Call for testers! Daphile

[Triplefun]

Yes I've done all that...no other USB drive enabled, setting up BIOS boot sequence. The thing is I did a successful installation quite some time ago, maybe last year but now I just can't. It made me think maybe the fault lies in the current iso file, that's why I asked for an older version of it just to make sure.

 

The fact that many have successfully downloaded and installed this iso file suggests there may be something incompatible with your machine. Try the beta (http://www.daphile.com/firmware/private-beta/) which is based on the latest Linux releases.

Seems a difficult issue but I don't have much else for you to try.

With a little effort I did find this link however:

Index of /firmware/stable/old

 

And it appears there are old versions available. Be sure to get 32-bit vs 64-bit based on what your machine needs.

 

And you may need this: http://www.daphile.com/firmware/stable/old/README

Hi all.

Just manage to boot Daphile onto my Mac mini and I can connect to it with my iPad via web browser.

Daphile doesn't seem to recognise my Chord Dave.

When I go to Audio Devices, it just says no compatible audio devices.

Please help.

 

Thanks

Try the beta which has better usb support ..

 

The beta (http://www.daphile.com/firmware/private-beta/) builds on the latest Linux releases. Note Dave is usb audio 2.0 class compliant.

Can you upsample real time to dsd256 native with no stuttering and minimal attenuation?

 

 

I have not tried that yet. I am still feeling out how will the mini will work. So far so good. I don't think it should be an issue at all, but I have not tried it.

I found out the computer uses ECC memory which should help with errors (what is used in Servers). Here is an actual picture of the inside - pretty neat really.

IF people are using an Android phone or pad for control of Daphile, what are they using?

I wonder if someone here was managed to upsample to DSD512 in real time with Daphile?

If yes, which setup, CPU, MB do you use ?

[mike eastman]

Does anyone know were I can find a list of the formats that Daphile will play? Will it play WMA file or will I have to convert them?

[Music Passion]

look into the lms webbrowser under advanced settings, look for tab formatting there you can find the formats and how lms converts them

[Music Passion]

sorry, you need to go to lms webpage, advanced, then choose file types on the top left. types: aac, aiff, apple lossless, monkeys, dff, dsf, flac, mp3, mpeg-4, musepack, ogg flac, ogg vorbis, wav, wma pro, wma lossless, wavpack, windows media, mpeg-4 sls / hd aac

Hello!

I just have installed the latest Daphile 16.07-i486 on my old thin client PC.

It is an old VIA C7 motherboard with 1GB RAM and a 2GB solid state IDE drive.

It has an integrated sound chip that I have disabled in Daphile settings.

 

Daphile output is set to my m2tech HiFace 2 USB to SPDIF converter.

Everything looks fine when I hit the "Play" button, all the songs seem to be playing just fine (the counter is counting time, etc), but there is no signal going from my HiFace 2 to my DAC.

The same HiFace works just fine wih my MacMini.

What could be the problem?

I am no Linux expert!

 

This is what "audioinfo.cgi" says regarding my USB device:

@Kuja

Try installing the latest beta which has improved USB management. See http://www.daphile.com/firmware/private-beta/.  Daphile may be "upgraded" to any specific version at     http://daphile/cgi-bin/Devel. Users have to copy the download link of the version as text to input field besides the Install button and  press Install to process.
 

[Kuja]

Thanks!

Downloading as I'm typing!

[Kuja]

It's not working!

I'm having the same problem with the latest 17.03-b051206-i486 version.

[Triplefun]

@Kuja

Make sure you have aligned the output from Daphile to the bit rate limitations of the DAC SPDIF input . You seem to be doing PCM to DSD upsampling (pcm2dsd_rate: 2822400) which is not supported by SPDIF. Try fixing the output from Daphile to  16bit 41Mhz.

[Kuja]

I thought that DSD settings apply only if I'm playing actual DSD files?

Here are the lines from the log,  already posted above, that are showing that Daphile is trying to send 41kHz audio to HiFace 2?

Here are my settings:

[Triplefun]

try changing audio processing to 'max rate' and set the max sample rate to 41000

Hi Botrytis,

What the board it is ?

 

[shpongle]

@kuja

maybe thats the Problem?

[01:16:55.218656] output_thread:716 open output device: hw:2,0 !

but here:USB Audio [hw;1,0]

It seems that I took the screen snapshot after some additional fiddling.

 

I have checked again, and the devices do match in the settings and in the log.

[11:58:46.190786] output_thread:758 open output device: hw:1,0

[11:58:46.193314] alsa_open:610 unable to set hw params: Input/output error

 

BUT!!! The interesting thing is that under "kernel audio driver parameters" (whatever that is ) "module" is snd_via82xx, even the actual device is disabled!

The player output is set to M2Tech HiFace:

 

How do I change the output module to M2Tech?
