DAC-END R (ES9018) full assembled board

[rredline]

So Quanghao will ship the next batch of DACs with the DAC shield...that's a great gift.

- Have you installed the Amanero driver ?
- Are you using the standard Direct Streaming output mode on Foobar2000 ?

- Yes
- Yes

Hi Dominique,
Amanero has also an ASIO driver, have you tried that one ?

Here's another guide.

Hi Halook,

Hi audiodesign/quanghao,
1. What is the highest frequency that the coaxial input can support?
I have tested the coaxial input that frequencies higher than 48kHz (44.1 kHz for my DAC) were not able to lock. Any clue?
2. How do we set those dip switches?

I am encountering the same issues as yours :
- Did you fix them ? Can you help me ?

Hi Dominique,

I just tried the DS amanero driver and I have the same problem: whatever resolution I play the DAC always displays 44.1
I don't have this problem with the ASIO or the Wasapi driver, those drivers work with 192k and DSD, see my previous post for installing the ASIO driver.

Regards,
Danny

Hi Danny,

Well, I am not lucky 🙁
Replacing "DS: Amanero Technologies Streaming" with "ASIO : Combo384 ASIO" in Foobar2000 does not change anything.
- When I turn on the DAC, the display shows "44Khz", "USB link_", "LOCK".
- Then, when I start reading with Foobar, the display always stays at "95KHz" even if sample rate is 44.1 kHz or ... or 192 kHz in Foobar or even if I select another input (AES/EBU, Coaxial or Optical).

I am not sure that the problem comes (only) from the Amanero card because there are others issues on my DAC:
- Can't read sample rates more than 44.1 KHz on the other inputs.
- Can't shut up at minimum volume.
- Sometime he is confusing (not me 😉 ) with the remote : For exemple when I want to change the input, he is lowering the volume

I am beginning to consider to ask to Quanghao or to Andrea the exchange of the main board.

Question: are there venting holes in the shield? Or there is a separation between the shield and the board

Hi Danny,
...
I am beginning to consider to ask to Quanghao or to Andrea the exchange of the main board.

Could be the controller board...

[QUOTE=Domi_78;

Hi! I can send you another one.
no matter what, I can send you another one.

However, it is difficult to use Foobar DSD installation,
I suggest you try jrive media, Foobar sounds better.

 

[quanghao]

Yes yes,
Yes it is, it's way with the PCB ground clearance!
thanks

even harmonic is what I love, it sounds similar to the sound of the Tube:
