Do you have a soundcard with both analog and SPDIF outputs? It may be possible to listen and record if the digital output is active.
Hello,
"Native DSD" option disabled at mine Daphile (15.12) installation.
Does that mean that my usb interface (waveio) does not support it?

Thats a possibility, I have one but not too good quality. I will have a look on bbay. Thanks.
Could you please add waveio to the list of supported devices?
I managed to enable and store this option (using js debugger) and was able to play DSD files.
I don't think it's driver related..
Maybe need latest WaveIO firmware for native DSD support..

That is the firmware version currently running on my board.
I guess daphile identify native dsd capability of device by usbid or something like that.

Tried to load daphile onto 3 windows computers after following instructions exactly to make bootable usb flash drive.
Didn't work , windows booted up in every case. Which was just as I suspected it would, instructions just seemed to be too easy to work as promised.
Linux developers need to realize a lot of us computer audio guys just dont have much experience with linux, booting computers etc.
A comprehensive set of instructions for dummies is what is needed if you expect general take up of a new player.
Kudos to Moode player, I got that working relatively easily on a PI2+ and it sounds great via I2S lines into Ians FIFO buffer into a 1541 dac.
Put Daphile into looks interesting but too hard category.

Hello Supra,
don't blame Daphile for this, but the way PCs work nowadays. All new(er) Windows PCs work with Secure Boot in order to prevent virusses to enter a PC on low level boot. You can go around this and install e.g. Linux on a PC, but first you need to stop Secure Boot and enter your PC on UEFI (i.e. the boot level) How to do this may be described here: How To Disable UEFI Secure Boot In Windows 8 & 8.1
As soon as you can enter the UEFI you can select another drive (disk or USB-stick) to boot from. Although it is a difficult process you should be able to manage to find the way to do this. Sometimes you can find information via Google for your specific PC on how to install/boot Linux (Daphile is based on Linux)
Your comparison of Daphile on a PC and Moode on a RPi not a fair deal since these are different platforms you try to compare. Starting Moode (or Volumio or RuneAudio etc.) is indeed simpler, but Daphile is also very good. I have used all of these programs and they are all quite nice. Daphile has the advantage that you can use it for Squeezebox devices (since it is based on Logitech Media Server) which you can't with MPD-based systems (MPD is the audio streaming program used in Moode/Volumio/RuneAudio)
I hope this may be of help for you 🙂
Thanks for posting this, but I did check that secure boot was disabled, daphile is for expert computer geeks, not for the common man imo.
I guess so, if the definition of "expert computer geek" is "someone that is able to install non-standard software". It is a sad statement to the state of things that that is becoming a rare ability...
Thanks for describing Daphile-users as "geeks" 😀 Partially you are right, but it may take only some time to find out how to install Daphile on a PC. Perhaps you can find someone locally who can help you with the installation. Once it works it is a nice program to work with.
Was a "common man" ever able to install a dual-boot system? Daphile is a linux distribution, nothing miraculous.
Hi Supra,
Don't give up. I had difficulties getting started in the beginning,but got help here from Drone. In his words:
"You want a drive that is "unallocated" ie not formatted or partitioned. (you appear to be trying to install on a formatted drive, that is the problem.)"
I used his suggested GParted to setup my USB drive and then it was a walk in park.
Daphile is really nice.
Cheers

Thanks I had a look at gparted but it made my head spin, I have to download gparted and then daphile. ?
Im an audiophile/music lover, I cant see why the developer of daphile cant make it accessable to more than a small minority of computer users who have the skills and patience to get it to work.
Its like buying a motorbike without the wheels.
Daphile - Audiophile Music Server & Player OS
You don't buying Daphile, it is free..
Devoper of Daphile makes very simple instalation process..
It is very strange that someone don't know how to boot computer from USB..

Because while making a nice software package is not trivial, making an installation system that works on all kinds of computers and all kinds of hairbrained proprietary schemes different manufacturers come up with is even more demanding.
No, it is like someone giving you a trailer for free, and you expecting them to also provide a trailer tow hook attachment that fits your car.
