I'm looking to buy a ryzen 5800x for daphile dsd512 upsampling on a b550 mobo Is there any advantage in using more RAM than the Daphile recommended 2GB ?
Triplefun,
I think it an overkill, Totally underutilised the CPU. I am running mine with a Celeron CPU perfectly fine. If you want something faster get a second-hand laptop or desktop or fanless PC, comes with 3 or 4th generation i5(must be low powered ie T version), plenty of processing power already and saves you heaps.
A fanless PC would be an advantage, my Celeron is fanless 'brick' PC I bought from a company in China, maybe you don't' want to buy Chinese goods now. FYI Chinese goods from ALiexpress are getting expensive esp. Intel-based new PC's. It's up to you.
Good luck. I am enjoying my Daphile Celeron PC now with newly designed speakers.

Thanks but you obviously have not tried PCM to DSD upsampling in realtime. It works great with daphile. For more details I suggest you look at some of the hqplayer threads and the troubles they are experiencing with some of the more complex filters. The ryzen ipc increase would appear to be a definite win and I am looking forward to seeing the feedback.
Every solution has it's pros and cons.
Another option is to offload the processing to hardware.
I use an AKM4137 based resampler to convert to DSD256.
This allows economy in the computer used for Daphile.

Delta sigma DACS such as those from ESS and akm internally upsample pcm streams to an internal DSD format prior to the analoge conversion.DSD streams are processed directly. The argument for computer based upsampling is increased flexibility and reduced strain on the dac. The daphile sox DSD upsampling is well regarded. Hqplayer offers even more options but is expensive. It is estimated that the highest quality hqplayer DSD512 upsampling requires a cpu with a single thread frequency of 7ghz which is beyond today's processors. The latest amd ryzen processors go some way in realising this requirement.

Yes, and is why I favour a standalone hardware resampler that sits between the computer and the DAC..takes the load off both..
But it only does dsd256 which is not all that difficult. Note I am well aware of the Chinese offerings and have made extensive use of devices from Gustard, SMSL and topping. Also see the t&a dsd1024 upsampling dac for us$25,000 T+A new flagship streaming dsd1024 dac - DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion - Audiophile Style
In the later versions of Daphile the minimum disk size for system + music is 2 Tb. It wont install in a 1Tb disk.
@Tarasque You have overstated the requierements for Daphile by quite some....😉 (I think perhaps you meant to post GB but your keyboard said otherwise.)
from the Daphile installation instructions...
I have what I hope is an easy question that I have not been able to find the answer too.
Can I output Daphile on ethernet (rather than usb)?
I want to output daphile via ethernet to an external USB bridge that only accepts ethernet input.
Thanks,

I have the Allo USBridge Sig (not the signature player)
USBridge Sig - Ultra low noise RPI
I want to see how it sounds before I consider stepping into something like the ultraRendu or similar.
I really like Daphile, but when fed directly into my DAC, it can have unwanted distortion when I forget to unplug certain devices.
In the big picture, I am focused on improving the entire transport chain from server to DAC, and I am trying to narrow down where to start and what to focus on.
Thanks,

That was the way I did some day before (-9dB)! It works.
Now I set -10dB
Thank you so much!
Configure Daphile as the LMS File Server and MoOde on the USBridge Sig as the squeezelite player.

ickstream
hello guys,please, how to integrate ickstream into Daphile ? (now I have problems with Tidal in Daphile - all looks O.K. - favourites, searches but no playing,nothing was changed in settings)

so problem with TIDAL is that TIDAL dont support http streaming anymore, https only ... LMS have to be in version 8 ... we have to wait the new version of Daphile with LMS 8

I really appreciate you taking the time to add some screen shots as well as answering.
I'll give it a try in a few days once I get done putting my amp together, and can move on to the next part of the journey...
