Nego elem....

Inače dobar DAC ostavlja pomalo gorak okus sada.

Driveri koji su dostupni nemaju potreban potpis i ne mogu se trajno instalirati na Win11.

Rješenje je svaki rebut odraditi na poseban način, ali se driveri blokiraju kod sljedećeg gašenja, tj. paljenja.

Drugo rješenje je onesposobljavanje dijela sigurnosnog protokola u windowsu

U prethodnim mailovima me čovjek uvjerava da su driveri s valjanim potpisom, pa ipak ne rade, tj Win ih blokira uz objašnjenje da nisu potpisani.
Onda tvrdi da mkII ni ne treba drivere jer radi s win protokolom, ali ni to nije istina, tj. ne radi sve što treba.
 

Njegova iznervirana reakcija je optužba da tražim od njega nešto besplatno, što je bezobrazan pokušaj diskreditacije nakon sučeljavanja s dokazima o lažima iznesenima u ranijim mailovima usporediv s onima koje susrećemo na vašarima kod pripadnika populacije koji su nekada bili kotlokrpe, a danas skupljaju sekundarne sirovine.

Mailove naravno imam spremljene ako netko baš ne vjeruje u sve ovdje napisano.
 

Nakon maila u kojem me optužuje za ciganjenje, tj. u kojem je projicirao svoj nastup na mene mi je blokirao mail adresu, pa mu ne mogu poslati odgovor u kojem sam elaborirao raniju prepisku u ovom, ali i u drugom razgovoru kad sam tražio informaciju o konkretnom uređaju još prije kupovine uz naglasak da planiram napraviti upgrade na mkIII.

Sada i nisam siguran želim li imati posla sa sakupljanjem perja ili sekundarnih sirovina.
 

Optužuje me da sam kupio stari uređaj - jedinica iz 2015 koja je 2017. u Aqua servisu u Italiji, što je vidljivo iz serijskog broja i njegovog odgovora na mail kojeg je napisao još prije nego što sam kupio DAC, apgrejdana na mkII - dakle legitiman mkII Optologic.

Kao da zaboravlja da se mkII mogao kupiti još početkom 2025. godine i da je već tada znao da prodaje uređaj za kojeg ne nudi support u vidu drivera.

U odgovoru me optužuje da muktarim i želim izbjeći ulaganja što je degutantno jer sam s njim u kontaktu još prije kupovine da mi uz predočenje serijskog broja uređaja kojeg planiram kupiti kaže je li moguć ugrade na mkIII i za koliko novaca, na što sam ja i pristao.

 

Ovo je odgovor kojeg nisam mogao poslati, a u kojem se vidi dovoljno objašnjen tijek razgovora i koja je zapravo poanta:

 

Hello Cristian,

I must respond very directly to your last message.

First, your statement that my goal is “to find a solution that does not involve any financial investment on my part” is unacceptable.

I did not ask Aqua for a free MkIII upgrade. I did not ask Aqua for free hardware. I asked for a functional, current Windows 11 driver for the La Scala MkII USB interface, or for a clear confirmation that Aqua does not provide one.

Trying to present this as if I am asking for something for free is a cheap way to discredit me instead of addressing the technical problem. You should be ashamed of using that kind of argument.

Second, please do not hide now behind the fact that the website may not explicitly state Windows 11 compatibility. That is not what I am referring to.

I am referring to your own email, where YOU wrote:

“In our experience, on our Windows 11 systems, the driver works perfectly.”

You also wrote that Windows 11 includes native support for USB Audio 2.0 and therefore does not strictly require external drivers.

On my system, that is not true in practical use. Without the Aqua driver, the La Scala MkII is not available as a usable Windows system audio output. With the legacy Aqua driver, Windows 11 blocks the WDM audio part under current Driver Policy / Application Control. The only way to make it work was to weaken Windows driver security.

That is not “works perfectly”.

Third, your attempt to reduce this to “a legacy La Scala unit of 2015” is misleading.

The issue is not the production year of my individual DAC. The issue is the La Scala MkII USB driver itself.

To the best of my knowledge, the La Scala MkII remained the current La Scala model until the MkIII transition around 2024/2025. That means a customer could have bought a La Scala MkII from a distributor’s shelf in early 2025, and in 2026 Aqua’s answer to that customer would effectively be: you should have bought something else if you wanted drivers appropriate for the time of purchase.

That is the real issue.

Whether my personal unit was made in 2015 or whether another MkII unit was bought new-old-stock in 2025 does not change the technical fact: the official MkII USB driver is not accepted by current Windows 11 security policy without compromise.

Fourth, the secondary-market argument is irrelevant.

Driver compatibility is not a warranty ownership question. It is a platform support question. The USB interface either has current Windows 11 driver support, or it does not.

Fifth, I find your proposed solution deeply problematic.

You are suggesting that I invest money into a MkIII upgrade in order to get a modern driver architecture. That is exactly what I originally intended to do, and it is one of the reasons I bought this unit. This is also documented in our earlier correspondence, where I clearly explained that I was planning to buy a used MkII unit and then pay Aqua for the MkIII upgrade.

But after this experience, why should I trust that this new driver architecture will not become obsolete again before the MkIV is even released, just as the MkII USB driver appears to have become obsolete before the MkIII transition?

That is not a confidence-inspiring upgrade proposal. That is a warning sign.

The practical situation is now very clear:

Aqua first told me that the driver works perfectly on Windows 11 systems.

Aqua also told me that the driver is correctly signed.

Aqua then pointed me to a website where only older Windows operating systems are listed.

Aqua then stated that my unit is a legacy 2015 unit.

Aqua then suggested a paid MkIII upgrade as the way to obtain a certified, fully optimized Windows 11 driver.

On my actual Windows 11 Pro system, the MkII driver only works as a normal system audio device after weakening Windows security.

So please do not change the meaning of your own previous statements.

In an earlier email you told me that the driver is correctly signed. Later, when the problem became clear, the discussion shifted to the fact that the website does not list Windows 11 compatibility and that a certified, fully optimized Windows 11 driver requires the MkIII upgrade.

Those two positions cannot both be presented as if there is no problem.

If Aqua does not provide a current WHCP-certified Windows 11 driver for the La Scala MkII USB interface, then say so clearly.

Best regards,

Mladen

E to!

Prije kupovine sam saznao SN uređaja i upitao može li biti kandidat za upgrade na mkIII.

Potvrdio je da može, rekao mi oravo godište šasije, godište upgradea na mkII i dao cijenu za kompletan overhaul na mkIII.

Izašlo bi me gotovo 3k€ manje od kupovine novog, a rabljenih ionako još nema.

Sad će dobiti, da prostiš, kurčinu, a ne lovu za upgrade.

Moj upgrade će biti kad naleti Audiomat Maestro 3 Ref kad se negdje pojavi i onda ću mu poslati slike s druge mail adrese.

A potrudit ću se i da se stvar pročuje.

On ima renome da bro i rado odgovara na pitanja korisnika ili potencijalnih kupaca i to mogu potvrditi.

Potvrđujem i da ta susretljivost prestaje kad ga se suoči s lažima koje je napisao samo dva sata ranije.
