I don't have and DSD capable devices, or dsd content.

But what do you have for the -D option on the squeezelite page.

You might read through this..alot of information, but it might
help.

Hi
Sorry if the question has already been asked but I just installed the
DSD plugin for PCP (for my Rpi3).
I can now play the files however it seems it it converting them into
lower rate file (PCM 176.4K).
Is it normal I can't get the full sample rate?

When playing pcm file, it works fine, even 192/24, But it wont play DSD
(DSF files)

DSPplayer plugin is there, the extenstion above as well, but no luck.

v1.04 includes the dsdplay program for linux arm, armhf (pcp), i386,
x86_64, freebsd amd64, and windows.

The freebsd dsdplay requires the flac and libsoxr packages from ports. 
All other versions have the libraries built in.

I've been unable to play DSD tracks on my Pi3/IQAudio/pCP/LMS system,
although had previously done so with the same DAC using Rune, so I was
fairly sure it should be possible. Updating manually via the extensions
page as noted above didn't make any difference. I eventually found a
post from Ralphy about updated ARM binaries being available on
Sourceforge. I tried these a few days ago to no avail, but looking today
noticed that there was now an 1.04 update to the LMS plugin. I manually
copied this new version over and success, dsf files are now playing.

Thank you all involved.

I am thinking of upgrading AVR to Denon HEOS device --- how do u achieve
the connection of Denon HEOS to LMS ?? Is it through DLNA ?

I've gone through the same steps. This does work pretty well. 
However, depending on your system you may notice a degradation with
sound quality when the pCP converts to PCM.

I say this because I've been using this method with both a Touch and a
pCP with a HiBerry Digi+ hat. I used the optical port from both devices
to my Denon AVR X3400h. The Denon showed a PCM signal at 88.2kHz.
After using this method for almost 2 years I just recently discovered
that the Denon's built in Heos app can play DSD files natively. It can
access my LMS directly. When I use the Heos method there is a noticeable
improvement with the sound quality (fuller soundstage, clearer details).
My speakers are just KEF LS50 with a KEF subwoofer. Nothing fancy. I was
quite surprised at the improvement. I mistakenly assumed PCM would be
indistinguishable from DSD on such a modest system.

So bottom line, it's worth the effort if you can get native DSD to
play.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer DSD playback

Hello, I try to run LMS on the pcp
when activating the DSDPlayer an error message on the player/DSDPlayer
settings says:
"DSDPlayer does not currently include a version of dsdplay which
supports your server. DSD playback has been disabled for this player."
Is there an updated plugin for pcp?
thanks in advance for the answers!

Hello
I have a quite similar problem and I already post a question and got a
feedback
Look here:
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?108544-pCP-and-DSD-native-support

In other words: if you do not eneable the DSDPLayer plugin, you can not
play DSD files.
If you enable the DSDPlayer plugin, then pCP stream to the DAC the DSD
embedding the DSD stream in PCM
There is a "pacth" to be applied that enable the native streaming of DSD
without ebedding in PCM but anyway it is planned in a future realese of
pCP the native support of DSD

Anyway there is no problem to play DSD over PCM ( DoP )... no
manipulation... it is bitperfect!
The problem is that not always the player\DAC support high bitrate DoP

Hope it can help.

[SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer DSD playback

2018-01-19 Thread aloomens

I have piCorePlayer working fine for most things. I have tried enabling
DSDPlayer, and it seems to try to play DSD files, but no audio. In
looking in the LMS Server Settings, under DSDPlayer, it says: "This
player supports native playback of DSD files. DSD-over-PCM should be
configured on the player configuration interface.". However, I don't
think my DAC supports native playback of DSD files. Is there a way to
manually tell it to transcode to PCM? The DAC is a Schiit Modi USB DAC.
Thanks!
