Boards running squeezeslave

[lg.lindstrom]

Hi

I'm using a Reciver and a external DAC, the later capable of 24/196 sound. Unfoutnatly the Reciver is not.......

I've seen people setting up Squeezeslave on Rasberry Pi boards but that board dont have SPDIF out.

Have anyone tested running Squeezeslave on a SPDIF capable Board... ?? (which Board)

Squeezeslave is only 44.1 kHz .

Simplest way to get more versiltality is a Touch it does up to 24/96 which is what is needed for human consumption.
With triodes modifications it can also have USB and 192kHz at the expense of lost analog out and some tinkering to make it work .

For the DIY approach , using a suitable hardware , you also have to rewrite Squeezeslave or find a way to run SqueezePlay on the hardware , which already exist in a modded version that does 192kHz.

(SqueezePlay is what's running on a Touch or radio )

What about HDMI audio out on the RPi? Couldn't you go from HDMI to SPIDF fairly easily?

That said, I'm not sure squeezeslave is capable of outputting anything other than 16/44 at this point. I think there's been a certain amount of discussion about increasing it's capabilities in this regard but I believe it's still a work in progress.

I use a PCM2704 board quite successfully with the raspberry pi. It it recognized with Raspian out of the box and plays flawlessly at only about 10% cpu utilization.
I'm using it with the optical output. You will need to override the squeezeslave audio output device using the -o switch. Find the correct device with the -L switch. (It turns out to be 1 in the raspberry pi B. I recommend you look at the dmesg log to see if you have USB resets going on. I found the rPi gets unhappy if you have a USB 1.1 keyboard and a USB 2.0 connected at the same time....it keeps resetting due to the keyboard. I use it as a headless player so no keyboard is connected, and I use the lcd proc option to display the now playing info on a 2x20 blue lcd, directly driven from the rPi GPIO pins.

It is only supposed to support 16bit up to 48k, but (guessing here) LMS must be resampling, but plays 24bit FLAC files just fine.

Since I made my post above Triode released Squeezelite a headless software player actually capable of multiple samplerates .
