On the Pi3, the I2S channel is also wired to the Bluetooth chip as well
as the GPIO header. This was causing a problem with HAT boards that run
as bit/frame master, (when Pi3 was initially released), of which the
DIgi is one. Greg will have to tell you how to do this, because I forget
where the boot partition is on pico, but the long and short of it is
that you should try adding, "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt" to
/boot/config.txt, which will resolve at the expense of losing Bluetooth
functionality until piCore updates to a later kernel revision, if the
issue is what I think it is. Might be wrong, but it is something for you
to try.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 2.00

2016-05-03 Thread fsger

I have been using the piCorePlayer with a RPI3 and an Audiophonics DAC
for the RPI and was getting a very good sound - both using wired and
wifi.  The wifi has been very good and rock steady.  

I thought I would try output via SPDIF to my Beresford Caiman II DAC so
I bought a hifiberry Digi+ card which is supposed to work with the RPI3.
After installing the card, I selected the digi+ output in Squeezelite
and it rebooted and says it is running.  All settings are the default
ones.  However, there is no sound from the Caiman II DAC neither via
optical nor via the coaxial outputs.   This is a puzzle because the
Caiman quite happily works with coax/optical from my SBT and USB from
the RPI3 and an RPI B, and I have read on AoS that people have used the
Digi+ with the Caiman with no problems.  

Is there a known issue with piCorePlayer and the digi+ with the RPI3?

Thanks for the reply, so if I can get hold of a driver, I think I should
be OK. 

Anyway, at the very least it will just work with the HiFiBerry Digi
driver, but without clock selection.

I doubt very much I'll notice any difference, but why not give it a try!

If these guys submit their driver code via a pull request to RPi github
and it is accepted, then piCore will support it at some point, "out of
the box", as will the other distros, without applying 3rd party patches.
The WM8804 (Digi) as been supported for some time, so really the only
thing they are really adding, (on the software side of things), is the
clock selection, I suspect by toggling a GPIO low/high..

There's an interesting 'new SPDIF card'
(http://www.pi2design.com/coming-soon.html) for the Pi in the works. 

It's similar to the HiFiBerry Digi+ with the addition of clocks for
44.1k and 48k. There is a brief discussion in this post 'Raspberry Pi
I2S to SPDIF Hat'
(http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/raspberry-pi-i2s-to-spdif-hat.1990/page-3#post-50734).

Would support for the additional clock frequencies be easy to add to
piCorePlayer? 

They are GPIO selectable, but I don't understand how this would work
with the Squeezelite/audio driver/OS stack. Would the driver select the
GPIO based on the incoming sample rate? Maybe a question for the
manufacturer, but I'm sure someone here would know the ins and outs.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 2.00

2016-05-03 Thread soundcheck

As a matter of fact the BBB comes with a  24.576MHz  clock which allows
proper integer division on 48x samplerates.
And it also allows up to 384kbit samplerates! There's nothing to
believe. That's a fact. And it's better than what the PI offers.
The PI comes with 19.2Mhz, from an audio perspective not the preferred
choice. And it can't do more than 192kHz.
@HifiDuino you'll find all info you need.

The only way to get around these limitations on the PI with HAT dacs is
using the HifiBerry DAC+ Pro DAC. 
That's even better than the BBB default setup, since it also supports
the 44.1x family with a dedicated high quality clock.

Beside that I created for testing purposes a simple patch for the 4.4.x
kernel that let me run 384kHz on the PI2. 
I posted that one in the squeezelite thread.
And it works - a least at least when using sox as player. I havn't
managed yet to get my squeezelite working with 384kHz though.
Even that advantage of the BBB would be gone. 

Bottom line.
The rumor that the BBB has the edge over RPI with a master clock input,
thus can be slaved to an external  clock master, 
and also comes with audio compatible clock has been proved by now not to
be the full story. 
The HifiBerry DAC+ Pro very well feeds its clocks back to the PI and
covers all samplerate families with quality clocks.
But that's does not apply to all the other I2S PI dacs I'm aware of!
They have to live with that compromised clocking scheme, 
unless they'd have access to that "Integer-patch". At least for 48kHz
and 96kHz the situation would be improved. 
I'd assume and hope that we'll see more DACs with clocking scheme  like
the HifiBerry DAC+ Pro popping up sooner or later this year.

###

BTW. The newer 4.1.y and 4.4.y kernel versions also  include the 100%
volume control patch for the PCM51x DACs. 
Basically that setting of 81%=0db and above that facing distortions,
becomes obsolete.


#

I2S-mmap

I think instead of waiting for backports that arrive -- who knows.
I consider it a no-brainer to add just that line  "dtoverlay=i2s-mmap"
to config.txt and add a 1 to the squeezelite buffer settings "80:4::1".
The overlay is available. We should eat what's on the table.



Enjoy.
