Viet Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The Causes may be the old laptop! I have the plan that a mini computer called Liva Z will replace the laptop. Any idea is welcome! Tks a lot. Link to comment
Triplefun Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If you are not doing any DSd uosampling then the celeron should be fine. The pentium n4200 should support dsd128 upsampling for a different listening experience. Depends on the capabilities of your dac. Link to comment
Viet Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 @Triplefun my DAC with Amanero384 supports Native DSD 512, but I reckon DSD256 is enough. That requires Intel i5 or i7? Link to comment

Viet Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 @Triplefun thanks a lot for yr info.! With conversion of upto DSD256 only, Intel celeron is OK? Link to comment

Use either a pentium g5600 (2 cores / 4 threads) or better still an i3 8100 (4 cores / 4 threads). The pentium works fine 44khz / 16 bit to dsd256 but struggles with the higher resolution files.

Viet Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hi all, I use Daphile with my old laptop by usb boot, it runs fine with USB Amanero DAC, soud is good. At the samtime, I install Logitech Media Server on my Surface, I can connect to above USB Amanero DAC as player, music files can be played (meter on player counting) but no sound. Pls help. Thank you. Link to comment
Madra Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 not sure if this helps. did you select under Daphile>Settings>MediaServer>External (add the LMS server address of you Surface) Link to comment
Viet Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It came back to the previous issue: No change have been saved after restart Daphile, including change of static IP Even when I move/copy a file from this drive to other drive (RW checked), i can check the file in new drive, but when restart Daphile: that file disappreared!

Madra Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Better start from scratch. Flash and install Daphile on a new usb stick as per instructions. I have Daphile running on a Macmini, booted from USB, with LMS installed on a Synology NAS, controlled with iPeng. Link to comment
Viet Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hi, I re-install Daphile on my old laptop, it works fine, goes straight to mysqueezebox account and I also install others (Quobuz, Spotty...) However, when I set external Media server to connect to Logitec Media Server (with Squeezelight Player) on my Surface pro4 (server IP adress: setting>information>Logitec Media Server status). But it failed. Anyone can help? Many tks Link to comment
Viet Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Hi, pls. let me know whether Daphile's improve sound quality and/or performance if: 1. add more RAM (mine currence of 1G is ok with dsd64 conversion) 2. Add usb isolator before DAC (e.g self-powered Urgreen usb hub) Thank you. Link to comment

Second question depends on the quality of the dac USB input. I use a singxer su-1 for i2s output to my DAC. I also upsample all media to dsd512. Link to comment
Viet Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 My DAC is pure DSD DAC (upto 512) I use USB Audioquest Forest cable fr laptop to DAC. Thank you so much @Triplefun Link to comment

I just looked at my receipt and these were selling for $79 when I bought mine in April last year. I was looking to upgrade something in my chain and this was a relatively inexpensive option at the time. Viet 1 Link to comment

Viet Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 @Triplefun s'ry for late reply. Yes, I mean HD streaming. I am using old latop for dsd music and for streaming online radio via Logitech media server with Daphile. Sound is fine, and better with better computer. With 5G, maybe no any computer needed and dsd512 signals direct from modem to DAC?! Link to comment

Also dsd over sampling is not everyone's choice with many now preferring the original sample with r2r nos dacs. I also believe the more data that needs to be downloaded the greater the scope for jitter. So internal oversampling will be around for the short to medium term. In particular, I like the way daphile is able to over sample tidal for an effective enhancement. Viet 1 Link to comment
