Hi,

I´m using RA with this setup:
Pi3 + DIGI+ - connected with SPDIF coax to my Anthem MR510

I found out that my receiver only accepts coax inputs samples up to 176.4 kHz (optical is less).

My problem is to find out why the MPD is not down sampling the 192K files, with those files my amp doesn´t recognize the music files.

What can I do to change this?

Thanks.

Hi osanto,

My problem is to find out why the MPD is not down sampling the 192K files

The problem is, that your DAC does not know anything about your AMP and its issues.

You can try to add:
format "96000:*:*"
to your mpd.conf file.
This will up/downsample all files to 96k.

Thanks for your help.
Where I can find the mpd.conf file? Using console.
Other thing, if my Receiver DAC suports samples up to 176.4 kHz, it should make more sense to limite the up/downsample to that value?

Can enter this in SSH :

sudo nano /etc/mpd.conf

I did it for testing. It works but in Runaudio in the MPD menu I have now no access to the page but instead a message saying File /etc/mpd.conf was modified outside Player UI.
You can edit it manually or reset back to default settings.

I restarted MPD but no changes

Hi Mat,

I have now no access to the page but instead a message saying File /etc/mpd.conf was modified outside Player UI.

This is not an error it is a feature.
Rune changes the configuration at boot.

If you like to have this setting permanent, than try this:
- edit the file "/srv/http/db/redis_acards_details"
from

Code: Select all

$redis->hSet('acards_details', 'snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi', '{"sysname":"snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi","extlabel":"HiFiBerry Digi (I²S)","hwplatformid":"01","type":"i2s"}');

to

Code: Select all

$redis->hSet('acards_details', 'snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi', '{"sysname":"snd_rpi_hifiberry_digi","extlabel":"HiFiBerry Digi (I²S)","card_option":"format\t\"96000:*:*\"","hwplatformid":"01","type":"i2s"}');

- execute these commands:

Code: Select all

redis-cli del acards
php /srv/http/db/redis_acards_details

- reboot

when i enter: /srv/http/db/redis_acards_details i have this msn:
"Audio Cards database initialized
[root@runeaudio ~]#"
It shouldn´t open the file?

Hi,

- edit the file "/srv/http/db/redis_acards_details"

Means:
Use an editor of your choice and open the file.
For example use nano:

nano /srv/http/db/redis_acards_details

Thanks for everything. It worked!!!! Problem solved.
One doubt, with this settings all files will play at 96K, i can understand that a 190K file has to be down sample to play in my system, but why a 48K file has to be up sample? Do I have any advantage?

Once again, THANKS for your help.
