My opinion is: yes, with a high quality DAC, Raspberry PI with pCP plays DSD-files just fine. Unfortunately, I don't have measurements. This is what I hear. Raspberry PI 3 model B via USB to Oppo Sonica DAC plays DSD64, DSD128 (I have not tested DSD256). pCP reads files from an external USB-disk or via wifi or via ethernet. On Raspberry PI all data flows through the same USB hardware, yet no problem, sound quality is uncompromised.
This is with pCP version 4.0.0, with the regular kernel (audio optimized or RT not necessary) and with "Native/DoP DSD Squeezelite binairy". No tweaks necessary. Because I have no measurements, I cannot tell whether or not USB has a lot of noise. Apparently, noise levels are low enough for Oppo Sonica DAC. Maybe other DAC's are more sensitive to USB-noise? So DSD plays as does PCM, which is upsampled by pCP to 384 MHz. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ twentyfourbit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68035 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109862 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
