After "installing" NAA a dozen times. This is still the result after the DONE response:

reboot the sMS200 and then try to install kernel again

if it goes well reboot again and try to install NAA

I've rebooted it and tried it again - both kernel update and NAA installed dozens of times now.

I either need a new disk image down load or to try another mSD card again. between 5.1 and 5.3 I had to totally replace the mSD card. The previous card was a 32gb Samsung EVO card, when I replaced it it used the 32gb PNY that folks point to as best for this application.

 

I couldn't get the Samsung mSD to take the 5.3v disc image, that's why I changed to the PNY mSD.

Try to format the card (fat32) and then burn the image again, no need to download the image again

The NAA is now version 4.4 is that the correct version??

Yes it is, there is actually a very new version 4.5.0 that was released few days ago, I suppose it will be available on eunhasu in few weeks

Thanks for the advice and bearing with me through all of this. As I said, I had issues from 5.1 to 5.3 as well. And, since it's a year or so since that issue I kind of have to learn to recognize what I'm seeing as if it was a new problem all over again.

Since I use Sandisk Ultra 16GB microSD cards for my sMS200 and two rpi4 I’ve never had any issue.

Happy you could finally update your sMS200.

and 5.4 that gave me even more problems.

You should upgrade to 5.4 and to the new kernel as it gives compatibility with more Wi-Fi dongle chips (btw … 5.2 is quite old and had some issues)

Try for first to connect the SOtM to the router by wire, once it works fine try using Wi-Fi dongle and if you have the same double SSID with same name “issue” try to change in the router the SSID names (one for 2.4GHz and the other for 5GHz )

Have others here been using Squeeze with their SMS200 Ultra

I’m using it with Daphile as a server running on a Intel Nuc10i3/16GB ram … great sound!

Daphile isn't available for Mac OS.

If you have an Intel Mac you can boot from usb pendrive …

What happens when you play a DSD file in Squeezelite?

It does play as any other player/endpoint according to the dac, it can play DSD in native mode if the dac is a DSD native dac or in DSD/DoP mode if the dac is DSD/DoP only, Squeezelite must be configured depending on the dac of course.

I can play up to DSD512 that’s my max dac resolution.

MPD version : 0.23.4

Should be 0.23.13 …

[stefano_mbp]

Surely 23.4 is higher than 23.13?

I think it’s lower … 23.4 il like 23.04

[stefano_mbp]

21 minutes ago, audiobomber said:

@MayfromSOtM can you clarify please?

The last MPD version is 23.13 that is higher than 23.4 (it’s numbered without leading zeroes after the dot ie 23.4 … -> 23.9 -> 23.10 … -> 23.13)

[stefano_mbp]

@audiobomber here the MPD versions history … the 23.4 release date is 2021/11/11

[stefano_mbp]

4 hours ago, audiobomber said:

MPD version : 0.23.13, UPMPDCLI version : 1.7.9.

They are both up to date but you could try to uninstall MPD, reboot the sMS200 and install again MPD

Firmware may sometimes have issues

It must be something else as here the last one is working fine since it was available

Eunhasu Web interface version : V0.5.31

MPD version : 0.23.13

Did you check the MPD configuration? A friend of mine recently updated his sMS200 and the dac was detected as DoP while it was actually Native DSD (McIntosh DA2), changing the configuration from DoP to Native DSD type 2 solved the issue

[stefano_mbp]

Thanks Stefano, you nailed it! I had been playing with DSD settings shortly before the trouble. I went back to DoP and everything seems to be working and I have the latest updates. Operator error! 😜

WAP

Is it a Wireless Access Point?

A reboot and/or a reset and reconfiguration should solve the issue … if it isn’t an hw issue

Any ideas how to get the first none UPnP/AV renderer back?

In MPD&DLNA configuration page check if OpenHome is checked or not

Is there any way to transcode DSD to PCM on the fly with Eunhasu? 

Unfortunately it’s not possible but if you’re using Minimserver/MinimStreamer (paid Full version plus year maintenance) you can use MinimStreamer to transcode on the fly DSD to wav

Schiit Mobius DAC

None of these dac can play DSD (native or DoP) according to their specs

16 minutes ago, audiobomber said:

Raspberry Pi in another system is able to play DSD files, to a Schiit Modi 3

What player do you run on the Pi? It must downsample DSD to PCM …

[stefano_mbp]

5 minutes ago, audiobomber said:

I know Schiit DAC's cannot play native DSD. But they will play converted DSD files if the end point does the conversion. My other end points convert (Windows, Volumio, Chromecast). The sMS does not, all I get so far is stuttering.

Today I installed BubbleUPnP on the sMS-200, but it didn't seem to do change anything as far as I can tell.

Once Bubbleupnpserver is installed and running on SOtM sms200 you need to configure it using its configuration web page that can be accessed by any browser using the url

http://SOtM-ip-address:58050

then go to the Media Renderers tab, select the one you want to configure 

.

Give the Room name a different name than the original one.

In the control point you can select now the renderer/Room you’ve just configured.

I’ve never used Audio decoding but it should work …

- Add 'CPU frequency' selector

What will that do?

May from SOtM described here the new functionalities

I use a NAS and sMS-200, so it appears the new CPU speed and max volume settings are not available to me.

They are definitely there … in System Setup/Settings
