Daphile - Audiophile Music Server & Player OS

That does not mean the system is actually sending DSD to the soundcard. It is only some Daphile-specific GUI but the functionality beneath can be very different. E.g. "if the required DSD playback is not available, default silently to PCM".

Simple analysis of /proc/asound/... files would show exactly what is going on.

PS: Why not attaching the image directly?

Yes you are probably right

Playing through my SMSL M8 the transcode log file shows DSD128 upsampling ..

How do I add a screen shot when it only let's me use a URL?

Please see the attachment

How do I access the /proc/asound ..

I do not know how to access local files in the daphile linux distribution since I do not use it. AFAIR there used to be no access (local nor ssh over network) available in the officially distributed version, perhaps it has changed.

On any less locked-down linux there are multiple ways to view your local files.

Daphile CDPlayer

Presumably support for an internalised CDPlayer in Daphile is possible. The CD device is recognized in the Ripping module so no reason why I should not be also able to use it for playing CDs.

The CD plugins are located here https://code.google.com/archive/p/bpaplugins/downloads

I can load this to my Windows LMS server. But can some please provide me with a step by step guide on how to implement this in Daphile using the local Daphile computer CD drive..

Solved it. Just add the URL of the Linux zip file (https://storage.googleapis.com/goog...e.com/bpaplugins/cdplayer-linux-v1.08_7.3.zip) to the Daphile - Settings - Advanced Media Player - Plugins

Then restart Daphile and CD Player is now a plugin option
Select it and restart again and CD Player is now listed under Audio Player - Apps.

The sound, when upsampled to DSD128 for playback through your DSD DAC is excellent.
 
Yes, you can change polarity on the fly, but it is hidden somewhat: under "Settings", go to the appropriate audio device, select "Advanced player settings", and then "More". You then have to apply the new setting. I would prefer a dedicated button that is always directly accessible though, e.g., next to the button for playing from memory.

Help,
I’ve just clicked on the update firmware button in the 'settings' section and now I’ve got no access to my music files. The update went fine as always.
My files are situated on a laptop running win 7 and I connect using :-
cifs://A****a-PC@192.###.#.##/Users/Public/
with no Password, and Usage set to Music.
This set up has worked flawlessly for me up till now, and all i did was to update the firmware as I said.
Please can some one help as I’m now stuck and without music.

Kind regards.

Please try the version that is available here:
Code:

I have made one minor change related to CIFS mount without password. Such cases must always use "guest" mount option and kernel 4.4.12 had some changes related to authentication of guest mounts. I have not tested it with the similar case that you have, so no warranties that it would work.
 
Hi,
Same issue here as Meirkat. I went back to 16.05 version and all is fine.
Firmware at Index of /tmp.Ng4lfaeFQQ did not resolve CIFS issue.
Cheers and thanks for everything

This really seems to depend on kernel version. I created a test share without password on Windows 10. I got "Permission denied" error on Daphile with the latest Daphile kernel 4.4.13 but when I reverted kernel to 4.4.6 (of 16.05) it worked fine.
