nuprime ida-6 wont play dsd
« on: 22 Jul 2020, 06:36 am »
hello, recently I have been trying to reproduce dsd with the nuprime ida-6 but I am not able to do it, the connection is from the pc to a topping dx7s and connected via coaxial to the ida-6 but it does not sound at all, someone who has the same trouble ? I have tried foobar2000 and jriver (i dont speak english i use google translate sorry)

From  the Nuprime specs page:

E2: Extension(digital) port for optional modules: NuPrime BTR-8 (Bluetooth aptX) or NuPrime WR-100 (WiFi receiver). BTR-8 is included as accessory.

I would guess that your IDA-6 would downgrade the digital signal from your Topping DAC.

Confirm that your setup with Topping is able to play DSD without using IDA-6 (you can check if there is any music from the headphone output or RCA output.
And then you can check the coaxial output of Topping to IDA-6.

I had no problems playing PCM from dx7s to ida-6.
if I did and if I can listen to DSD through the headphones, in fact you have the option to listen by dac and headphones (both at the same time) and the headphones sound without problem

sorry for the lost time.
I just checked the dx7s specs and the coaxial output doesn't support dsd, thanks a lot for your time
