That's odd, because my CM6631 works perfectly with Daphile. Full USB Audio v2.0 supported.
Thanks for the help. I'll see if I can get the laptop up and running this afternoon.
Cogitech,
Would you kindly confirm whether you are using a CM6631 or a CM6631A based usb to spdif converter.
I have a generic LJM CM6631A usb to spdif purchased on ebay, which when use with Firmware 0101 PID 0×0319 is automatically detected and outputs spdif when used with volumio on the Raspberry Pi.
However, the same LJM CM6631A unit although detected by Daphile as High Speed USB2 hardware does not appear to output any signal through spdif.
If , I may enquire, what is the firmware that is flashed on your unit.
You may check the firmware by using the flash update tool found in the CM6631 Firmware 2203 package VID 0x0D8C PID 0x0309 on Windows XP which may be downloaded from http://www.nutsaudio.com/driver/CM6631_Firmware.zip
Full particulars of the firmware(s) and the update tools are to be found at
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/digital-source/217764-cm6631-usb-audio-interface-any-good-22.html at post no #221
I would very much like to solve this problem and to use the LJM CM6631A unit with my external dacs when playing with Daphile.
I believe that the first step to solving the problem would be to identify the firmware that works with Daphile.
Incidentally as an aside, and for your information why I am somewhat curious as to the firmware used; the LJM CM6631A unit when shipped came with Firmware 0108 PID 0×0314 . This firmware 0108 PID 0×0314 worked in Windows and was able to output an spdif signal but did not work in volumio which is based on debian linux.
It was only after I flashed the firmware to 0101 PID 0×0319 that the unit worked in Volumio. Nonetheless neither 0101 PID 0×0319 nor 0108 PID 0×0314 works with Daphile .
Thanks in advance. Hope to receive a response from you.
Could you please test the latest private version available here:
http://www.daphile.com/tmp.PA4Qn5fWcN/
If you have a full installation of Daphile (not unetbootin USB flash) you can upgrade to the private version as follows:
- go to http://daphile/cgi-bin/Devel addrress on your Daphile PC
- copy the following link text (either for i486 or x86_64 version) to input field besides the "Install" button
- reboot
This has some improvement for Suspend, HDMI audio with KMS GPU drivers (might cause trouble), Mytek Firewire fixed, latest 3.14.6 kernel, etc...
I would appreciate if you would post possible feedback using the contact form on the web page or email (if you have the address), not on the forum (I'm not reading this daily).

Yes, it's possible.

I tried it and it worked.
I finished building a little headless, fanless, intel based PC a few days ago.
Installed Daphile on a stick, plugged the stick into the PC, and it worked pretty much right off the bat, no problems.
Plugged in my USB DAC and a USB hard drive with my music, and I had music playing within a few minutes. It had to be the easiest setup I've done for a PC.
So thanks very much for this software.
But now I do have a problem. I put all my music on a SSD. Plugged the SSD into my PC, but the SSD doesn't get recognized. I had the SSD plugged into a SATA port, and also tried a USB port with an adapter, and nothing.
I formatted the SSD in windows using exfat for the format.
Maybe this is more of a linux question, but wondering what I'm doing wrong?
I did some research, and it seems like I might have to do a few things in linux to support exfat.
Thanks
Randy

Randy, Could you post some info on this headless PC? I'd love to replace the old Dell laptop currently running Daphile with a tidy little box.
Thanks, Mack
Chassis Streacom HTPC-FC8-Evo-Silver
Motherboard Intel S1200KPR motherboard
Processor Intel Pentium G630 processor
DRAM Crucial CT25672BA1067 2GB 240 pin DIMM DDR3 ECC PC3
Power supply pico PSU ATX Power Supply 160W 12V input 24 pin ATX
Power Supply Xbox ps for 12VDC
Chassis is very nice, although it is not cheap, but there are not a lot of options for a passively cooled PC chassis.
Motherboard is obsolete, not sure if you can still find them. It is the MB that is recommended at the jplay forum.
For the processor, I was looking for something relatively cheap and low power, compatible with the MB. At jplay, they like a xeon processor, but it is kind of pricey.
I may build a 12v linear supply but I had the xbox supply sitting around so I used it.

Hi All,
I now use Daphile for some time and it is working great
My current library was recognized and the album cover was visible.
bud when i was ripping a cd that was not able to tack i wanted to add the album cover later.
Is there a way to edit the tack that is already on the hard drive?
my current method is, copy the file to another machine edit the file and replace the old one on the Daphile computer, refresh the library and we are there.
There must be a simpler way
Greetings
George

And also absolutely crazy too, using a powerful (and power hungry) server CPU for audio playback which even an embedded ARM/MIPS CPU consuming single watts can handle with ease reliably.
It's just right now Daphile is intended for intel type processors which aren't really the best for mobile.
If I wanted something like this in a mobile solution, I would probably look at using a Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black for the hardware. There are software packages for those platforms like Volumio or Runeaudio. They both have threads going here.
You can find DACs that plug into the Pi, and probably for the BBB also.
EDIT
In thinking about it, the problem with a really mobile solution is controlling the player. At home, with a wifi network its easy. Elsewhere, not sure what you would do. You can get little displays and add some buttons to the rPi and BBB, but then you need software and it gets complicated.

I was thinking along the lines of a Dell Venue 11 Pro with an external DAC and HD.
The Dell supposedly gets about 10 hrs on a single charge and has an option to swop batteries.
Oh! and another thing... Do you have any pics of your DHT headphone amp?
