DSD is not working with USB DAC or I2S?
Hifiberry sounding too fast is related to a problem I discovered today on some system, an update is coming soon. It would help a lot if you share your configuration
Using RPI with LAN port, but not latest RPI+, hifiberry i2s dac on-board. Using recommended wifi dongle. Powered USB by 1.5 amp tp-link hub. RPI is powered by 1 amp power supply.
With Direct DSD there is no sound. With USB cable using DSD over pcm sound is distorted with static noise.
DSD dac is Schitt Audio Loki.
Input receiver: c - media cm6631a
D/a converter: AKM4396
DSD capable: DSD64
Analog topology: AD8616 with DSD specific filtering
100ma power consumption.

Despite I am not a Volumio user or author, I still found the comments are offensive and rude! 😡
Mike needs be Congratulated and we should be thankful for his on going efforts! What if there no other platform? So for the owner of such childless comments,
Best,

I don't really understand getting so bent out of shape and telling someone to stop developing a project they are working on and giving away!!

A little help please for a network challenged ancient...🙂
I have a Pi running latest Volumio and it is utterly wonderful !
It has a wired connection to my router and I can control it from another pc loging in with 'volumio.local/' Everything works.
On my Android phone I am using Sound@home app and can connect wirelessly,via the router, to the wired Pi.
Again everything works, but the Ui for Sound@home is not suited for my device making it difficult to navigate.
I would like to try the web interface using the Android device, however, it cannot connect using volumio.local/ and when I try inputting the Pi ip address it just times out.🙁
I have tried different browsers to no avail.
What is the step I am missing...🙂

Have you tried Firefox, Chrome or Proton?
I saw PI and breezed over IP.
Also be sure if you have used these browsers or the browser which is packaged with Android, that you clear the web cache in the browser settings.
Internet Explorer and Safari don't work well with Volumio. I tried in the past.
If you have both wireless and LAN connected at the same time on the PI, try only LAN first. Disable one from PC.
Another thing you can try is download a terminal app.
Ping PI ip address to see if PI replies.
At prompt type ping [ip address] then enter. No brackets.

Hello,
I'm very interested to ask, have anybody managed to get i2s output from Udoo using Volumio?
I was working on that two nights, unfortunately without success..

I've found a new thread in a volumio.org about i2s on Udoo: [Solved] UDOO I2S Output : Help - Volumio
Sadly, but I bought Udoo as I undrestood from a Volumio web site, that it is possible to use i2s with Udoo using Volumio.
I think, that it is unfair from Volumio in an Udoo feature list to write that Udoo has 3.5mm jack, HDMI, i2s, Coax S/PDIF outputs, but not mention that not all from these features are supported from Volumio.
So, I paid about 150eur for an Udoo, and now I have to sell my Udoo lets say for a half of price I paid or just throw it away and have to buy some another device hoping that it will support i2s. Nice!

Let me summarize - you gave 150EUR for a device to a manufacturer who did not bother to provide drivers and yet you complain about no support to a team of open source volunteers who gave you volumio for free.
No, I complain only for a misleading information in a Volumio home page that lead me to waste my money.
This is the problem with "ready for everyone, no need to know anything" DIY linux appliance projects. For me as a long term linux user that list is obvious - I would always check availability of the driver first.
Well, yes, it is a misleading information. But the whole principle is wrong. There is no "no-brainer" DIY linux appliance and if developers present one to be so, it is not honest. Errors/problems always arise and require skills to fix.
In addition to that - the "Only older kernels are officially supported (3.0.35)" is a no-go for anyone having used linux for longer time. Drivers (e.g. support for various non-standard USB soundcards) are added to new kernels and often impossible to backport to ancient versions such as 3.0. Clearly this device will be very hard to update, unless the manufacturer (community?) releases a working new kernel (likely or unlikely, toss a coin).
I know I did not help you with your udoo. But at least you can take it as an opportunity to learn 🙂

Trying version 1.51 tonight. Obviously the best place for information is at the Volumio.org forum. Get the latest information there.
Things are much better now.
Played 16-bit, 24-bit 44, 88, 96, 174 and 192. DSD still distorted.
However, the quality of the other 16 and 24-bit formats has improved noticeably.
For example, on tracks with depth, I can more clearly pin-point instruments.
On the Audiogon Wake-up Your Ears compilation, the track "Stank" has a drum kit that is deep, dead center. Now I can hear the snare, hit-hat and kick drum separated in space, and it's deeeep! Very nice. I liken it to the quality of version 1.41 when a track is placed completely in RAM.
Using the Buscia kernel profile setting.
Title: Stank (4:45)
Album: Explorations in Space and Time
Artist: Jamey Haddad/Mark Sherman/Lenny White
Genre: Jazz
Composed by: Lenny White, Jamey Haddad, and
Mark Sherman

This is very good work.
Thanks,
Vince

I2S Dac ES9018 and Volumio
Hi
Before I buy, Is the Volumio v1.5 for Pie compatible with ES9018K2M with I2S?
If so, which config should I use ( Hifiiberry seems to work with ES9023)?
Thanks
Fab

FAB, go to volumio.org and join the forum. There is a DAC forum there and it has a sticky post listing available DACs. You might not have to join. Might be able to view the forum without joining. You'll get more answers there.
Vince, I have already checked and found recommended Dac but they are mostly es9023 and pcm5102 Dac in I2S which I already have. These 2 are not my cup of tea since I find the sound too thin compared to my other setup ( udoo and usb xmos+Ak4399). I am hoping that with ES9018 with I/v stage with selectable opamp I can get the sound I like in a second setup upsing the pie...
