Topic: UFX needs service?
I use the UFX as a DA for streaming music from Tidal and now also Qobuz. There have always been small quirks with small crackles, pops, and the clock in Tidal that stops if I play something with a different sample rate. Usually also accompanied with terrible noise/track play in slow motion. I also use Audirvana, and it behaves better than Tidal app, but still some occational noise. I installed the Qobuz desktop app, and the app crashes and quits without warning when I try to play something with different samplerate. Tried a different PC, and the same problem. This PC also have Firewire, which cause the PC to restart if I change samplerate in the Qobuz app. Both PCs are a few years old, runs Win10 64bit, the one with firewire have os version 19042.630. I also put the UFX in CC-mode, but Windows responds with a message saying that "This unit can`t start". I usually plays through Audiolense Convolver, but I uninstalled this and selected ASIO UFX USB as the audio device. Deactivated antivirus, deactivated C-states, checked LatencyMon, and eveything else I could think of. I also use the UFX and the Audiolense convolver for playing vinyl. The RIAA-amp is connected to the UFX analog 1/2- input, and the Audiolense convolver runs in host-mode, with ASIO UFX USB selected as audio device. Samplerate is 96kHz, two channels input, and the convolver puts out 10 channels. This works, as far as I can tell, without the noise problem. So first I thought it must have something to do with the playback apps, but I`m not sure. I``ll appreciate any help to troubleshoot this further..
