Sorry for my long abscense, first I had 3 weeks vacation, and the I needed a week to work through all the tasks that was waiting for me after the vacation. But now I will have some time to further improve the piCorePlayer.
So thank you all for your reports on the various piCorePlayer versions and especially your testing of different USB-DACs. I'm a bit puzzled because for me the newest version 1.06 is playing fine through my inexpensive USB-DAC (which has a max rate of 48 kHz) but many of you report that version 1.06 plays high resolution files fine, whereas 44.1 and 48 kHz files have some clicks? So there are some areas to work with: 1. In order to find out what the problem could be I would ask if fourwed and Willem which I know have different USB-DACs could test version 1.06 again after having added dwc_otg.fiq_split_enable=0 in /boot/cmdline.txt. (You can edit this file simply by putting the SD-card into another computer (windows or linux) and then edit the text file using notepad or similar.) 2. Support of more wifi cards (I will order a radlink card, in order to try to support it) 3. Based on your experience which reasonable priced USB-DAC would you advice me to buy in order to spot problematic USB-DACs with the piCorePlayer? I have got a few donations, so I have about 80 $ to spend. 4. The bit-perfect HDMI question. I don't know if piCorePlayer can do bit-perfect through HDMI. Could you test it with 2 channel flac files first - so if you use a ordinary flac file, will the output be bit-perfect? Steen piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi (25MB in RAM).
