LMS 7.9 and DSD

DSD 'native' wont play via SPDIF. I don't think DSD over PCM is supported on most DSD DACs via the SPDIF inputs. If they are, they are limited to 24/192 which means you can only play DSD1x even if the DAC supports DSD2x or higher.__________________________________________________ ______________________

Well I seem to h ave accidentally solved the issues I was having. It had been my intention to upgrade my DAC, so I purchased a SMSL M8A. When I connected it, my attempts to play DSD, both natively and via DoP, met with failure but the nature of the failure was the clue. The DAC kept switching between PCM and DSD and operating in 'bursts'. So....
Switching from wireless to a wired connection fixed it completely. All is now working as it should.
Thanks for a the advice and support!Comment

I have LMS 7.9.0 installed on a QNAP 469L NAS with DSDPlayer plugin enabled. The player is a SOTM SMS-100 running squeezelite. The SMS-100 itself supports DSD throughput at its USB out, but my DAC doesn't. Therefore, I would like it to be ultimately transcoding to, say, 176kHz.
On the LMS settings' "Player" tab, it says, "This player supports native playback of DSD files. DSD-over-PCM should be configured on the player configuration interface" If I play a DSF file, it appears to be playing, but as expected, there is no sound coming out of the system because the DAC doesn't support DSD. If I set the file type preference of DSF to DSF: disabled (native originally), FLAC: dsdPlay, it would fail to even start track, and the SSOTS server log says,
"sh: /opt/ssods4/var/home/SqueezeboxServer/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/DSDPlayer/Bin/i386-linux/dsdplay: No such file or directory". I looked into the NAS's directory and see that there is /opt/ssods4/var/home/SqueezeboxServer/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/DSDPlayer/Bin/dsdplay but not one with dsdplay as a subdirectory of i386-linux. Out of curiosity, I tried creating a i386-linux folder and copied the dsdplay folder into it. After restarting server, the file type setting of DSF would only have the DSF native/disabled setting and the flac setting would be greyed out. So, this is probably not the cure.
My question is, should what I intend to do (transcoding dsf to flac) be an available option? Is my setting at fault, or is there something else I should look into (The QNAP firmwares this year broke support for LMS, and I had to made some minor mods to make it run as usual. So, I don't know if the DSDplayer plugin support is screwed up by the firmware upgrade as well)
Thanks.Comment

You better convert DSD to PCM (or flac) server side and let the player just receive (and convert to pcm if flac) then play to your DAC.
To do that, first you need a modified version of SOX (see www.audiodigitale.eu) then add a line ( dsf flc * *) to custom-convert.conf or use C-3PO plugin, that should made things esaier.

For what I remember and solved the executable location problem, you could use dsdPlay and let squeezelite convert DSD to PCM (should work just adding -c pcm,flac to your squeezelite command line, so the player wiill become NOT dsd capable), but sure is not the best way to go.

You still need to get the modified SOX version as explained in www.audiodigitale.eu.Comment

Does it mean I need to compile it myself on the NAS? If so, do I need to obtain specific libraries?
thanks!

You better ask here: https://audiodigitale.eu/?p=25, Simone is the guy that followed the sox sub project in C-3PO and sure could helps much better than me.

I entered a comment on audiodigitale but it doesn't show up, and I didn't get a response from Simone, yet. Could you help with me to contact him, please? maybe PM me an email address?
mille grazie!
