C-Media USB-receiver is notorious for compatibility issues. With JPlay too it is the one USB-chip they never managed to get working.

Maybe look out for another more compatible DAC?

R1.2 sounds like 100000 and better. texture improved. very rich + airy + smooth.
the bass feels funny (dirty?). same feeling i have with 100000. does other people have same issue?
tested on r2.

think it's because your dac must be expecting larger period size 2.71 would have 23 ms, R2.0 has 10ms.

have a 10ms assembly version which has very tight/fast bass, that's my next release, but may take a few days.

1000000000 Well I understand why everybody raves about it. Using R1.1 for hires and that works fine for me. Mellow and nicely detailed will have to go back and compare it to more detailed versions.

Hasn't got the same realness

yes. 100000 more detail little more real.
R1.2 uses sse2. understandable that it typically has less details.
compared to 100000, R1.2 has more stability. also cleaner + richer.
music flow feels the same between the two.
there is some trade-off.

couldn't really disagree
cleaner yes maybe sort of sanitised though :)
detail and realness is too much to lose for me
100000 not perfect either he he...

always end up listening to 100000 for a while after testing

is the avx masters lost?

nige2000, have you tried 5 5 5 14?
14>9 in resolution. (1-5% more)
9 is more compromising. i just realized it recently. if jitter is low, 14 should be better.

uploaded R1.3 and R2.1, just play 16/44, but probably the best 16/44 you've heard (from MQn anyway). Turn the volume up to 11.
