Lol eep.. Do you mean firmware and the infamous pink caps? Or were there other defects I missed?
Hi guys, did you try playing some DSD512 or 768khz PCM audio? I've searched the web for some samples, nothing found. So I tried upsampling with Jriver, but... plying DSD512 is full of "clicking" and 768 PCM is one big distortion. Don´t know if it is S2+ issue or Jriver.
I'm asking just that it is in S2+ specs...
Latest FW and driver.
And I just noticed very gentle "click" sound when adjusting volume at high levels with silent music...have you the same?
Edit: only when DSD playing...
The distortion compensation chatter is causing minor confusion across a few forums. Will be interested to see if it all settles down and a consensus reached in the end.
Hi,
I installed Project drivers, what sampling rate and bit depth values should I set in Control Panel> Sound> Speaker/ProJect Pre Box S2 Digital> advanced properties?
thank you
Antonio

There's been a lot of discussion of that issue here and on ComputerAudiophile. To better direct you, can you tell us about the rest of your components?
@left channel USB (ordinary cable) connected to Win7 notebook. Test play with latest Jriver.
Edit: driver is original Project ASIO
Someone earlier asked about high PCM and DSD rates: I use the ASIO drivers and can run DSD512 natively and highest PCM from Roon, but I had to change from DSD DoP to Native in Roon to get DSD512 to work. I run it from a Windows 10 computer. I don't think DSD512 work with WASAPI drivers though.
WASAPI doesn't support DSD.
PCM max input rate is 768kHz which means max DS256 over DoP. For DSD512 you have to use native mode.
I haven't seen any reports of others playing PCM at 768 kHz specifically
Hi, Since I powered my pi with a power bank, I am delighted with the sound of the s2, except for one thing. Today I updated the firmware to 2.12, hoping to get rid of that horrible noise when switching to DSD and it didn't. In fact is getting worser with the days , since at the begging it was only some clicks and now is a horrible noise lasting many seconds. Does anybody know how to solve this?
Hi, left Channel. Thank you for still remembering about this. No, I wasn't. I tried with another unit, a normal consumer DVD player, and the sound did como into the s2 via coaxial. I cannot understand what kind of incompatibility can exist between a certain CD player and a dac. The funny thing is that I could not hear any difference between listening the cd through the s2 and the analog output of that dvd, which I was expecting to be huge, since it was a very normal player, so I am not using it.Were you ever able to get the S2 working with your CD player? For the DSD question please tell us more about your system, hardware and software.
