Bushmaster 1 and Jriver
Have a BM mk1 which I use as a headphone amp/dac in my work pc setup.
Use Jriver to play music, the dac is connected to the PC by optical cable.
Any Bushmaster/Jriver users advise on something?
In Jriver audio setup options you tell it what your output device is.
Any other Dac I've connected to Jriver usually "broadcasts" itself and you can select it specifically in Jriver.
i.e. Young Wasapi/ Kernel Streaming for my Young Dac.
Nowt like this with the Bushmaster in Jriver?
I do have "High Definition Audio Device (WASAPI) listed, but playback does not work, even with 16/44.
To listen to music I need to select "Default Audio Device (Direct Sound)", so no kernel streaming etc.
I'm using Windows , do I need third party drivers like ASIO4ALL to get the Bushmaster to do its thing it Jriver?
Anyone with direct experience of the dac?
thanks.
