Rd160 Upsampling problem

Support QnA
#1

Hello hi-fi rose support, I’ve asked the community but no answer yet…

I am using my Cd micromega CD-30 to my HIFIROSE RD 160 in upsampling, it reads 44.1 MHz to 706.5 MHz and while playing with a glorious sound the sound clips every 30 to 60 seconds for half a second and it continues to play until clipping again.
The screen dumps the numbers sometimes and sometimes not.
It feels like the RD 160 cannot calculate the high sampling and then it dumps the signal for a fraction of a second then continues as if nothing happened.
I’ve connected the Cd player straight to my preamp and no problem there.
I’m connected in coax to the rd160 with coax kimberkable.

My question is
1: should I update the rd160 first
2: is there a way to lower the upsampling résolution to 352 or less?
3: even in by-pass mode it clips as well with other modes

Awaiting your input on my problem.

Hi,
You’re asking a very esoteric question.

First, the issue of updating firmware is independent of the up sampling issue.
I’d say do the firmware update but that’s just me. (Assuming its not an early release edition.)

In terms of the upsampling… that’s inside your CD-30 unit.
Had to google for it and found this: article here.

So it sounds like there is an issue within the CD-30 itself?

W.R.T the RD160 … you should be able to see the sampling rate and you can go to a menu and modify the sampling rate, including turning it off. I’m going to assume that you can’t modify the up sampling occurring within the CD30.
