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

[beckphotonik]

Just for the record, I have had no end of problems trying to play DSD, especially higher rate DSD from Melco via USB to DAC. In the end, after some consultation, the main source of the problems appeared to be the quality, or lack thereof, of the USB cable! I was informed that high quality audio grade USB cables from some manufacturers just did not perform well on DSD and a cheapo computer grade cable saved the day.
