Anyone using a Topping D90 DAC with PiCorePlayer on the USB port ? .............

Could you tell me the Output Setting for Squeezelite ?

I've ordered a Topping D90 and it will save me the trial and error method of figuring out the output setting.
Thanks!

I have a Topping DX3 Pro, should be similar enough

I got my Topping D90 DAC today and in Case anyone needs to know the output setting that works, it is:

hw:CARD=D90,DEV=0

Just a little more insight.

The pCP help doesn't include the comments the system provides about the various output settings. These can be displayed using the aplay command and provide a little more information. For the Allo DigiOne card the output is below.

The only setting that appears to provide direct pass-through to the device is the hw: setting, as suggested by pCP in the help. All other settings apparently route the audio through some level of software or DSP processing first, and then on to the device. From a fidelity perspective it seems that the hw: setting is the correct one (as you noted in your post).
