Hi! I have a Squeezebox Duet and a LMS running on my Windows 10 PC. I have some 24bit 96 khz FLAC files that I'd dearly love to play. I understand the DAC in the Duet receiver isn't up to it, but I have the optical out from the Duet into a Cambridge Audio DACMagic digital to analogue convertor, and then into my amplifier. When I play the 24bit 96 khz files they are downsampled by the server to 48khz (and I assume still 24 bit). Having read around it a lot - and I do mean a LOT, there is a _convert.conf_ file that I have experimented with to try to resolve the issue. When I managed to create a setting in which SOX 'converted' (since it seemed intent on it) the file from 96 to 96, I did get audio coming out of the DACMagic - but it was playing at half speed. I tried using the 'speed' flag in sox but that resulted in no sound at all.
What I'm hoping for is some sort of solution that will allow my 24bit 96 khz files to reach the Duet receiver unmolested, such that the optical out can feed the signal to a DAC that is up to the job of playing 96khz files. My main theory is that there might be a setting for convert.conf that will allow this, but despite a lot of experiments, I haven't been able to fathom it. Can anyone confirm (or otherwise) that this IS possible, and share the secret runes with me that make it a reality? Thank you in advance!! Regards Rocketman.
