I found an Intel Core 2 and compatible motherboard with 2GB RAM in the boneyard. I loaded Vortexbox 2.2 on a 64 GB SSD and installed Squeezelite 0.9beta11 Linux ALSA Intel 32 bit. Last night I connected this via i2s to my custom built TPA Buffalo Sabre DAC and streamed 24/352.4. I also tried lower sample rate content and confirmed all sample rates were changing as expected from command line. I had to add -b 256:256 to avoid drop outs. Any recommendations on what the value should be so it loads all the content into RAM? I can increase the ram to 4GB if needed.
This is my start command from the Squeezelite configuration file: OPTIONS="-b 256:256 -r 384000 -n SqueezeLiteVB -o hw:1,0 -f /var/log/squeezelite/squeezelite.log" Now for some DSD fun:) LMS does not support DSD, but you can trick it into submission. I downloaded some DSD files from 2L site and encoded them into DoP with an APP from the XMOS website. This encapsulates the encoded DSD2DoP file in a WAV container that LMS can play. My USB interface then receives the DoP encoded WAV file and decodes it back to bit perfect native DSD for playback on my DAC. On first try no sound. My bad...I had the volume at 50% and it needs to be 100% so I raised it and music played. As a side note...this confirms that 100% volume is bit perfect or this scheme would not have worked. BTW DSD playback is incredible, but what is missing for this to be really useful is that LMS support DSD...any thoughts.
