Topic: ADI-2 DAC fs: sound gaps over 384kbps
Dear friends,
I'm suffering a problem with my chain:
MacOS Big Sur 11.4 - Audirvana (or Amazon HD) - ADI2DACfs - SMSL DA-9 - JohnBlu JB3 speakers.
The problem replicates whatever software player I use if the output resolution is over 384kpbs.
Therefore I've fixed Audirvana not to go over that maximum res (except if DSD256 files are played).
What happens if >384kbps?
I always get gaps in the music, sort of stuttering, from time to time (but always).
I'm using the original RME USB cable via a thunderbolt-to-usb hub (given the mac has no usb-a plugs).
A 768KHz/32 stream should occupy about 50Mbps, so well below the theoretical 480Mbps USB2.0 limit.
I've already tried to use different USB ports.
Has anyone ever suffered such a problem? Any idea?
PS. for the rest I can only be extraordinary happy with this awesome DAC / engineering opus. Think I'll stick to RME forever, even not being a pro :-)
