    Is SACD playback or ripping bit perfect?

    Interesting, .. what about the commercial online shops selling DSD titles? I thought they are using quite the same 'technology'

    StormAudio & Dirac Live

    Thanks, nice to hear :) .. if you have a newer beta (I have 1.2.0.8256), and if it fixes some stability issues in VST3 in particular, I will be willing to try anyway, or you say, it will be rewritten as well?

    StormAudio & Dirac Live

    It is a pity Flavio you did not post this information on your website or facebook, I visited Munich this year :-( What about promised upgrade to Live suite and bug fixes? :)

    Jcat launches the new, 'Femto' USB card

    I read this.. But also so the same clock is going to TCXO 10/100 Audio Grade Ethernet Switch, which "minimizes jitter & provides excellent sound quality". What is this femto clock for? This is not an audio device

    Dirac with JRiver and EMM DAC

    I set the default device to DAP and output device to KS away from ASIO and distortion gone. Now I am after a second problem - cannot load a filter. I re-measured again, saved everything without any error

    Dirac with JRiver and EMM DAC

    Does it work on Windows 10 64-bit? I read here www.dirac.com/system-requirements-technical-specifications Windows 10 is not listed :-(

    Dirac with JRiver and EMM DAC

    Understood. But the sound is same also when I set filters to off.

    Dirac with JRiver and EMM DAC

    That might be the direction: but I thought this is done automatically, what do I need to check (and where?) Appreciate your help (as Dirac still did not respond) Thanks!

    Dirac with JRiver and EMM DAC

    Guys, do you have maybe Dirac's phone number? I could not find anything on their website, neither on the LinkedIn page :-(

    Dirac with JRiver and EMM DAC

    Yes, I've checked and played with the attenuation last week, it is -8db, however the filters are OFF anyway, so Dirac should not do any processing, but rather passthrough It is ASIO, checked also with WASAPI.. No much difference.. ASIO was OK when measuring, though The sound is not just...

    Dirac with JRiver and EMM DAC

    I am confused, what can I do? Dirac did not respond so far to my inquery. EMM is USB Audio 2.0 device, never had any issue with either foobar or Jriver

    Dirac with JRiver and EMM DAC

    Yes, of course it works perfectly direct from Jriver. It is not a driver issue, but related ro Dirac. Moreover, Dirac managed to generate sweep tones. I have read on computer audiophile that there is a VST module (like FabFilter), but I don't know where to get it

    Dirac with JRiver and EMM DAC

    Yes JRiver -> Dirac -> Meitner sounds distorted, even with filters off

    Dirac with JRiver and EMM DAC

    Hello I am evaluating Dirac package, opened a ticket with their support, but it is somewhat slow.. Setup: Windows 10, running JRiver 21 output going to EMM XDS1 via USB (ASIO) With UMIK-1 created filter, saved it and also the project. Then set the output device to WASAPI-based Dirac...

    New PS Audio Directstream DAC

    The DAC may sound good, yet the statement that converting (and there are multiple (!!) conversions along the process) PCM to DSDx10 will unmask hidden information from PCM.. is.. Actually, I never liked the high-rez material on EMM and Playback, the last one being a bit better The sound was...
