Hello,
I am using UPnPBridge (thank you!) with the following Pi setup, and have
a question about sound quality:
- RPi 4 4GB running 'Max2Play' (https://www.max2play.com/)
- No dedicated audio card, just the RPi4 in a case
- Squeezelite is paired with the Pi's onboard audio BCM2835, i.e.
- sysdefault - bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA, Default Audio Device,
CARD=ALSA
- ALSA Parameters: 80:::
- Comand Line Options: -C 5
UPnPBridge is in turn paired with Squeezelite, and the network player is
a Linn Majik DSM (which is itself a very good DAC)
*My old setup* had an RPi3 and an IQaudIO Pi-DAC+, Squeezelite was
paired with it, and UPnPBridge with the Linn Majik DSM.
My questions:
- Am I losing sound quality by not having the IQaudIO Pi-DAC+ in the
chain? I have only FLAC and MP3, LMS is set up to not transcode either
format. This is why I assumed that the Pi is mereley -"transporting"-
the unprocessed audio signals to the Linn DSM, and that a dedicated
audio card makes no difference when using UPnPBridge and an external
DAC. But I am unsure.
- Is there anything in the Squeezelite settings (Selected Device, ALSA
parameters, Command Line Options) that could be changed to ensure the
best possible sound quality (i.e. untouched) output to the Linn DSM?
Many thanks,
JCU
