The same thing happens on a different Wandboard that doesn't have DSDPlayer installed, so it's clearly unrelated. I suspect that my belief it plays native 88.2 and 176.4 is based on past installations of CSOS and SoA. It's very likely Debian that's at fault here.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] DSD = Dirty Satan Diapers
Hi, I don't use the dsd-player Plugin since I have an arm board running lms. I get dsd with the -D flag to my ifi and the raspi resamples the same dsd input to 96000 kHz pcm in my bedroom, thats all I can tell. Since the dac in the NuPro 200 can't do dsd and there is music coming from it, when I choose a dsd track, it must work. The ifi tells me by a cyan lighting led that it has dsd and there is also music coming from it.

LMS can do server side transcoding from DSD to PCM via the DSDPlay plugin. But that plugin normally only works on x86 hardware, with Max2Play being the only ARM implementation I know of that can run it. In my case, my DAC is whatever is built into an Onkyo receiver that's now several years old. It accepts DSD via HDMI coming from an Oppo universal player and I'm pretty sure the container pre-dates DOP. What I don't think a Pi can do (but am wondering I'm wrong) is output DSD via HDMI using the same container (stream format?) as the Oppo or any HDMI-capable SACD player. I think the options are limited to transcoded PCM or DOP, I don't think there's an ability to just pass DSD. But I'm asking because it might be fun to play around with if I'm wrong. With piCorePlayer, I can specify "-e DSD" and, if it's connected to the right server, I'll get PCM at up to 176.4. If it's connected to a server that can't use the DSDPlay plugin, I get nothing. And yes, I do regret hastily tossing out a juvenile thread topic title...was meant to be a placeholder to remind me to put something more rational in there. atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106911 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

[SlimDevices: Unix] DSD = Dirty Satan Diapers
Having recently acquired the appropriate hardware, I'm finally getting around to ripping my SACDs and creating DSF files. Depending on what hardware combinations I'm using, converting DSD to PCM at 44.1 or 88.2 or 176.4 is easy and works fine. There are a couple of quirks I'm curious about, though: 1. Max2Play running on a Pi is able to convert DSD to PCM, but apparently no other ARM LMS version can do that. Did the Max2Play folks figure out a proprietary solution? I didn't have to do anything special to make it work, just added the DSDPlayer plugin and was off and running. Has no one else tried to implement this for other ARM platforms because it's a colossal pain? (I don't have anywhere near sufficient skill to look under the hood and figure this out myself.) 2. Three of my players are Wandboard Quads running Squeezelite under Debian. I've used the -e DSD switch in Squeezelite, but as far as I can tell any server always tries to send unconverted DSD, so it never works. S/PDIF light goes out and at least once I've actually had to reboot to get it working with PCM again. Has anyone else experienced this and/or discovered a workaround? Other Squeezelite parameters (specifically limiting to 96k) are respected, but "No DSD!" isn't. 3. Since the Pi-like computers that are everywhere now generally have HDMI, is there any way to get them to send DSD out via HDMI or is there a hardware/firmware limitation getting in the way? I tried this a while back with a Pi and got silence, though it was an older model. None of this is intended as criticism of the many people who've worked for years to keep the brilliant Squeezebox system alive, I can just get a bit obsessed with this sort of trivia even though I have workarounds. I'm also not one of those people who swears DSD is better then food, sex and sleep combined, I'm just trying to work with the files because they're already there.
