I just recently upgraded my SGDAC to Stellar Gold DAC/PRE and loaded the new PSAudio 2.0 Driver in support Audirvana 2.9.6.0 running on a Win10 laptop with a sole function of Music Server. After much troubleshooting with various problems with the new configuration, the last issue that has not been enabled is playing DSD files using the recommended ASIO driver. The DSD files all play with a loud hiss using this method which is the recommended way to play native DSD. In Audirvana, I am able to switch to the WASAPI config in order to play DSD but over PCM. Not an ideal situation. I would like to be using the ASIO all the time. I also loaded ROON temporarily, but it has responded the same way with much HISS during playback.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with the new Gold DAC. Any recommendation on how to rectify this issue?
Received response from the Audirvana Forum suggesting the appropriate configuration for all file types. After completing the suggested changes, the overall soundstage opened up, the DSD files purchased from Octave now all play well and for the most part, pleased with the new Stellar Gold PRE/DAC.
