I have been experimenting with using MPD to play DSD files and ran into an
issue.

 

I am using an Alix 2 board, Voyage 0.9 rc2 and driving an AURALiC Vega DAC.
Every once and a while, when a .dff file reaches the end, MPD hangs.  I can
restart it and it will pick up again playing the same file.  And as long as
the file does not reach the end,  and I can switch to another file with no
problem.  But if I let the file play to the end, MPD hangs.  If I convert
that same file to .dsf, MPD handles it just fine.

 

Is there an issue playing .dff files with MPD?  If so, is anyone working on
this?

 

By the way, I did not notice this testing on a MAC using Audirvana as a
player.  

 

Other things I noticed are that you cannot advance to another location in
the track and DSD128 files are played as DSD64.  I am sure everyone is aware
of these limitations already, but am just pointing them out.
