So maybe change to the question, why should I use a streamer like bluesound node instead of laptop, what is the benefit?
MHDT Pagoda question on use
Hi all,
I have been using this DAC and really like it but am having some issues and wonder if anyone has any tips or experience with this.
I know this is not a MQA DAC but when I try to play a MQA file using usb audio player pro the sound is slowed down and digitized. Is this because the DAC cannot recognize the MQA?
I mainly use Linux and have no problem with Tidal. I switched to Amazon and i noticed they do not have a Linux app so needed to switch to Windows.
When i use Windows, any sound through this DAC is slow and digitized, this can be youtube, amazon via the web, or the desktop app. I did install the provided drivers.
When i try to use the Amazon app via my andriod phone the sound is slow and digitized.
I am at a loss as to how to get Amazon or windows or andriod to work.

Many find sound quality improves using a purpose built audio device instead of a computer. As to your original post .. sorry to say I can't help you with your particular issues (not a Windows guy and I don't ever wire my Android phone to the DAC). I also have the Pagoda and it works great with my Bluesound Node 2, Chromecast Audio, and Sonore microRendu. It also worked just fine with my Mac mini when I tried it. I'm trialing Amazon Music HD and streaming two ways:

Saw this on another forum and thought it might be of interest to you: https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=14070322011&tag=mfconvert-20 Of note .. "At this time, external DACs are not supported on Android." |
