Hi res problems - Wallard - 02-Sep-2014

Just got a 200. Superb! Everything is good but just a little problem. Maybe someone can help me?

Playing The doors 24/96 from Itunes the display on the 200 show 44, same when playing Beck 24/88. This also happend while using Air.

When I used the Bitperfect app and put the Dev. USB as output it shows 96 on Dev. display...

What am I doing wrong when I use Itunes-usb and only get 44 on Dev. display.

Thanks.

iTunes is set as default to 16/44.1. (in iTunes, see Edit/Preferences/Playback Preferences)

When I play hi def material I prefer to use JRiver / WASAPI. (Excellent if you run a PC, although not so good with a Mac)

Devialet themselves recommend using JRiver or Foobar2000 with WASAPI for PC users.

Thanks.

I went in the utilities sound/midi set up and changed the devialet usb audio from 44/24 to 96/24. Hold the source button in while playing 24/96 files and it shows 96. So far so good.

But, when I play 16/44, hold source it still show 96. Does it upsample the file or am I doing something wrong? Sorry to bother with silly questions.

Thanks!

Are you using a PC or a Mac ?


RE: Hi res problems - Wallard - 03-Sep-2014

Using a mac mini.

Have you enabled iTunes Bit Perfect and Automatically disable/iTunes EQ in the Ethernet Air settings? You don't need to change MIDI settings with Devialet Air, let them to 16 BIT 44100,0 Hz.


RE: Hi res problems - Wallard - 03-Sep-2014

Hello. Yes, enabled bit perfect and disable itunes eq, the Air sounds good, and it shows correct between 44 and 96 hz. I like using Usb, cause sometimes I use the HBO-streamer on the mini as well. No biggie with the 24/96 files, not like I got a thousand of them, but always fun to know whats going on Smile.

What sound/ midi config. are the rest of the lot using with Itunes-usb-devialet?

My setting is Jriver 19+mac mini+ Nordost Purple Flare+ USB Audioquest Diamond. Better than Air, according to my taste of courseSmile I didńt touch the MIDI config, Jriver do the job.

Downloaded Jriver for mac, put in integer mode + jremote. Bye bye Itunes.

I sincerely hope that works for you, JRiver is excellent and the JRemote iPad/iPhone app is a thing of beauty. However, when I tried it on a Mac mini I entered a whole world of pain. That was a few months ago; maybe things are better now.

Do let us know how you get on.
