$1.280- Glad you've had some success, but I'd bet a steak dinner that DJohnson54 nailed it. Almost certainly due to the DAC not supporting Windows 10. I've been getting a little itchy about Win 10 but you've now confirmed that patience (not my strong suit) is highly recommended.
Micromega Mydac is a pain..
I've been trying to upgrade the driver for this for 2 days now and I'm done pulling out my hair. What a joke. The driver for 24 bits/192 khz won't load with Windows 10. The tutorial supplied doesn't work, either. Thought I'd try my old desk top which runs Windows XP, and got somewhere with that. I was able to download the driver, but it still wasn't recognized with my notebook running Windows 10. I uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, and reinstalled, and it still isn't recognized. Micromega doesn't respond to emails. It will work for streaming Tidal, Spotify, and Radio Tunes, but it just bothers me that I bought something that only partially works and the manufacturer won't even respond. I've had reservations about this digital business and now I see why. I've had a monster headache for 2 days now and I'm finished with it. When I think about hooking the notebook up to it I just get pi$$ed. I think if I take a huge hammer to it I'd feel a lot better.

If you want an alternate solution until they fix the Win 10 drivers, you can use Linux. Its like Apple. You don't need special drivers. You can put a Linux distro on a dvd or usb stick and run it directly from that, and not touch your hard drive. All you need to do is download an iso file and burn it on a dvd. If you're interested, I can show you where to download exactly what you need. Its much easier than dealing with Windows. |
Thanks Zd542. That may be the direction I'll have to take. I'm awaiting a return call/email from the number provided by the seller. I've also heard back from the Mydac folks. They asked if I got the download from their site, which I did. They then said when I right click on the setup.exe file I should see a pop-up with multiple tabs and I should select the compatibility tab. The only tab that appears is a general tab, nothing more. I tried multiple times on all of the files and I get the same thing. So now we play phone/email tag to see if we can work it out. Zd542, I'll be in touch if need be on your Linux offer. |
Swampwalker, when you decide to go to Windows 10, read http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/08/windows_10_privacy_problems_here_s_how_bad_they_are_and_how_to_plug_them.html this. That's how I set mine up. They're getting real invasive. |
You know, I have nothing against streaming and computer audio or anything, but I just think it's easier to put a CD in the player and listen to music. I was recently over at a friend's home who has a beautiful system with a Linn Klimax server, but he said he couldn't play the CD I brought over because the server updated once a day or something like that. I don't get that - I can't play the music I want to play right now? What kind of enjoyment is that? In any case, to the extent I'm not listening to records, I'll just stay with CDs. |
