Reply To: Hifiberry Dac+ Pro squeezelite LMS 7.9 nightly DSD fail

25. April 2016 at 17:44 #19970

Hello together,

to be honest I don’t understand the issue.
In my configuration with the DAC Pro there is no native DSD involved, as the DAC cannot play DSD natively.
=> So I convert all the DSD-Files to PCM
Even if the DAC can play DSD natively it should play PCM ;-)!
So if you convert DSD to PCM even your DAC schould play DSD
=> for sure it’s not bative as it’s converted to PCM

-c pcm,flac,mp3,dsd -r 44100,48000,88200,96000,176400,192000

With this line squeezelite is converting and resampling to the adequate Samplerate.

For sure it’s mandatory to tell LMS to handle DSD Files not natively

=> setting DSD as following
DSF
DSF deactivate
FLAC dsdplay
FLAC dsdplay
FLAC dsdplay

Are you sure you have set the volume to a fixed rate in LMS?

Without that you will fail.

Just my 50 Cents to this issue.

Best regards
