This is the problem you are facing: no matter what tool you try to use,
real SB could not play 'native' DSD, you should disable that choice,
then use whatever you like to inform LMS what transcoding you like to
apply.; 2018-07-02, 11:39 by marcoc1712

Dear all,

I'm quite new in trying to get LMS streaming dsf from my squeezebox touch
to my dac (topping E30). I've read a lot in this forum and it seems it
doesn't work. The quote above is the latest I could find on the subject. 

Am I correct? Or did I miss any posts?

Thanks for your reply.

Edvard

Should this be working on FreeBSD (FreeNAS) also?

I get the following message on my server 'DSDPlayer does not currently
include a version of dsdplay which supports your server. DSD playback
has been disabled for this player.'

I was going through my plugins and noticed I have 'DSDPlayer (v1.0)' and
'PlayDSD (v0.5)' selected, do I need both as they both show up in the
player settings for each player.

If not, which is the best one to use?

Im running LMS v7.9.1

The ARM versions of Synology in this respect have a  similar
architecture as the Pi. I actually did the manual install of Ralphys
armhf binaries and it worked on my Synology DS216Play which is ARMv7l
codename Monaco (whereas the one from settings plugin did not). 
No guarantee, but it could be worth a try. You could also try using the
C3PO plugin instead.
On the other hand, playing DSD64 natively isn't so bad after
all..[emoji12]

Yes, there is, in my previous post, I sad that I have installed the
latest LMS server on my NAS, i have also installed dsdplayer form the
repo 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsupdate/files/DSDplayer_x86_64/repo_sf.xml
, (now, version 1.02) via enable add-on in the LMS settings page. Still
I can only choose between "Native" or "Disabled in Advanced/File Tipes.

In his post, ralphy points out to some binaries that should be installed
in the Bin folder of the DSDPlayer add-on, I don't think those binaries
work with LMS installed on my Syno

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2018-12-10 Thread Celeritas


I have the same problem as below. PiCorePlayer 4.1.0 is installed and
DSDPlayer plugin v1.0 is installed in LMS 7.9.2 - 1543258616.
Squeezelite is turned off on the Raspberry Pi 3B+ that is used as an LMS
server. I can stream native DSD to a Squeezelite player that is attached
to a USB DAC that supports it. I cannot transcode DSD to any other
players. Like hellrider77, transcoding options are greyed out for DSF ->
FLAC or DFF -> FLAC under File Types. In the player menu, I get
"DSDPlayer will transcode DSD to PCM for this player. Use the settings
below to tune resampling parameters," but there are no options
displayed.

Is this a Linux problem? It works just fine on my Windows 10 PC if I run
the server there.

Well, I got past all the build issues, even made my own Makefile with

Thanks for the help... I'd like to play DSF files without having to wrap
them in a FLAC container. Looks like I'm going to build a Raspberry Pi

If from inside Daphile, you should before DISABLE "Native" in file
types.

That's correct, you shouuld DISABLE native and enable DxF/FLAC (for real
SB) using DSDPLAY or C-3PO, This is automatic in LMS, probably Daphlile
is making something weird here.

The answer is YES, if using LMS and DSDPLAY, C-3PO or (rigth) 
custom-convert,conf commands. 

It should be YES  also using Daphile, BUT not with native AND real
squeezebox. 

This is the problem you are facing: no matter what tool you try to use,
real SB could not play 'native' DSD, you should disable that choice,
then use whatever you like to inform LMS what transcoding you like to
apply.

Is that Daphile? 

Daphile has it's own transcoding engine, but wat looks strange to me is
"DFF/DSF Native"if  uisng a real SB, it should go the route FLAC
dsdplay, instead.

With DSD_PLAY plugin  installed it should work, converting everything to
PCM. Probably you should check FYLE TYPE conversion settings for DFS.
C-3PO plugin could do the same plus some additional processing.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2018-04-12 Thread aslg

Jeeho, at SOtM fixed the problem in record time in an alpha version of
the firmware I just finished testing!

Now I can play DSF files using DoP or Native DSD mode with the Logitech
Media Server connected to the sMS-200ultra's Squeezelite player.

