That is why I needed to add the two uhubctl commands to user commands at start up. A lot of the thread on GitHub is taken up with me spending a lot of time thinking the udev rule wasn't working until I finally realised what was going on.

I think lsusb from a command prompt tells you which ports devices are on. My commands work on a Pi3B, other Pis could be different.

For my E30 I used my udev rule on both pCP and Raspbian. They both worked but in a different way. On pCP the DAC would go into standby after playback stopped, while the Raspbian only entered standby when I clicked the player power button in LMS. Probably some setting pCP I suppose. Incidentally a coax connected Touch also doesn't allow an E30 to go into standby. The power saving in Standby is miniscule anyway (0.1W on mine) so apart from being annoying to see the orange display is it worth using standby?

I've had Macrium Reflect (free) installed on my laptop for years and very rarely used it for anything. I tried using it to backup my Pi SD card and it worked perfectly and only backed up the used sectors meaning it can be easily restored to a smaller SD card if necessary.

While looking at memory usage in top and htop I couldn't figure out why they showed different numbers. It turns out top uses MiB (Mebibytes) and htop uses MB (Megabytes). I was totally ignorant of Mebibytes and they seem to be exactly what I thought a Megabyte used to be before drive manufacturers decided to redefine a Megabyte as 1000 kB ( and presumably a kB as 1000 bytes) so their drives appeared to be bigger [emoji2].

No it isn't a Tidal issue just the sad truth that the only versions available on any streaming service tend to be the latest ones. It is hard to tell if this version is a remix or a remaster but either way, changing the overall volume of a track halfway through seems a very odd decision to make. The only Genesis albums available seem to be the latest remixes and they get widely criticized as well.
