Title: AKDesign USB ASIO device missing in output device list
Post by: maxi1963 on October 29, 2012, 07:21:29 pm
I did a new install of XXHighend. Tried to select the AKDesign USB ASIO output device I need to drive my Playback Design dac. But the device is not on the list. How can I add this device to the output device list?

Hi,

While Peter is in a sleep mode now, I wish to join in and give my initial comment.

I don't think XXHE will support ASIO. Please click this link:

You have to look for other music players like JR to stream 6.1 MHz DSD through your USB-X box.

However, if you wish to run XXHE through your MPD-5, then I suggest AES/EBU interface. I used to run Lynx card with good result before switching to NOS1 USB.

Hi Praphan,

Thank you for your reply.

I also have a RME ASIO sound card in my pc. It has been deactivated since I start using the X-box. Maybe I should give it a try and put it back to work. Not an easy task; I had serious issues with the RME drivers.

Thanks anyway.

PauL.

Hi Paul (hey, welcome here),

Yes, try that RME card (well, if it can handle more than ASIO ;)). If you have certain problems with it, you can always try to ask here. There are quite a few people here who use or used RME.
But it should be one of the most decent for drivers anyway ?

Regards,
Peter
