Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Play native DSD on piCorePlayer 3.5 (Raspberry Pi 3B+) and Chord Mojo DAC = no sound
Hi there. A small update regarding bullet 1. of my last post. On the 3B+ I do run onboard Wifi nowadays. The Wifi part has been seriously improved on the 3B+. If you'd then run a USB DAC, you'll get rid of the shared use of the USB-ethernet interfaces. Which is really nice! Wifi connects straight to the SOC. That should work quite well. Since I'm running mostly i2S Audio HATs, I'm getting rid (turn off) of USB altogether, which saves a serious amount on the 3B+ current consumption. Enjoy. :::' my audioblog - latest series: RaspBerry PI - \"The Audio Engine\" ' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com)::: soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108933 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Play native DSD on piCorePlayer 3.5 (Raspberry Pi 3B+) and Chord Mojo DAC = no sound
Hmmh. Pretty vague description. And if 24/96 generates issues already, you for sure will face lockups on DSD material. I'm running DSD256 without any issues towards an ifi USB DAC. I do also know that several people out there are happy with the Mojo on the PI. That would speak against a generic "all Chords have on issue" on the PI. I'd say it just needs a little more analysis and tinkering (HW and SW) from your side to get going. Some hints: 1. Avoid the onboard-WLAN on the PI 2. Make sure you have a good power supply - especially for the 3B+, which consumes much more power than the 3B. 3. Do not use USB powered DACs on the PI Good luck. :::' my audioblog - latest series: RaspBerry PI - \"The Audio Engine\" ' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com)::: soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108933 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Play native DSD on piCorePlayer 3.5 (Raspberry Pi 3B+) and Chord Mojo DAC = no sound
Just tried the RaspBerry PI 3B+ with piCorePlayer 3.5.0 and my Chord 2qute DAC. I bought this board for a software project, but was excited how it works. It was a complete disaster both with piCorePlayer and the Rasbian Lite. I know chord properly is the most buggy DAC under linux and ARM when it comes to DOP, but this was the biggest joke so far. DOP is falling out every 2-5 seconds and I have some clicks on 24/96khz and higher resolution. I'm back on my Intel i5-7500, which are way better, only very small issues on DOP. My Only an best working ARM board with Chord 2qute is still my nearly 6 years old Wandboard imx6. michaelvv's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59321 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108933 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Yes, that's indeed important, this article sheds some light on the subject: https://positive-feedback.com/Issue78/dsd.htm Burr Brown/Ti are the DAC chips with true DSD, according to that article. The Mojo also has digital volume control, which apparently only can be done on PCM, so yes thats a indicator for a DAC is not true-DSD. A analog VC is a little inconvenient these days, but then one can get off the sofa once in a while :-) And how about this odd DAC: http://www.lampizator.eu/Fikus/DSD_DAC.html SBFan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67994 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108933 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Perfect. Well done. Everything looks OK. DSD64 and DSD128 look as expected. DSD256-DOP is not supported. It requires a bandwidth of 705600Hz. DSD256-native would work on a capable DAC. As I said. DSD native requires just half the bandwitdh. S32_LE just means 32bit transfer. Most USB DACs get zero-padded 32bit data. Alsa thinks your DOP stream is PCM anyhow.

Would you expect a manufacturer to admit not to support native DSD in public when being confronted with it?? I think the manual clearly states what Chord supports . And that's DOP. Which is not a bad thing! I just requires double the bandwidth and additional PCM->DSD processing. I havn't tested it myself though on pcP 3.5. You should be able - even with the DSD binary in place - to just use "-D" without further options. Let us know if it works.

DoP is -native- DSD, in that it is a protocol to transmit pure one bit -native- DSD. -Native- DSD is just the original DSD data completely unchanged. But native (no italics on native) DSD transmission is an ASIO USB protocol where the- native- DSD is transmitted with only the DSD data - no DoP headers, no 0 bit packing. Since only the data is transmitted, it is much more efficient - and it is the only way to transmit DSD512 on USB. Chord DAC's can receive both protocols: native ASIO for -native- DSD and DoP for -native- DSD. To transmit DSD512 you must use the ASIO drivers in native (i.e. not DoP) mode. Yes I know it is confusing." So i guess i have to select "Standard Squeezelite Binary" instead of "Squeezelite with DSD (DoP or native) patches"?
