I have a small number of DSD64 tracks which I have had for a few years now and have played flawlessly on my Cambridge Audio CXNv2.
I have had the opportunity to try out a ‘HiFi Rose RS201E’ and putting it through it’s paces as a streamer & preamp. I am looking to purchase a RS250A, so want to simulate this setup.
Whilst playing DSD64 tracks from the same album, a couple of the track seem to break up and lose sync of audio. This album was commercially purchased as a DSD64 download (dsf files) - only two tracks seem to be affected, and the breakup appears at the end of one track and the beginning of another.
I assume my settings should be ‘DSD Native’ as I am using the internal DAC and standard RCA outputs to my amplifier.
If I try ‘DSD over PCM’ this also breaks up, however ‘DSD to PCM’ does work OK.
All files are on a 1TB SSD installed in the HiFi Rose. I have also put the files on a USB stick and played them on the HiFi Rose with the same bad results. If I take the same stick and play them on my original Cambridge Audio streamer they play flawlessly.
@Support: Should these files play OK through the ‘DSD Native’ setting on the HiFi Rose?
