Initially, I neglected to select the sourceforge repository instead of the default pcp one. I was also looking for an actual install action in addition to just the download. Once I did a hard power off reboot, the extension became active and the display is recognized and can be adjusted. Nice! Hopefully, this gets into the next pcp release.

And the SoX transcoding library oms uses is known to be good , it should kot assert any particular signature . Unless you want to (its endlessly tweakable ) . Of topic if want to experiment with your DAG and rpi3 with a digital output board can be fun. You can then set squeezelite to output the maximum rate that the dac can handle for any file and say set the volume -3dB while doing it if you for example suspects that your dac does not handle intersample overs properly or use esoteric filters like apodising. Agread that could lead to endless tweaking for nothing . But a Pi can do that if your inclined to try such things.

SB3 supports 24/48 kHz . But if you sync the SB3 in another place to your rpi3 it to will ouåuit 24748 anyway in those cases . In most cases music is 16/44.1 anyway as most records are of this quality My personal view better than redbook is debatable i was a stern believer in hirez for a decade . but the actual case is that CD is good enough for human hearing . Note that the actual master used for hirez release could be very different so it apples an oranges no guarantee which actually better.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] radios disappeared
I don't know if you are using piCorePlayer or not for this. But I have seen something similar if LMS starts before an internet connection has been established during the boot process. In pCP we should have a script in place that will postpone the start of LMS until it is connected to the Internet. You could try to restart LMS - then I think it will find the radio stations. piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.
