For Pogoplug? Please....!
Can this be built for the Pogoplug v2 (E02)? armv5te?
Desperate to have some audiophile solution for my Plug...
Thanks !! 😀😀

Hi chap,
I am sorry for the late reply! Unfortunately it's only for armv6h and armv7h at the moment.

The first distribution for Raspberry Pi which has no problems when playing hires and DSD files.. I try 24bit/192kHz, DSD64 and DSD128 and works perfectly on Joro's I2S over USB Audio - Home..
The only problem is that it does not recognize external HDD, with Volumio is there, but Archphile only see flash memory..

Archphile uses udevil in order to handle auto mounting of usb sticks and disks:
https://ignorantguru.github.io/udevil/
It's already preconfigured and tested with various usb devices (mainly fat32 and NTFS).
A device not being automatically recognised is 2 things:
- a bug
- a problem with the disk (hardware or formatting related)
When you put the usb disk on an Archphile device it's automaticaly mounted under /mnt/usb-disk.
If you navigate there by typing ls command you should be able to see a directory with the label of the disk as a name.
The next and last step needed is just to update mpd database.
With regards to this post:
Vulejov is just trolling on this thread after the conversation below in Archphile forum:

Ps. there is no need to use sudo in Archphile. It's not installed by default and the only user active is root.

Flexus,
if you want to see my configuration, please see here:
https://github.com/archphile/recipe/blob/master/files/udevil.conf
If you wan to see how I configure it, you can see the archphile creation script - there is a small section there for udevil:

Vulejov has HDD which works on Volumio and other distributions, on same RPi with Archphile this HDD is unrecognized..
Archphile is archLinux and Volumio is debian. I've used them for several years and although they are both Linux they have different behavior in cases like usb mounting.
I have an experience for example from an external disk formatted in ntfs with gparted. It was OK in debian and not recognized by archLinux and don't ask me why, I don't know the reason. I reformatted from a Windows laptop and after that it was OK in both distros.
With regards to your disk, it might be a bug of udevil or archlinuxarn, it might be something that has to do with the way the disk was formated etc.
The first step I would do was to plug the disk and see if it's mounted with:
cat /etc/mtab
If everything is OK you should see it under /mnt/usb-disk and you will be able to use it after updating mpd database.
If you don't see the disk mounted, a second step would be to check dmesg messages. Another test would be to try to mount it manually in order to be able to see any possible error messages.
You did not show any will to try to solve the problem. You concluded that Rpi is a toy and the first thing you stated was that you would return using your laptop. You left me no space to start helping you with your behavior.
If you are satisfied with volumio, you should stay there. Volumio is an excellent distro and it's creator Michaelangelo along with the Runeaudio people were the ones that inspired me create Archphile. Volumio and Runeaudio are no competitors and I have no intention of trying to make you an Archphile user if one of these distros cover your needs.

In the end I'm not satisfied with Raspberry Pi, have problem with DSD and hires PCM files with every distribution.. Volumio and Runeaudio have them from 48kHz and above, Archphile is much better but repeat same problem with 192kHz..
Performance of Rpi and Hi res files depends on the dac, file storage, network etc.
You may not be able reproduce dsd and dxd with some combos but it should be 100% up to 24/192. I have tested it with several dacs.
Rpi is a nice device for the average user. Most advance users will really appreciate the power of udoo and cubox.
The device of my preference is udoo quad. With this board I had no problems reproducing even the highest dxd file I could find for testing with my xmos based 9018k2m dac.
To be honest however, archphile is not a distro for the owner of dxd and dsd files. I will always be focusing in pcm up to 24/192 because I believe that at the moment higher res files is just hype. Even if Rpi could play dxd without any problems, how many albums are available in this resolution?

And even 24/192 is total overkill. While I could possibly justify 24/96, all 24/192 adds is lots of empty space and some HF noise. DSD, I am sure, was a nice archive format in the 90's, but I really can't see any reason to use it these days, and DXD only exists as an intermediate PCM format for actually processing DSD files (and defeats all arguments about "DSD is better than PCM" or "DSD is better because you avoid conversions".
