[SOLVED] USB DAC, DSD and MoOde

[Calaat]

Hi:

The other day i asked about DSD and I know my DAC can't do it, and i learn that there are some ESS DACs who can do it. I found that my DAP Hiby R2 has an ESS DAC, the ES9218, and the ability to work as USB DAC, so i tried it. I don't know if i have setup it correctly.

If i read in the specs, it says it manage DSD up to 128, but i have not be able to make it work and the max it can play is 24/354 as my PCM 5242. So, i assume that the ES91218 can't play DSD either. I'm I correct?

In the other hand, i was wondering if i can use the bluetooth of the Hiby R2, which have LDAC and aptX to cast my library in Hi-Res. that, will be something really nice.

Thx you for the support.

To setup the R2, i just changed the output audio, letting everything else as it was (so, with the I2S device as iQaudio DAC Pro), but i have made other tests putting it as none with the same result.

I put a photo, just in case: https://imgur.com/a/msZ3Vnu

Thx you for the support

Change the Audio output to the R2 and then Menu > Audio info.

- If the "Formats" field contains DSD_U32_BE then Native DSD is supported.
- If not and the DAC specs say DSD is supported then open MPD Config and set Format to DoP.
- Turn volume down on the Audio Device and try and play a DSF file.

DoP is working. And Bluetooth LDAC through the DAP to.

Thank you.
