Sounds like progress! I'm using the Audio Widget DIY DAC: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/digital-source/185761-open-source-usb-interface-audio-widget.html .. so not expecting many others to have the same.
The plugin detects it and plays common 16/44 flac files without issue. When I try to play a 24/96 flac file, it either stays silent and later crashes the SB or crashes it immediately (hang and reboot). My DAC works well on a recent desktop linux system but I have to select 32-bit to get it to play 24-bit files - for some reason it doesn't recognise the 24-bit data modes. I have Audacious audio player set to 32-bit, and at that point as far as I can tell from looking at /proc/asound all files are played by the DAC at native bitrate. I've not had a change to poke around on the SB but I'm guessing it tries to send 24-bit files to the USB audio device in a 24-bit mode, whereas for my dac to work well I'd want it to permanently use 32-bit regardless of the file/stream. If my limited understanding is correct, this would still be 'lossless' unlike say sending a 44kHz file as 192kHz. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ crispybrown's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56148 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
