Spark Operation - lag - 22-Oct-2015 Hi people, I´m waiting one Silver , One regular Phantom plus 1 remote and a dialoge unit. I´ve been a 200 user before , my preference was J-river +USB + Dev. 200 . Before the Phantoms arrive , the Spark app. is installed on my Mac Mini but can´t use it without a Phantom ( of course). So I beg you can help with this questions : -Does the Spark replaces J-River 8 or similar programs) or work with it? -Does the spark accept native DSD , 192 or 96 files? -Do you need the external volume control or the Spark Volume is enough? -Does the Sark Volume loose resolution? Thanks in advance. - Spark Operation - davidadamson - 22-Oct-2015 Spark replaces jriver No DSD Yes to 96 and 192 although some users have issues I think network dependent volume is controlled via spark or remote Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Spark Operation - DSD - 22-Oct-2015 Maybe dialog USB will be enabled at some stage in that case you could go jriver on mac mini to dialog and control the Mac mini remotely ie use it as a dumb terminal. I've successfully "staged" a MacBook through an oppo with jriver to a dialog and stereo pair of phantoms. Jury's still out on whether the DAC in a phantom will handle a DSD or DoP stream in the future; I'm not convinced...
