a new dsd dac module is under test. it's a good match to our USB interface that support up to DSD128 (5.6448MHz) the module uses CS4398 that support native dsd (without converting to PCM) conversion. more info to follow.

apart from using foobar2000 to play native DSD files, now we can play DSD on Mac as well.

after a new firmware update, the USB interface is now able to stream native DSD (the original 1-bit format of SACD) from the computer. :-) playing DSD files using foobar, with updated DSD firmware and new ASIO DSD driver: if no DSD driver present and PCM only firmware, the DSD playback will be converted to PCM,

have tried Voyage MPD on my ATV for a while, I can say this combo is lovely. :-) i currently have a 4GB CF card installed, preparing the CF is simple, refer to ATV bootloader for details. when you have completed the preparation using ATV bootloader, don't partition and format your disk again during Voyage MPD installation, otherwise you may not be able to boot properly. when you have completed the installation of Voyage MPD, you may have to manually edit the menu.lst file, i have changed the kernel image to its absolute path instead of a link. here is my menu.lst file, root@voyage:/boot/grub# cat menu.lst # # This file generated automatically by /usr/local/sbin/setboot.sh # on Wed Feb 23 18:02:21 UTC 2011 # #timeout 30 default 0 title AppleTV-MPD root (hd0,3) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33.7-rt29-voyage root=/dev/hda4 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33.7-rt29-voyage boot since my USB interface is fully comply to UAC2, it works right away. streaming 384kHz audio is just a pi...

with a new firmware update, the USB interface is now capable to stream at a max. of 384kHz/32bit.

the new usb interface module is ready to ship now. :-) the proposed price is: 1. 192kHz/24 bit version --- US$199 2. 384kHz/24 bit version --- US$249
