The RPi output over USB is bit perfect otherwise streaming encapsulated DSD over PCM using DoP will fail. (This real DSD not the PCM converted stuff from PlayDSD and such). Having said that, I have clicks and pops from the single core RPi without overclocking, the quad core RPi2 is much better with almost no clicks playing ALAC and none at all with FLAC playing back 24bit DXD tracks @352kHz. RPi2 with PicorePlayer will also playback doublerate DSD (DSD2x/DSD128) without breaking a sweat, zero dropouts. My compliments to the PicorePlayer developers (Steen and Greg) for an excellent effort ------------------------------------------------------------------------ b0bb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
