Azizz, please post a picture of your Dac, front and back.
EDIT: found the pictures here, https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/golden-gate-2-reactions.24388/page-4#post-513809
It seems you need to actively engage DSD512 chipless module. Not sure if that is pushing in the faceplate button, as that is usually to switch between USB and SPDIF input...I always had Vol CTL Lampis since B7 (you use the remote control), so am not sure how this is done on your Dac.

I checked it, when I ordered the dac, and was told, that the switching between chipless DSD512 and R2R is fully automatic in GG2.

A question list
1- Does the antipodes have a usb output that you are using to convey your. ?
2- If so what formats / bit rates does or play ?
3- Can you play any dsd from Roon ?
4- when you play pcm a d dsd post a screen shot of the usb connection as it's seen in Roon .

Azizz - On your browser go to http://myantipodes.com. Click on the manage button. Click on settings and then on the Roon Ready icon. Make sure the DSD Support window has Native DSD selected and not DoP. I may be wrong, but I believe DoP only supports up to 256. The screenshots you posted in previous messages are identical to what I have. I have an older version of the Amanero firmware that only supports DoP up to 256. Hope this makes sense. Let me know the outcome.
Thank you, I will try that, when I get home. I was sure, Lampizator dacs only support DSD via DoP, that is why I've always selected DoP.
Native rate playback beats upsampling...to me at least.It worked. I have DSD512 support now. Although, I am not sure, I liked, what I heard.
Mr P, thank you very much!
Hi Gents
I'm using RK242 and directly connect my GG2 to the ATC 50a active now, the tone is just right and i want to stay with the 242 tubes, however, due to the impedance mis-matching 1,600 ohm in GG2 and 10k ohm in ATC active, the bass and the overall picture is limited and im going to buy a preamp soon, since i have VC in my GG2, may i know the whats the best range of the sweet spot happens? Always heard that most of the preamp need to work well after 11o clock, may i know any particular range in GG2 is the best as well? E.g between -10db to -20db, i fully understand there are dependences of diff preamp and equipment for the best result, just want to hear the experience of the experts in this thread to share your VC setting. Thx so much, Joe

I’m no expert - but I’d say when you get the new preamp, start with the vc in the GG2 bypassed (0db) and go from there - if you get any distortion then simply back the vc on the GG2 down until the distortion goes away.
when shopping for a pre- go for at least 40k input impedance single ended if possible (20k minimum) and one with high output capability so you are less likely to run into overload issues with the 242.