I tested:
1) DSF x64 and x128 DoP using the DSDPlayer plugin
2) DSF x64, x128 and x256 Native

all working very well with my Brooklyn DAC+!

Hi Marcoc1712,
I reset the sMS-200ultra's config to the default settings:

and now I get the same

Seems Your squeezelite does not accept native DSD in input, that's is
what I wanted to see. Check on the player, then, when solved, you could
disable DSDPlayer at all.

I see,  it seems it's the same version running in picoplayer.  If so, 
the only think you need is activate DSDPLAY plugin and let it send
native (as opposed to DOP or PCM) DSD formats to squeezelite.

Hi Marcoc1712,
thanks for the prompt reply.

I tried two versions of LMS:
- LMS 7.9.1-166 on a x86 Synology NAS
- LMS 7.9.1-1522249619 on Windows 8

In both servers the DSF file type config is the same. This is an excerpt
from Settings -> Advanced -> File Types 


Code:


  File FormatStream FormatDecoder
  DSFDSF  Native
  



I do not have ssh access to the sMS-200ultra, so I cannot run the
squeezelite -? command. All I can see in the sMS-200ultra UI is that the
squeezelite version is 1.8.7. SOTM claims that Native DSD mode is
supported.
The error I posted in the previous post (Slim::Player::Song::open (409)
Error: Couldn't create command line for dsf playback for ...) shows up
in the LMS error log so I thought the problem is not with squeezelite
but I could be wrong. 

I just wanted to verify everything is OK with my LMS setup before
engaging with SOTM...

Thanks!

What version of LMS are you using, what Native (Decoder) stand for?

What kind of squeezelite is instaleld on sMS-200ultra? AFAIK  only
Daphile, squeezelite-R2 and picoPlayer could play native DSD, I'm the
one after Squeezelite-R2 and I'm not aware they are using it in this
commercial product.

could you post the result of squeezelite -? on sMS-200ultra, please?

BTW, I think they should give you support for that, we all work for free
here when they sell theyr product at 1400 Euro...

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2018-02-28 Thread Blackfiction

Hi All,

can someone help me out with DSD?
I have an album added (dsf) in LMS 7.9.1. I have setup DSDPlayer to use
Enable DSD-over-PCM. I have set the volume level at fixed 100%. The
music plays on my Benchmark DAC2HGC (connected via spdif, edo enabled).

But I think that the files are converted to PCM as the front lights of
the DAC show 24bit, 4x 44khz. For DSD both the 2x and 4x lights should
be on. Am I doing anything wrong?

Any help appreciated!

For DSD is only working if:
- volume is set to 100%
- replay gain correction is set to off
- Song info plugin is installed

Hi Guys,
I'm a bit lost since I reinstalled my LMS server yesterday, DSD files
don't work anymore.
I did reinstall the DSDPlayer plugin and configure it for my player
(picoreplayer)
I had done a reinstall recently also, still with the Synology package,
and didn't have any issues
LMS is running on a Synology 415+
What's the latest on getting that to work?
Is the DSDPlayer in the plugin list the correct one or should I look for
an alternate repo where another plugin is available?
That was the case in the past with pinkdot's repo...
I find so many old threads about this I'm confused as per what to do

You will probably need a custom compiled sox for this platform. Go to
AudioDigitale.eu they explain how to do it. Other alternative is to get
an RPi, install LMS on the Pi and use the NAS only for the storage of
the files.

It absolutely stays DSD which you notice when further processing. I used
the same tool, no worries, no difference realized at all.

Hi Gerhard and Guys,

Quick update to you. Indeed there is the meta data problem with dff
files. I contacted SOtM engineer and we reintalled the logitech media
server. Then dsf files are working properly while dff files not. I used
foobar to delete previous tag information I added in the dff. Still
couldn't work. 

So I used dff2dsf developed by signalyst.com. Right now, all the dsd
files are fine. It claims that dff2dsf only adds header info without
converting to PCM. Is it really the case?

Thank you very much for your suggestions and help.

