Title: Incorrect speed when changing format wih 9z-7-2
Post by: AlainGr on September 03, 2012, 06:37:28 pm
I have witnessed a wrong speed as a song at 16/44 played immediately after one that was 24/96... The 16/44 was too fast. I immediately replayed the 16/44 song alone and that time it worked at the right speed.

I guess I should not allow format change - meaning no mix between different format ? Or is it a matter of multiples (one is a multiple of 48khz, aka 96) ?

This should not happen Alain.
Can you FileMail me the two tracks in question please ?

Thanks,
Peter

Alain,

That was you, about that 48Khz playing too fast, right ?
So, do you mean in this situation that the 44.1 is playing at the speed of 48 or something like that ? Thus, not double ?

By now we maybe must suspect your DAC ?
It can be so that when two osciallators are in there, the sampling speed is changed all right (XXHE does this undoubtedly) but that something in there can't change from oscillator ... (by the means XXHE applies that is).

Hi Peter,

No, it was not me (mentionning a too fast play at 48khz)... Or are you talking about these ?

Anyway, ok I will send the 2 songs as requested. Could be as you indcate a possible incapacity for either the DAC or the Audiophilleo to switch fast enough ?

I have done a few tests...

KS:
With upsample = 24/96 (to 24/192) and 16/44.1 (to 24/176.4) = faster.
Without upsample = this time the second song really is stuck at 96khz since it is way too fast. 

WASAPI:
With or without upsample: same results, but different from KS.
e.g. a window appears with the following message with the title "Fail!": "Communication error with Endpoint device". If I close this window, the second song (the 16/44.1) starts but is faster than usual. Sounds like 48khz...


Invert order:
WASAPI:
No upsampling: Same Error Window, but when I press Ok, the 96khz song plays like 44.1...
With upsampling: Same Error Window, but when I press Ok, no sound.

KS:
No upsampling: the 96khz plays this time at 44.1...
With upsampling: the 96khz song, instead of playing at 192khz, plays at 176.4...

Well, that's it for me ;)

Regards,

Alain

So of course it was you.

Thanks for sending me the example files. I will test them here, but it looks way suspicious to me ...

Peter

Hi Peter,

I did not mention that I tried this with JRiver Media Center, a software that I bought before I heard about XXHIGHEND. I still get the upgrades year after year, but I don't even dare to compare the 2 of them.

It works with JRiver, but I now guess that there are far too many differences to make something out of this.

Regards,

Alain

Hi Peter,

This issue seems to be about the same as I have right now. cfr. "HDtracks" forum.

The problem was not on the HDtracks files.

Best regards,
Didi
