How are you taking the sound out of your Pcm2704 board. I use one of these boards often to convert usb from PC to spdif, and then digitally to the main DAC. Sound is good like this. But using the PCM2704 board as a DAC and taking audio out of the phones socket it is not brilliant, goodish but not brilliant.... -
Never quite believed it had really spun down, the light goes out but it was new not much used as I mostly stream BBC r3 and I do feel it could be a bit flakey...Leave a comment:

Its used on both, whichever I am using at the time. Its a 1tb hdd and was quite expensive so using a usb key would be much more convenient as I could have one for each as they are cheap.
The rpi3b+ with pCP and the thinclient with Daphile both play from usb memory. I have only got 16gb of flacs...Leave a comment:

I thought music storage was not critical on media, but my 1gb spinning hdd is causing some problems so will keep it as spare. I found a 64gb cf card and an adapter and music plays fine to me, so I will use that until I get a usb key and not bother with anything else. May even pay more and get a good...Leave a comment:

I may try one and keep a backup of music folder.

Music Storage on USB3 M2 SSD Mobile ssd?
Hello
Has anyone used USB3 M2 storage SSDs for music storage. They are becoming really cheap, £12 for one TB. My hdd is getting old and I feel it needs retiring to a backup unit.
What are peoples ideas on music storage with USB3 M2 storage SSD.
Thanks

Thank you Paul that has sorted it out and it plays well. Set to hw:CARD=Audio,DEV=0. Rpi is a 3b+ and its the first time I have been on v8.2, good improvement on v7.0 that I have been using.
Thanks again for your help.
All the best

Paul I do not get a choice, there are no dacs mentioned in the choices. I chose hw:CARD=DAC but squeezelite stops with this.
The pcm2704 dac is recognised as one but the Bravo-x seems a problem and squeezelite stops....Leave a comment:

PiCorePlayer USB DAC Choice Problem
Hello
I have pCP 8.2 on a pi3b+ and am having problems since changing usb dacs. It worked well with a pcm2704 dac but I cannot get it working with a Bravo-x usb dac.
In the choices of dac which is best. The dac has a ESS9018 chip if that helps. This does not appear on the list of choices,...