Best,
Jianan

Hi Ge Ba,

Thank you for your reply. Quick update, just ask distributor in HK
(where I live and bought the sms) to help and it seem that the sms 200
itself cannot play dff files smoothly (weired). Hence they're now

IMHO could be an issue with convert.conf or custom-convert.conf. Did you
maybe install a Plugin in LMS or fiddle with advanced settings File
Types in LMS three days ago?

If not, then why don’t you have this fixed by the SOTM support. If still

Oh YES this does work on ARM, in my case armv7l with DS2016play's
STiH412 processor. 
I'm aware this is not ideal because this thing has a built-in
floating-point unit which I'm probably not using but this is OK for now
:)
I'm using the static library armv5el binary.

Thank you Ralphy

PS: I didn't find documentation for the Settings of the DSDPlayer Plugin
... any hints?

Hello Simone, 

don't worry about the language, everything is totally understandable,
the bigger problem is that my knowledge in Linux development is very
limited.

Nevertheless, finally, after I downloaded the sources for libmad library
and compiled it, I could successfully compile sox itself, on my ARMv7
NAS (Synology DS2016play), as you suggested. :)

My self-compiled sox is working fine now for playing FLAC or MP3, but
yet it doesn't transcode any of my DSD files. I'm using C-3PO to control
the playback. I've had results varying with settings, but all I get is
seeing the play time progressing or hearing only noise.

This is what ldd says:


Code:

root@DiskStation:/opt/bin# ldd sox
  libsox.so.3 => /opt/lib/libsox.so.3 (0x76ddb000)
  libpng16.so.16 => /opt/lib/libpng16.so.16 (0x76da3000)
  libz.so.1 => /opt/lib/libz.so.1 (0x76d81000)
  libFLAC.so.8 => /opt/lib/libFLAC.so.8 (0x76d1a000)
  libmad.so.0 => /opt/lib/libmad.so.0 (0x76cf5000)
  libmp3lame.so.0 => /opt/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 (0x76c77000)
  libm.so.6 => /opt/lib/libm.so.6 (0x76bc3000)
  libssp.so.0 => /opt/lib/libssp.so.0 (0x76bb1000)
  libgcc_s.so.1 => /opt/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x76b96000)
  libc.so.6 => /opt/lib/libc.so.6 (0x76a5a000)
  /opt/lib/ld-linux.so.3 (0x76ed9000)



This is what C-3PO tells me for a .dsf file to be transferred to FLAC:
Trasformed by C-3PO in:

"/opt/bin/sox" -q -t dsf
"/volume1/music/HOME/DSD/CHANNELCLASSICS/11/stereo/19503/04_19503_2ch.dsf"
-t flac -C 5 -b 24 --buffer 8192 - lowpass -1 22000 gain -h rate -m -I
-b 90.7 -f 44100

When I execute sox with these parameters in SSH, I only get weird
characters instead of meaningful error message. 
I will head over to Audiodigitale.eu and try to find out more on the
configuration. 

Do you haven an idea what could be the cause? How could I activate the
Log file? :confused:

I'm currently looking into it and will get back to you asap. 
Maybe two questions of more general interest for this audience; what
defines if we need to compile your modified SOX ourselves or should be
able to use the provided versions? 
Which file/s exactly do we need to replace, I replaced the sox
executable.. after this the NAS refused to play any music file at all..
should I look for sox.so instead?
Sorry if these questions are dumb, I'm still a beginner when it comes to
Linux underlyings. 

thanks a lot, Gerhard

Marco, I am also trying to replace SOX, but the version
sox-dsd-linux-gnu-amd64 from your site does not run on my NAS (Synology
DS2016play, ARMv7).

Does it mean I need to compile it myself on the NAS? If so, do I need to

For what I remember and solved the executable location problem, you
could use dsdPlay and let squeezelite convert DSD to PCM (should work
just adding -c pcm,flac to your squeezelite command line, so the player
wiill become NOT dsd capable), but sure is not the best way to go.

You better convert DSD to PCM (or flac) server side and let the player
just receive (and convert to pcm if flac) then play to your DAC.

