+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.
Code: Select all
+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 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
Code: Select all
pacman -U mpd-rune-0.19.13-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz

- edit your mpd.conf manually
- restart mpd
Code: Select all
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 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,

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