All of these following adjustments are being made to match the way the data from the
WIN computer is sent to the McIntosh ASIO USB input. If only ONE type of digital file
was used for all music this would be simple. If however, ANY audio file type and all
resolutions are to be played then the JR 20 settings must match the switching cadence
of the McIntosh DAC. These recommended settings are based on extended testing
using mixed files from 16bit-44 kHz, mp3 quality through 5.6 MHz DSD files on a
Windows 8.1 computer with a quad core i5 processor.
Device Setting tab- McIntosh ASIO should be set as below. Please make sure your
setting exactly match these as shown in this screen.
Next, open DSP and Output format under Settings, in the top left corner please check
Output Format and Volume Leveling. This will allow access to the output format and
activate Volume Leveling.
Volume Leveling will adjust the playback volume of each song in relation to all others in
the music library. Since these files will be manipulated at 32 or 64 bits this will not
change the actual volume of the songs but will adjust their playback relationship to
each other so dramatic volume changes are lessened. Volume Leveling does not
change the dynamic range of the recording in any way.
Output Format will allow the actual playback resolution bit rates to be set which also
determines the file types that can be played.