To do that, first you need a modified version of SOX (see
www.audiodigitale.eu) then  add a line ( dsf flc * *) to
custom-convert.conf or use C-3PO plugin, that should made things
esaier.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2017-09-20 Thread eduardoo

I have LMS 7.9.0 installed on a QNAP 469L NAS with DSDPlayer plugin
enabled.  The player is a SOTM SMS-100 running squeezelite.   The
SMS-100 itself supports DSD throughput at its USB out, but my DAC
doesn't.  Therefore, I would like it to be ultimately transcoding to,
say, 176kHz.  

On the LMS settings' "Player" tab, it says, "This player supports native
playback of DSD files. DSD-over-PCM should be configured on the player
configuration interface"  If I play a DSF file, it appears to be
playing, but as expected, there is no sound coming out of the system
because the DAC doesn't support DSD.  If I set the file type preference
of DSF to DSF: disabled (native originally), FLAC: dsdPlay, it would
fail to even start track, and the SSOTS server log says, 
"sh:
/opt/ssods4/var/home/SqueezeboxServer/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/DSDPlayer/Bin/i386-linux/dsdplay:
No such file or directory".  I looked into the NAS's directory and see
that there is 
/opt/ssods4/var/home/SqueezeboxServer/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/DSDPlayer/Bin/dsdplay
but not one with dsdplay as a subdirectory of i386-linux.  Out of
curiosity, I tried creating a i386-linux folder and copied the dsdplay
folder into it.  After restarting server, the file type setting of DSF
would only have the DSF native/disabled setting and the flac setting
would be greyed out.  So, this is probably not the cure.

My question is, should what I intend to do (transcoding dsf to flac) be
an available option?  Is my setting at fault, or is there something else
I should look into (The QNAP firmwares this year broke support for LMS,
and I had to made some minor mods to make it run as usual. So, I don't
know if the DSDplayer plugin support is screwed up by the firmware
upgrade as well) 

Thanks.

Well I seem to h ave accidentally solved the issues I was having.  It
had been my intention to upgrade my DAC, so I purchased a SMSL M8A. 
When I connected it, my attempts to play DSD, both natively and via DoP,
met with failure but the nature of the failure was the clue.  The DAC
kept switching between PCM and DSD and operating in 'bursts'.  So

Switching from wireless to a wired connection fixed it completely.  All
is now working as it should.

DSD 'native' wont play via SPDIF.  I don't think DSD over PCM is
supported on most DSD DACs via the SPDIF inputs. If they are, they are
limited to 24/192 which means you can only play DSD1x even if the DAC
supports DSD2x or higher.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2017-06-20 Thread pieronip

Hi

Please forgive a very n00b question.

I am trying out DSD on LMS 7.9 and SB Touch with an external DacMagic
DAC (quite elderly and pre-DSD).

I am able to get my DSF files playing without a problem (EDO, USB) but I
don't understand what is happening 'under the covers'.  The state of the
'Enable DSD-over PCM' option makes no difference to the sound output and
the DAC shows 44.1 sample rate at all times.  Is this correct?  Will a
great deal of resolution not be lost at this low sample rate?

If you can aid my understanding or point me to a learning resource, I
would be very grateful.

TIA

Yes you should rename ffmpeg-static to ffmpeg if the ffmpeg binary
doesn't run.

AFAIK sox is not used in ffmpeg.

I have uploaded a newer armel ffmpeg 3.2.4 build to
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lmsclients/files/utility/

The ffmpeg-static binary has no external library dependencies and the
ffmpeg binary no longer needs the libasound sharied library.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2017-05-02 Thread Peter Galbavy

As a non-DSD aside, I do find that FLAC 5.1 files play fine in stereo in
LMS - and they sounds fine as stereo. There must be a mapping as part of
the standard.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2017-04-24 Thread Mnyb

Yes LMS doe not handle multichannel .

And the Touch does not have hdmi , i know that spdiff and toslink only
Handles ac3 or dts coded multichannel not discrete multichannel, hdmi
does that . Don't know if any multichannel USB soundcard could be used (
in theory ).

