Native DSD for DAC TAGA Harmony DA-300 V.3

[agent_kith]

Hi, the DAC works perfect in DSD native in Foobar2000 whit the drivers ASIO.
It is possible to implement these drivers in Sankeoil?

The tools are already available - i'm guessing perhaps you used the wrong mode? Most likely you need to select

Setup the DSD mode. Try DSD 32 big BE first, and make sure you're using the correct USB ID and ALTSET.



Once you have make your changes. To do a quick test, unplug and re-connect your USB DAC. Use MPD v21 and set streaming to native mode. If you set this up, the player section will always display the native DSD bitstream when you're playing a DFF/DSF file. This means it is bitstreaming in DSD format out that USB port identified by the USB ID.

Now if that is the bitstream your DAC can decode, then you'll hear beautiful almost analog music coming out your DAC .

But if you are using a Amanero board, depending on the firmware the USB receiver is using, you'll get mixed results. Microsoft and Linux uses the USB data transfer in different works (e.g. ASIO is different from Linux USB audio), and it appears Amanero is designed for Windows/Mac users in mind, and less for Linux.

XMOS works better in Linux, for Linux players it's probably ideal to look for this receiver. Or just use DoP - that's what my DAC uses as the receiver is incapble of native DSD input. Honestly don't feel like I'm missing out on anything, yet.

Edit: Forgot to mention, you only need to configure this DAC once. The settings will "stick" on reboot. Just remember to update this setting if /when you switch DACs. I can make this support > 1 DAC if there is a demand for this feature.
