Hi, I recently purchased T+A Dac 8 and completed setup on my dual pc server. Drivers are compatible with WS 2012, hibernate works, everything seems flawless. However when you skip the track ("space") or stop the playback ("m") on mini player, Jplay stops working (KS is no longer active) and you need to reboot the audio pc.  Do you have any idea why this may happen? Thanks a lot.

Have you tried with e.g. ULTRAStream or River? (Some drivers are not compatible with Xtream Engine)

Actually Xtream is the only engine working. Ultrastream does not initiate and others give asio int. error.  Changing Xtream settings maybe?

Sure - Try smaller XtreamSize but if River Engine does not work then I'm afraid it may not help. If so, stay tuned for JPLAY 6 Beta (most likely coming next week) as several things have changed and hopefully that may help...

No, didn't help either.. Thanks Josef anyway..

It's funny becouse if I don't skip any track I can listen to a full album without any problem.. /wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-smile.gif

OK - Definitely sounds like a driver issue - as I said wait for Beta or just contact me on support@jplay.eu for a preview version if you're impatient :)

First of all congrats to your buy. I had the T&A DAC 8 for one week in my setup and to me it seems the best buy in the 2000 Euro class by quite a far wide margin. I could easily live with it, if there hasn't been the problem with its async usb2 port which I couldn't get to work with jplay. Therefore I could only use the usb1 port which is restricted to 16bit/44 files. However, sound quality when using a decent usb cable (i.e. Audioquest Cinnamon or Carbon) was still very good.   It may not help you, but I can assure, that jplay 5.2.1 is capable to work flawlessly with the T&A DAC 8. I think I've tested all important settings as well as all engines. So this may be a driver problem as Josef supposed. Hopefully, you get your problems solved.
