![]() ![]() Question however: When using the X16 to process signals from the Bluesound (as detailed above), the absolute maximum displayed on the X16 for sample rate is 96Khz - This is because this is the most the Bluesound can send and is a constraint of the device. When using the MacBook, I send the full signal unprocessed to the X16 and it displays 'MQA' along with the appropriate original sample rate of the file. As far as I can see this is no major issue, other than not allowing the Gustard X16 to handle all of the MQA stages, and it only does the 2+3 unfold/render stages. So I have to turn back on the MQA processing in the Node 2i, and send the signal to the DAC for the rendering (the Bluesound does the first 'unfold' of the MQA signal as it were). As the X16 will only do the full decode and render over USB, if I enable MQA external DAC in the Node 2i the file does not get processed by the DAC. This will display the Advanced Preferences for the player. To set a default playback speed for all your videos, you will have to do it from the advanced VLC configurations accessible from Tools > Preferences CTRL + P and then selecting All radio box for Show settings option. One limitation of my setup is that when using the Bluesound Node 2i as my streaming 'source' device, this will only output the signal to an external DAC over either Coaxial or Optical TOSlink. This slider allows you to configure the playback speed up to 1/10th fractional units. After some playing and experimenting with it, I have realised there may have been an element of 'user ignorance' - Your useful post and my own research and experimentation has confirmed that I think it is behaving exactly as it is meant to.
