Problems with PMG 512 DAC?

Thank you for checking, good to know it shows up in another way and my setup is not an anomaly. Hopefully this will get addressed in a future Streamer firmware update.

Yes and I also cannot stream with JPLAY or mConnect (PMG not detected as UPnP output device)

According to Paul the display should have been fixed with the last release 2.8.2.
Users reporting UPnP not working I thought that was fixed in 2.7.x Did we go a step backwards?

I’m also having the qobuz connect issue and get this response: ’ could not connect to media route '.

Roon connects/works fine and even Spotify connects.

And it all just works. That is one satisfying thing about my main system, which has some older components in it–I’m turning on physical switches, and playing vinyl. It will always work when I want to play music, especially if other “connected” things stop working.

Yet with a couple more components turned on, I can listen to all the computer bleep-bloops with the DSD and AirLens and enjoy those as well.

It’s nice to have that choice.

thanks - will have to update.

Another issue - not sure why but, is anyone else’s TV getting interference from the PMG DAC? Am not 100% sure but my LG G3 was replaced by best buy with a G4 but now the G4 is having similar issues (after only a week on my wall) - all started after I started using PMG DAC in my system
know it is not the remote (have changed the setting to B) - so just wondering if there is a weird wifi interferemce going on and/or if anyone else had TV issues after they got the PMG DAC. Doubtful that the PMG is the problem, but wondering why LG has such high ratings if they are poorly built (last one, G3, was motherboard issue, so assuming same again).

I have 2 C8 and 1 C1 so older, but no interference. all are on WIFI as are my firesticks. No such thing happening here.

thanks - must just be LG problem

anyone know why the display say F1?

also, still having issues with rate display


Filter 1. Hit the remote button for dac filter and it will change. Too small for me

ok - can’t really see it - mahalos - not even sure i know what that does - seems it is either f1 f2 or f3 no non-filter setting available

I still get loud pops playing DSD files through a Matrix x-spdif3 to I2S on the PMG. Surely there are plenty of people doing this. Is anyone getting this noise? I still haven’t had a response from PSA support on this and now they’re on a (well deserved) holiday break.

I’m on the latest firmware for dac and streamer.

The filters have been around a long time, I have them on my Gain Cell Dac. Can’t hear a difference between them.

flat circular and cut off or something like that. See my thread asking @Paul For better explanation.

I too could not tell a difference between the filters on my GainCell DAC, until I added a P3 Power regenerator to my system and then the differences were audible!

“filter” setting (linear, circular etc.) that adjusts the way the current sources on the FIR filter are switched and averaged via the FPGA in the “SpectraWave 64-Tap Sequencer”. Linear is the default (and measures the best).

Interesting to know what the Filters do, as well as what is the purpose of DSD upsampling rate selection in the menu.

I don’t see the need to change filter after break in the PMG. Initially it was sharp with emphasized details - causing me to tone down the highs from my Active ATCs. But since break in, the sound has settled in with no more high frequency energy glare.

This may not be directly related to the PMG DAC but I get a millisecond delay when starting some songs in Qobuz.
I stumbled upon another guy on another forum that had the same issue with his Eversolo T8. The remedy was adjusting his Sample Rate Switch Latency on the unit. Specifically, he raised the threshold from 0 to 259 (up to 2000 is available) and the slow start up went away. Anyone else have this latency? I have not contacted the mothership.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have this latency issue with my Melco player, see my post, #155 and a response on #159. Wish the Melco had a lantency adjustment on the player out to the streamer in, it does on its USB output, but I had no latency issues connected to the Airlens.

When I first raised the issue of “hiccups” with my new PMG DAC with Delia, she suggested I set the resync delay in ROON to 1000. Didn’t help with that problem but on the other hand, I see no real downside to doing so.
