@tsangyoujun@Terry would you please look at this driver, its very optimal and works 384kbps
only need registration by your firm… please this is important …
Note: For the final version you have to use a unique USB VID/PID. For more information, you can check our website: https://www.thesycon.de/eng/faq.shtml
this would be way cool!
it’s not a coincidence thesycon was developing the driver further - there was stuff to do!
@suwey it can be that foobar’s dsd asio plugin manages to shove dsd data over pcm packets. i checked the documentation and there is a lot of stuff foobar’s dsd / sacd plugins can do. however, we seem to be after ‘vanilla’ dsd pipeline without pcm encapsulation… and thesycon made it available with the newer-than-official drivers for the Toneboard.
hi @AKBAAR!
By “DAW” Ute means “program utilising asio driver”.
i’ve tested this driver out and it doesn’t work with BugHead player! Although the asio device name scan goes through and it shows all samplerates including dsd up to 22M from this driver, on an attempt to start the player it gives ASIO INIT ERROR - The driver could not be initialized. So you may tell Ute that BugHead player doesn’t like this version.
Also I have checked it with WaveLab 6 in ASIO (pcm) mode and it’s working fine.
The best driver seems to be XMOS_TUSBAudio_eval_v4.11.0 so far
… and now i’m back to official Thesycon-Stereo-USB-Audio-Driver-v224… it announces all the dsd support too, and does not give an error in BugHead on driver opening, yet the tracks can’t be played (unsupported rate it says)… maybe Ute can look into it, why both 224 and 4.82 have issues while 4.11 is OK.
Honestly if i knew the driver support would be that bad for this product i probably wouldn’t have chosen it… To late now though so all i can hope is that they do register the new drivers and we can get good audio.
i’d say the newest eval driver is no better than an official old one, it’s just 4.11 that seems to be the one to behave flawlessly
maybe @AKBAAR could persuade Ute / thesycon to release a non-demo 4.11 for us hehe.
So i got bored and decided to try using the 4.13 drivers from the newly released atom dac from jds. It actually kinda worked but it would only support asio. Nothing for direct sound or wasapi.
@angrynerd2103 does this xmos driver support dsd direct? i found older ones to not support dsd at all…
@AKBAAR i don’t use spotify but it (and actually all others) did work at 384K PCM samplerate through ASIO. not sure of Windows native system, haven’t checked but I’ve definitely seen something higher than 192K listed at least…
