Title: Settings for Hi Rez? Post by: boleary on March 18, 2011, 12:35:18 pm Am listening to a FLAC, 24/96, 2L file, Marianne Thorsen, Mozart Violin Concerto's. Long time ago I converted the FLAC to a wave file, its huge, and am playing the wave. It sounds great upsampled 4x (384). I've done no SQ comparisons to other possibilities but there is an issue: namely, I cannot play the file as a straight 24/96 file; wether ARC Prediction is or is not ticked it plays at something less than half speed when I play it with no upsampling in XX. It will play at the correct speed at 32/192 and at 32/384. Just wondering what the correct setting is or should be for playing such a file?
Oh, one more thing; if I turn off the 384 switch on the dac (switch 5 in my manual), XX still shows the file playing at 384 when upsampling in XX is set to 4x. Is this possible?

This is an XXHighEnd problem, and I never took the time to solve this little issue.
The way to play there files normally is in "192" mode, which not only means the switch, but also deactivating "NOS1 384" mode in XXHighEnd. Then it works. Will be solved of course ! |
