Topic: Player for ADI2 DAC

Wich player is recomended for playing hi-res music files (ex: SACD, DSD...) on a pc thru usb to ADI2 DAC? Is RME planing to have a dedicated one like TEAC and FOSTEX?

Re: Player for ADI2 DAC

Some are listed in the manual (section DSD). But you can use whatever you like and fits your personal taste. No need to offer one with RME on it.

Thank you Matthias for your fast response.

I allready tested the dac using a cd player thru the optical plug and i think the sound is very good, despite the cd limitations.
I also tested it with my laptop pluged thru usb, and using Foobar to read hi-res files it sounds "big".
I just asked about the player because there may be someone with more experience with this dac and other music players.

Best regards

Thank you for the sugestion, it's a very user friendly player, however i think i'm going to keep Foobar.
It's a bit more technical to configure, but in the end it's rewarding. There's support for ASIO drivers and SACD and DSD256 formats.

MusicBee offers a nice App for Android. Then you can control the Music Player via Android Smartphone or Playlist.
