DirectStream Jr auto input switching and track display help

Hi,

Just added a CD transport (Cambridge CXC) to my system. Coax from CXC to DSJ, DSJ to SGCD to M700s. DSJ running Windom.

Somehow the bridge config (fed by Roon) auto selects it’s input when I start streaming from Roon, and the display shows the album/track.

I can’t figure out (set up Roon years ago) how to config the coax input for auto input select and get the display to show anything other than nitrate.

Any help appreciated!

There is no meta data that is shared through the COAX so you’ll only see the rate. If you have the Jr. set to auto input select, that should work with the latest Jr. firmware.

Thanks James. Makes sense on the metadata issue.

Auto switching doesn’t seem to work when a new signal comes via coax. Not sure where/how to set/check the DSJ for auto switching.

I believe there was an issue with it with the first iteration of Sunlight FW but it was fixed in the latest version.

I just picked up a used DSJr for use in an active crossover for tweeter use. My DS MK2 gets the midrange. Have not decided on bass yet.

Two questions:

Can I deactivate auto input? Or do I have to make sure there is only one input connected?

Does the old DSSr rule about max volume at 92 apply to the DSJr? I have been known to digitally clip before… But I have the MK2 at 100.

If relevant, below are the firmware levels in a picture.

Last comment / observation… the DSJr is a great machine. Solid and svelte.

Thanks for any tips!

The button to the left of the display selects the input as well as the menu which you have already discovered by displaying the firmware levels. A long press of the button goes to the menu and a short press selects the input.

So, you can select the input you want which defeats the auto selection. And the auto selection is just another input selection.

I have not noticed any differences in the volume levels, but others may disagree. I usually leave the volume level at 85 and then adjust the volume from the remote. My preamp has a motorized volume control and it is hard to dial in the desired volume from the remote.

Aha, cool, thanks, auto mode is not itself automatic. But has to be selected. Just did not want to send anything below 1000Hz to the tweeters by accidental UPnP!

Played some tunes that cause clipping on my multichannel interface if it is set at line level. Five dB away is OK tho. The DSJr was at 100 with no issues. So maybe the 92 was only for the DSSr…
