Author Topic: Attn Tascam Da3000 Owners - Assistance needed (Read 1018 times)

Chowbotak · « **on:** February 04, 2019, 07:46 »

I am using the Tascam (firmware 2.02) to record vinyls and this is what happened.

Recorded one song in 4 different formats. Transferred to my NAS thru my laptop. Can only play the first song (DSD 2.

thru my Naim NDX. So I tot, maybe the DA-3000 does not allow the file format to be changed during a recording session so next round I recorded a number of tracks in the same format, WAV 24/192. The only settings I changed was the input volume. Cunt play any of the files. Next day, I format my sd card using the Tascam and recorded a few tracks, all same format. Same problem.

Am using an old HP Elite laptop, Win 7 I think. I have written to Tascam. What do u think could be the problem? Thanks!

I tried again, this time recorded two tracks at 24/96. Plays fine! So am wondering, is the issue wirh my Naim NDX?

Seems like it cunt play DSD 5.6 and 24/192

Update: Checked. The Naim is supposed to be able to play 24/192. So the problem must be my old laptop? Or the cheapo card reader?

Sounded like your DLNA setting rather than your medicore player

Check your DLNA

Chowbotak · « **Reply #6 on:** February 05, 2019, 10:37 »

Hmm insufficient bandwidth? How to address that? Shucks, prof will now say I'm below mediocre

BadEnglish · « **Reply #7 on:** February 05, 2019, 11:16 »

Your 24-192 WAV file is read from NAS or streamed from your notebook?

Is only 24-192 WAV you recorded not playing ?

What is your NAS ?

Chowbotak · « **Reply #8 on:** February 05, 2019, 12:15 »

Maybe my NDX firmware not up to date? According to old review it did mot support 24/192 at that time. So far 24/96 and DSF 2.6 can play. My NAS is Synology DS218 play

It's very likely that you are having the old version of firmware on NDX.

I doubt it's NAS but disable Enable audio transcoding of DMA Compatibility in Media Server of your NAS if it's enabled.

Chowbotak · « **Reply #10 on:** February 05, 2019, 18:11 »

Seems like my firmware version shd be able to play 24/192

Ah getting more interesting.

Can you confirm other 24-192 WAV also can't play ?

Chowbotak · « **Reply #13 on:** February 05, 2019, 19:06 »

Yes bro, recorded 4 tracks at 24/192. All cunt play. Aiya maybe prof can help but where is he ah

Boxerfan88 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2019, 19:22 »

Bro,

May I suggest you install Audacity software, and load the recorded 24/192 WAV file. It’s easy to check if the WAV file has music signal or is just silence.

This should be able to help you confirm if it’s a recorder problem or player problem.

Thanks bro, I'll do that. Meanwhile something weird happened. I went thru all the tracks that I could not hear, thinking that I might not have waited long enough for the music to come on and holy fcuk, four files from a folder all played, and they were dsd2. 8, Dsd 5.6, WAV 24/192! A while later, I tried again and all four cunt play again!

Maybe prof put a spell on my streamer sia

In case you didn't know, TASCAM has a free Editor software that you can use to test your files with... https://tascam.com/us/product/hi-res_editor/download. Good luck!

Ask me for what. I also no clue whether she was dead or alive

Chowbotak · « **Reply #23 on:** February 09, 2019, 10:59 »

IIRC, Desray"s post abt the prof was before 12 Jan. Since he was active on 12 Jan, can I assume he was not banned?

Alamak seeing this post prof sure think I very low SES and ultra mediocre

Assuming is a standard practice of low SES , asking idiot question is an habit of medicore.

So we are united low-SES, mediocre complainers.

Thanks Andrew for the tip! The files were playable on my NDX after using the Tascam Editor. But still wondering what could be the cause for the files being unplayable in the first place

And massive thanks to bros Pokingpine and Bad English for their helpfulness via PM and Whatsapp this past week!

Glad that worked... Not sure what's the root cause though, I haven't had any such problems with my DA-3000. I do wonder if the NDX is sensitive to something in the recorded .wav (which the TASCAM editor “fixes’ when it touched the file).

If you still feel incline to get to the bottom of this, you might want to post on TASCAM’s forum; http://www.tascamforums.com

Thanks bro. I am just glad I can now save and listen to whatever I record. Save my curiosity for another day

What a relief now
