Trouble Playing DSD128 on Melco N1Z > USB > PS Audio DirectStream

[magister]

The DirectStream DAC can play double rate DSD only over its I2S inputs, not USB. See the manual under 'Digital Inputs.'

Edit: I was thinking of native DSD when I wrote the above. You can play DSD via the DirectStream's USB if you have MinimServer transcode DSD to DoP. I do this all the time with single rate DSD; I believe, but I am not certain, that this will work via USB for double rate also.

There is a section in the MinimStreamer manual about transcoding. As I recall, you set the stream transcode field to dsf:dop — double check the manual to make sure I’m remembering properly.
