Older DAC And to answer the question that I missed above, budget would top out at USD 2k realistically. Came into this upgrade path wanting a new amp, but that is another story. | |
| Battle of the Older DAC Thank-you for the advice, much appreciated. Listening to a variety of DAC options in my own (heavily compromised) room would be the ideal way to go, just limited options to do that. I feel a trip to the closest dealer with a listening room is th... | |
| Do other DACs do this? Auralic Vega In case of interest, the settings in the NUC do make a difference. At this point I am thinking this is not a DAC issue. Will be exploring additional settings. | |
| Do other DACs do this? Auralic Vega Thanks for the input @audioman58 The Innuos Pulse Mini has an on-board DAC, the Pulse and Pulsar do not. I had thought I could leverage the DAC in the mini with the digital output of the NUC, but it cannot do this. To go the Innuos route I would... | |
| Do other DACs do this? Auralic Vega @lloydc do you have a better source than a NUC to feed your Vega tastier treats? | |
| Do other DACs do this? Auralic Vega @lapera it may come to that. I have upgraded network and USB on order so will give it a shot anyway, then if this fix https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/wmmrum/audio_crackling_pop_on_windows_11/ also doesn't work a new DAC would be the go... | |
| Do other DACs do this? Auralic Vega The DAC Magic it replaced did not do this. It just sounded terrible in comparison. Could just be more sensitive to the setup, or faulty. A better USB cable is a thought, with no real downside to try. Will give that a go. |
