LMS 7.9 and DSD

[marcoc1712]

Hi,

I'm very sorry, this is a very long thread and I don't know where to look.

I'm very happy with an older version of Squeezelite, but DSD is only via DoP, which is limited in bandwidth.

I'm wondering if Squeezelite now supports DSD natively, and if so at what version this started?

Thank you,

Erik

DSD 'native' playback was introduceed in Daphile some time ago, I included it in R2 version in 2017 and Ralphy recently did the same first in picoPlayer version and now in the 'standard' one.

My linux builds newer than version 1.9.0-1093 compiled with DSD build option support native DSD.

Great, that's what I needed to know. Right now I am using the OS distro and it is only up to 1.8.2

Let me see how easily I can build the latest.

Best,

Hi, so I grabbed:

Squeezelite v1.9.0-1105

But the log file still says DoP is being used. The last line of the help screen says:

Build options: LINUX ALSA EVENTFD RESAMPLE VISEXPORT IR GPIO LINKALL

Does this mean it doesn't have the right build options ?

Well, I got past all the build issues, even made my own Makefile with the -DDSD option. I set -D 100:u8 (or something) and no dice.

On my mytek brooklyn I have gone through all 5 formats and none of them work except DoP

So it seems that the quirks.c file has been updated a couple of times, the latest June of 2018. The first time they added several mytek devices, but then made it more generic. So... wonder when I'll see this in my Ubuntu? I'm at 16 LTS, maybe I should upgrade?

Best,

So, as far as I can see, the Mytek fixes are not in until 4.15.5, if I want to avoid patching the kernel. Is that right?

I'm using a Squeezebox Duet (and sometimes the Squeezebox 2, with the fun little display) connected via optical out to a Teac UD-501 DAC. The USB port is meant for my PC. The server is the kindly by pinkdot supplied LogitechMediaServer-x86_64-7.9.2-168.0014.spk (source site), which runs on a Synology DS216+.
Now, I'm trying to get DSD playback working. I installed the DSDPlayer (v1.0) by Daphile and Triode. I then set the Soxr Quality, Filter and Steep Filter in Player --> DSDPlayer. In Advanced --> File Types, I set DFF to Native/dsdplay/dsdplay and DSD to Native/dsdplay/dsdplay. Nothing else was set/touched, but the server has been rebooted multiple times now.
When I open a .dsf file, or at least try to, it just gets stuck at a progress of 0:00 and doesn't play at all. Playing an entire album means every song is skipped. I'm not quite sure what's going on, could someone have a look? I took some logs from the LMS (and censored them a bit, privacy stuff) and I'll attach them below. Maybe you guys can figure out whether it doesn't work - and whether it will even work?

Due to the length of the log, it'll be attached as a .log file: LMS.log

Hello and nice to meet you.
This is my first post here as I am trying to get my Yamaha CD-S3000 to play DSD via piCorePlayer.

My environment looks like this:

LMS on Synology DS214:


Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.2 - 0011.1527861596 @ Fri Jun 1 16:21:00 CEST 2018
Hostname: DiskStation
Operating system: Synology DiskStation - EN - utf8
Platform Architecture: armle-linux
Perl Version: 5.24.0 - armle-linux
Audio::Scan: 0.95
IO::Socket::SSL: 2.037
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1)


pCP running on Raspberry Pi 2B+:

piCorePlayer | piCorePlayer v4.1.0 | linux 4.14.81-pcpCore_v7 | piCore v9.2pCP | Squeezelite v1.9.0-1121-pCP |

USB DAC: Yamaha CD-S3000, 24/192 max PCM, Native DSD 128 max
The problem is that in order for Yamaha to work in Windows with DSD, it requires an Steinberg ASIO driver.
The device does not accept DSD via DoP, only native.


The only way I got it to work correctly in pCP was to leave blank the output setting, all devices listed did not work or worked in 48Khz resolution

I have installed DSDPlayer (now version 1.02) , in LMS under player -> DSDPlayer i get "This player supports native playback of DSD files. DSD-over-PCM should be configured on the player configuration interface."

Under File Types I only get:

DFF DFF Native or Disabled
FLAC Greyed out - Disabled

DSF DSF Native or Disabled
FLAC Greyed out - Disabled

I tried all recommendations on Soundcheck's blog: "soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/2018/01/raspberry-pi-audio-engine-part-6-dsd" (cannot post links as this is my first post)

DSD does not play at all, with any of the settings recommended above. I don't know what -W, -D commands stand for...

I had partial success by entering in pCP under "Device supports DSD/DoP" the value "0:dop". Yamaha plays DSD64 this way, but not DSD128.

I have no clue about squeezelite commands or linux but I am pretty good at following instructions.

Might help: I found a post regarding Yamaha CD-S2100 (probably the same USB receiver) here on the forums, as I cannot post links yet , I am copy / pasting the original post:

Hi,

After using successfully Volumio and Rune Audio for months, I decided to try Picoreplayer. The lack of Wizzard doesn't make the installation so easy for a non Linux specialist, but I finally found a way to make everything work, including reading from the NAS to my Yamaha CD-S2100 DAC SACD player.

Unfortunately, I could not find a way to play 44, 96 or 192 Khz files as the output is locked on 48 Khz.

I have found the up sampling section of the Squeezlite tab settings, but I could not understand what parameter I could test to resolve the issue...

I would appreciate a lot if someone could help me! this is the info I get from the command line. I do not know if this can help...

tc@piCorePlayer:~$ sudo cat /proc/asound/card1/pcm0p/sub0/hw_params

EDIT: I have found the solution... I have left the field "output setting" blank, and now, I get the correct output...

Dominique

The OP was not interested into getting DSD working, he just left the Output Setting field blank, it worked, and moved on.

Thank you.
