Are you using Doede's custom Sowter transformer or cap coupled passive out? (I've only got a single deck which is used in conjunction with a Broskie Unbalancer tube output stage. It was the first USB DAC I ever used with the WB, and is the main DAC connected to my non-development Wandboard that I use for headphone listening while I'm "working".) If you are not a NOS zealot, which I doubt you are if you can get over the concept of a sigma-delta DAC being the nucleus of a non-oversample DAC..... Try upampling via squeezelite with DDAC1794. Tick the upsample checkbox on the squeezelite web gui page, put "vM::2" into the upsample options textfield next to it, "Save and Conditionally Restart". If you have the latest firmware on the WaveIO, you'll be upsampling 44k1 (and multiples) to 352k8 and 48k (and multiples) to 384k. (176k4 and 192k if earlier WaveIO firmware revision.) You probably also want to increase alsa buffer and period size too. Put "35280:8820::" in the alsa params field on the squeezelite config page, "Save and Conditionally Restart". Give it a try. Oversample via squeezelite is much preferable to the built-in OS and DF most of the current breed of DAC chips. Oversample and DF per-se isn't evil, it's the quality of the implementation of it, something John Swenson, designer of the Community Squeeze DAC board, is a firm believer in too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
