The audio on a HDMI connection is digital, so it will use the DAC in the
receiver.

[slim] HDMI audio out on SqueezePlug -- analog or digital?

2013-07-10 Thread the nightfly

If I hook a SqueezePlug device up to the HDMI input on my A/V receiver,
is it going to send a PCM bitstream to the receiver's built-in DAC, or
is it going to send analog audio processed by the Pi's own DAC?  If the
latter, is there any way to switch it to PCM digital, or am I going to
have to give up on HDMI entirely, and spring for a USB to SPDIF
interface to get a digital bitstream to the receiver?

Hi if you try the piCorePlayer on your raspberry I  have seen reports
that you will be able to get 96/24 audio out of the HDMI (192/24
produces noise)