Squeezplay ( the native player in Touch ) and Squeezelite is also 2
channel .

So LMS is 2 channel probaly not trivial to fix , A new multichannel
software player for LMS must be developed that's not trivial either  ?
Possibly for use on a raspberry pi who has hdmi .

Original squeezebox hardware is probably never going to work .

If it where easy someone would have done it already. I would love such a
feature for my DVDA's

2017-04-24 Thread Peter Galbavy

Well, after much scratching of head and finding out which SACDs were 2
channel only, I see that LMS + DSDplay ignore or otherwise don't scan
non 2.0 DSF files, so the above question about DoP is not important.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2017-04-22 Thread Peter Galbavy

This is a very long thread and while I have scanned it I may missed the
answer, sorry.

I now have SACD rip capabilities (yay) and want to see if it's feasible
to play multichannel .dsf files via my Touch into my Denon amp. For this
I think I need DoP, but it's not an option in my LMS settings (DSDPlay
just says "DSDPlayer will transcode DSD to PCM for this player. Use the
settings below to tune resampling parameters.")

Is this not possible on SPDI/F linked players or just the normal / real
Squeezeboxes?

Ta.

I'm just working on that matter this days.

DFF does not support tags (or better, as is per was, you could attach
some Idv3 tag someway, but is obscure and not commonly supported), cue
files maybe could supports dff, I don't know, I should try...

DFF (native) playback is supported in LMS, DOP or converted to PCM via
DSDPLAY or Squeezelite is not so clear to me, but i suppose is not (I'll
have a try shortly).

Reason why I'm not so interested in DFF or others is that I'm going to
use SOX server side to transcode to dsf or pcm from any format,
eventually resampling, this way, for instance, dff is converted on the
fly to dsf (maybe it could be better the inverse, but too much work to
do on squeezelite).

DSD (dsf or dff) id always converted to DOP or PCM in squeezelite,
depending on DAC capabilities and settings, there is no 'native' suport
even in windows with ASIO. 

Daphile has some pathces that allows you to output DSD over PCM in
Linux, but using non DOP format, more like as ASIO does in windows
(https://github.com/lintweaker/xmos-native-dsd). I'm testing those
patches over "standard" squeezelite to be used with LMS, then I'll try
to allow 'native' palyback with AISO drivers at least in Windows.

The benefit of 'natives' formats over PCM is reduced size (and band) by
at least 33% (dop is 8 bit marker 16 bit data, 'natives' are no marker
and up to 32 bit data).

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2017-02-10 Thread Michael Herger

So I wonder if it is possible to update LMS for "Sparc" compilation to
version including Audio::Scan 0.95.


As somebody already mentioned the Sparc based ReadyNAS just isn't up to 
the task of running LMS any more. We have hacks in the code just to make 
it run acceptable. But don't expect it to do any advanced stuff like 
transcoding. You might be better off getting a Raspberry Pi do run LMS 
(leaving the music files themselves on the NAS).

I have very few DSf files that's my use of this plugin . You seems to

Is DFF files supported ? Or are we advised to convert those to DSF .

Audioscan 0.95 will find and show dsf files.
DSDPLAY will play dsf file 'native' DOP or converting to PCM, depending
on the player capabilties and your settings.
If you have squeezelite (normal versione) as player, you could just play
DOP ( -D option) or convert to PCM. Playing 'native' DSD is possible
using Daphile.

If you really have sparc cpu aka very old Ready NAS DUO this wont help
audiscan 0.95 helps the scanner identify DSD files etc .

But the DSD plugin may want to run transcoders to some players or
package the files as DoP for some players ? will this work on sparc cpu
I dont think soo.
Can you run normal samplerate conversion like 24/192 to 24/48 for an
older player ? are SoX included and running ?

Lately I started my adventure with DFF and DSF files.
I added DSD plugin to foobar on my laptop and I can run DFF/DSF in this
app - but it is no quality, just useful for files management.
So now it is time for my music systems.

