+1 on that. Archphile has unofficial support for both. I hope we can see in RuneAudio soon enough.

Thanks!

Hi flipphos,

I hope we can see in RuneAudio soon enough.

Soon enough for what?

The latest RP2/RP3 image has native DSD included.
The only thing that is missing is the option on the MPD settings page.

+This version of MPD 0.19 has been enhancend with DSD native playback options.
+DSD output using DoP is mutually exclusive with native DSD playback. 
+Disable DoP output (or do not configure DoP output) if you want native DSD playback.
+
+For MPD 0.18 and older:
+
+dsd_usb	"no"
+
+For MPD 0.19:
+
+dop	"no"
+
+Native DSD playback requires ALSA driver (i.e. linux kernel) and ALSA library
+support (ALSA lib >= 1.0.28). See: https://github.com/lintweaker/xmos-native-dsd
+
+Add the following configuration to the appropriate audio_output section(s) of your mpd configuration file (e.g.
+/etc/mpd.conf):
+
+audio_output {
+
+	# Normal config parts omitted
+
+
+	# Disable DSD DoP MPD 0.18 or older
+	dsd_usb		"no"
+
+	# Disable DSD DoP MPD 0.19
+	dop		"no"
+
+	# Enable native DSD
+	dsd_native	"yes"
+	# Set DSD native type
+	dsd_native_type	"2"
+
+}
+
+
+Use 'dsd_native_type "2"' for USB DACs that support 32-bit DSD_U32_BE sample
+formats (e.g. XMOS based USB DACs and Marantz/Kenwood DACs).
+
+Use 'dsd_native_type "0"' for USB DACs using 8-bit DSD_U8 format like the Botic
+driver for the BeagleBone Black.
+
+Enjoy!

Hi Frank

Will it also available for Odroid?

Best Regards

Hi Michael,

the package is compiled for "armv7h" so it should also work with the ODROID image.
The only thing we have to check is ALSA version. (ALSA lib >= 1.0.28)

- unzip the file
- copy mpd-rune-0.19.13-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz to your ODROID
- execute

pacman -U mpd-rune-0.19.13-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz

- edit your mpd.conf manually
- restart mpd

systemctl restart mpd

- test

Your changes to mpd.conf will be lost after reboot.
I'll change the config page as soon as possible.

Frank

Hi Frank,

Thanks your info.
Will latest image also support SACD iso file?

Hi Frank,

Thanks for pointing out the DSD settings! And I can recall I actually saw a DSD file was playing from a print screen in one of the posts in the forum.

Any plan for SACD iso file?

Hi flipphos,

Any plan for SACD iso file?

No not at the moment.
For now you have to extract the dsd files from the SACD iso.

Little bit disappointed
Haha

There looks to be a fork of MPD with the SACD ISO support

Thanks Dohmar's info

Hope it can help RuneAudio support SACD ISO earlier.

SACD ISO already is supported by RuneAudio?
This is a great feature for the system...
Very useful...

Dohmar

No, its not currently supported. There is a beta/development SACD support in a fork of MPD. If Rune wants to have SACD, MPD will need to be compiled with that fork added to the source code.

There any way to recompile the MPD from sourceforge in Rune with this feature ?

I really like RuneAudio but no SACD ISO, the way will be migrating to Archphile .

Dohmar

Its possible but without knowing how stable the code is, compiling it into MPD could compromise stability. They might be able to compile in MPD support as a plugin or a switchable/optional daemon pack. Best to send an email to the dev team to request it, they might not see this thread
