In reply to Allen Scott. The NHK Symphony Orchestra concert in Stereo DSD 11.2 MHz was available on both the US and Japan PrimeSeat sites through the end of August. It is no longer available. The next PrimeSeat DSD 11.2 MHz program will be a live concert from Germany available to listeners in Japan only. The balance of the programs on the English and Japan PrimeSeat site are in DSD 5.6 MHz, DSD 2.8 MHz and 24/96 PCM for now. In my listening I used the ASIO drivers provided by iFi Audio and Merging Technologies with their standard settings. Didn't change the buffer size. The iFi Audio ASIO driver here is version 3.20, set to "Auto" - which allows for a buffer up to 32768 in size. Did not experience any hesitating.

How do you stop the files from hesitating for several seconds throughout the piece being played? I tried changing the buffer size from 512 to 4096, but did not affect anything. Waiting for about 5 min before playing your file seems to help, but didn't stop the hesitation entirely. Also, I don't see 11.2MHz offered on primeseat; highest if 5.6MHz. I also don't see any more programming beyond the three free programs.