I updated LMS to latest build on my ReadyNas Duo v1 and Touch to 7.8

I see DSD plugin installed but DSD player configuration page in LMS has
only notification:
"DSDPlayer will transcode DSD to PCM for this player. Use the settings
below to tune resampling parameters."

and no option to configure. After study this thread I guess the reason
is Audio::Scan version - still 0.93 on my Duo:

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2016-11-28 Thread totoroBounced

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem and I'm not sure where it is. :) 

I am running the Xubuntu 16.04 LTS repo Squeezelite hooked up to a Mytek
Brooklyn.  It usually works pretty well, although I occasionally have to
restart Squeezelite since I sometimes use the PC for TV/Netflix, etc.
and want to use the Brooklyn to listen. 

Anyway, normal DSD files (2.8 MHz) play as expected. I recently was
gifted (by the licence owner!) a quad rate album. 11 Mhz DSD.
Squeezelite says the DAC can't accept it and converts to 384k PCM. 

There's not much to report in the log file except that it says the DAC
reports it won't support the bit rate:

[16:46:56.311900] dsd_decode:527 setting track_start
[16:46:56.311900] dsd_decode:533 DOP sample rate too high for device -
converting to PCM
[16:46:56.311906] dsd_decode:543 DSD to PCM output


I tried updating the log settings to DEBUG but didn't get any more
information.  My config file is pretty basic, no hard coded sample
rates. Normally there is no conversion. It plays what i send it. 

Is this by any chance a known SL issue, or do you think I need to follow
up with Mytek?? 

Thanks for any advice!

Erik

Try adding the Squeezelite parameter "-e dsd". That tells LMS the player
won't accept DSD and will in turn activate transcoding to PCM.

I'm not sure what generation my Pi is (they accumulate like crazy and I
can't keep them straight!) but I've found that in my setup it will
usually happily transcode to send to another player but doesn't have
enough power to transcode while also being the player.  The one time I
tried to transcode for itself the music kept cutting out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2016-10-23 Thread jacobacci

Hi all
I have successfully streamed DSD files from my NAS to several DSD
capable DACs, so the setup of LMS on my NAS seems to be ok.
I am now trying to get my Raspberry Pi2 with Hifiberry DAC+ to work with
DSD files, hoping to convert them to PCM in LMS on the NAS.

However, for the Raspberry Pi2, I do not get the usual DoP yes / no
checkbox in the DSDPlayer configuration box, but a message "This player
supports native playback of DSD files. DSD-over-PCM should be configured
on the player configuration interface."

21344

Can anyone give me a hint, how to configure the RP2 / DAC+ / LMS combo
to play DSD files (converting them to PCM on the fly).
Thanks a lot

To update:

I tried playing one of the test files (a DSD64 DSF file), from my
Android phone, using HibyMusic.  The file played correctly, over USB,
using Native, DoP and PCM modes. Only the very faintest interruption was
heard when switching modes on-the-fly.

Since the last post, I have also tried introducing a USB 2.0 hub between
the touch and the DAC. This makes no difference.

I have managed to get hold of the 2.6.26 kernel source, including
Triodes patches (not sure which ones), so can rebuild the kernel with
some tweaks if that might help.

BR.

Hi again,

I have contacted the chip manufacturer, so will see what responses are
given.

If it turns out that I need to backport more recent version of the
snd_usb module on my touch, does anyone know where I can find a kernel
config and possible patches for the 2.6.26 kernel that I have installed
(I'm currently using Triode's EDO and USB kernels, which does complicate
matters as I don't think is config and patches are available).  Does
anyone here have any experience of compiling kernels for the Touch?
If,so, I'd be very glad of any advice.

BR.

Thanks for that. I'm in a Linux-only house but have tried a number of
dsd files, including some samples, at different rates, from
http://www.2l.no/hires/index.html.

Have also tried converting dff files (which don't produce sound) to
flac files (at various sample rates), which do up to the supported rate.
DST to DSD conversion (uncompressing) deson't help either.  As the
player itself  chews through the files and "plays" them (with no sound

some changes have been made to the snd_usb module since Linux 2.6.22 /
2.6.26, so was wondering if there's any way to rebuild the module with
some backported patches and load it on the touch.

