Anyone using s5 DAC with J-River Media Center ?
Quote from joespunk on 29 March 2026, 6:18 PMI get the DAC to show up in Sound and choose it, However it will not allow me to select a Bit rate / depth. It is hard set at 24 / 44.1 I can set J-River to use the Audial as my Output device (WASAPI). When I try to play a file I get an error message stating It cannot play at 44.1 / 16............I have come across this issue in the past with other DACs. I was always able to change the Bit Rate in the sound file on the PC to match what was available in J-River. Playback was then allowed. I looked for the Windows drivers here but they elude me & the ones I did find would not allow me to download them...............Any advice appreciated

In the meantime, we have granted access to your account so you can download the Audial Windows USB drivers on the S5 page and check if it helps.
