Finally able to playback at 96khz but…

[luis.malaga]

Hey everyone. Finally I am able to playback 92khz master files from Tidal! Which is amazing.

However, whenever a song or album comes up at 88.2khz it get’s silent. Show some progress in the timeline but no sound!

This is a huge bummer, because it took me quite a while to get all wiim’s settings right in order to playback at 92khz. Unfortunately there are many master quality albums available at tidal that are mastered at 88.2khz!

Using an external DAC? If so, possibly its limitation.

92kHz? No such thing.

 

[Mr Ee]

92kHz? No such thing.

Almost certainly a typo between 192 and 96.
But you knew that

I'm with @Matias - what dac are you using?

 

[luis.malaga]

92kHz? No such thing.

Sorry, 96

Dear @Matias and @Mr Ee ,

Thanks for your willingness to help. Im currently using an Edifier r2750db pair of speakers with toslink connection. Manufacturers say 96khz is maximum. But I checked the speakers manual and they only support 44.1;48 and 96… thanks guys!

Yes, some older decoders in DACs (and apparently in active monitors too) have this weird limitation of accepting up to 24/96 but specifically not 24/88, I don't know why...

So what's your solution?
New speakers?
Or maybe just disable mqa beta and let everything come through as 44.1 / 48? It'll still sound fine...

You know the kind of person we are dealing with in this place. Even we, considered low budget audiophiles, spend a considerable amount of money with gear. However I will have to wait! Went to check how much for a HiRes pair of speakers in Brazil and they are quite expensive! I will try switching MQA on and off to see how it goes for me.