On the other hand it may be as simple as me misunderstanding how to
make the settings (filetypes and player) work.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2016-09-30 Thread Learnincurve

I bought a 'S.M.S.L Sanskrit Pro'
(http://www.qobuz.com/gb-en/info/hi-res-guide/s-m-s-l-sanskrit-pro-up-to-24-bit177669)
and have it connected over USB. 192KHz flac files play fine. 

DSD I haven't managed to make work at all yet. The DAC is based on the
CMEDIA CM6632A chip, which should handle DSD up to 5.6MHz.

I have tried both DFF DFF  disabled
FLAC dsdplay

DSF DSF  disabled
FLAC dsdplay



as well as   DFF DFF  native
FLAC dsdplay

DSF DSF  native
FLAC dsdplay

Both of which "play" the file, but no sound is produced.

At the player settings page, I have tried both checking and unchecking
DSD over PCM and setting 
and removing:

Soxr Quality: High quality
  
Soxr Filter: Linear Phase
  
Soxr Steep Filter: Soxr Steep Filter

None of which seems to make any difference.



Disabling DFF/DSF: Flac on the file types causes the file not to play at
all.


I have Player volume fixed at 100% and am using EDO (with the standard
EDO kernel) and audio output set to USB Sanskrit pro.

I have tried the three available USB DAC kernels (EDO Release kernel and
TEST kernels #11 and #12), none of which make much difference.

Does anyone know of a different kernel or patch that would allow DSD to
work into the CMEDIA CM6632A ?

Many thanks.

Hi Ronnie and thanks for your answer.

I was looking at the ifi, both Nano and Micro (I see that the micro
supports up to DSD512, but that's probably overkill).

As I really don't have much money to spend right now I was also
wondering about one of 'these'
(http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Douk-Audio-DSD1796-XMOS-U8-USB-DAC-384K-32bit-Audio-Decoder-Hi-Fi-Headphone-Amp/272135517039?_trksid=p5411.c100167.m2940&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140131123730%26meid%3D71c5c86901e7495291cacc2b90679d6e%26pid%3D100167%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26sd%3D131488385472)
(or similar) from ebay, but being Chinese, I worry about the quality.


Can anyone give any advice regarding the Soxr settings?
Cheers!

Hi BR,

Edo on the SBT gives 24/192 max on both spdif outputs.

Looking at the spec for your receiver I can see no USB input which would
be needed for DSD in direct form.

One of the cheapest DSD dacs that work with the SBT usb output is 'this
' (http://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/nano-idsd/)

There are lots more if you google.

Ignore the people who tell you not to bother as you are only buying
padded out files :p;):D.

Enjoy your music.

If you are in the UK pm me and I can post a couple for you to try (if
your not in a hurry :) ).

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] LMS 7.9 and DSD

2016-09-15 Thread Learnincurve

Hi all,

My LMS 7.9 and touch (using latest firmware) with EDO play through
COAX into a Cambridge audio Azur 640 surround receiver, that I use for
both music (from the touch) and multimedia.

Although I am quite pleased with the sound, the coaxial input is limited
to 24 bit / 96KHz.

I am now starting to collect some Hi Rez material, including dsf/dff
files and have installed the dsd player plugin v.1.0

The touch seems to play the tracks quite happily

I have tried various settings on the file type and squeezebox DSDPlayer
configuration interfaces. Most result in nasty white noise from the
"dac"/decoder, while disabling DFF  | DFF and DSF | DSF and choosing
dsdplay for DFF | FLAC and DSF | FLAC did give me (very muffled and
faint) sound out.


DOP on or off gives no noticable difference.


So I am left with three options:

1. (Ideally) Buy a DSD-capable DAC and play back through that. This
would have to be extreme budget equipment at present, but any
suggestions gratefully received.
2. Can I resample the output from the touch, using the Soxr settings on
the DSDPlayer config for the touch?  I can't find any description of
settings. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or suggest
settings I could try?
3. (least favourite solution). I ca down-sample the source files using
dsf2flac, but would prefer not to do this, in case I go for option 1
later.

I'd be really glad of any help or advice that anyone can give.

BR.
