Rick, I did not stop using Euphony, I had the opportunity to review the Allo USBridge Sig device plus the Shanti power supply, and that has led me to other paths. I just keep testing and listening.

DomieMic65 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Happy New Year to all!!! Two things: 1) On my rpi3b+ I use Allo DigiOne along with my USB DAC. Having plugged the USB as it seems it's not possible to select DigiOne as output! Should I unplug the USB in order Gentoo to "see" the DigiOne? I admit I didn't try it yet! 2) Is it possible to "play" with SoX for upsampling in S.lite R2? Thank you!!!

So having both plugged the default option to select is USB? Downloaded and running the 191231 img The default alsa is 1.0.29? I tried enabling MPD/upmpdcli/bubbleupnp in order to connect to Minimserver running on my NAS but the Lumin/Kazoo apps I use on my iPad (prefer Lumin) for remote couldn't see the Gentoo as Lumin. I only managed to play some files using bubbleupnp app in Android phone. Any idea about what is wrong?

I had no idea about the bubbleupnp status! But.. Before I discovered LMS/S.lite I was playing with the setup I describe above with another software (Archphile, not in development any more) with no issues so I guess there was/is no problem? No?

Popular Post Loukiz Posted January 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2020 I tested the performance of the new kernels with cyclictest. Most important are the numbers on the right side for each of the cores, showing the maximum latency after 100000 cycles (4 cores, Raspberry Pi 3B+). See attached results. Standard (non-real time kernels) cannot achieve the same latency performance, as can be seen. However, the standard real time kernel does not seem to perform that great either. There is also a difference in sound, at least in my system, some kernels seem to sound more analytical, while others tend to sound a little warmer (may also vary from system to system).

No? Controllerò i link che hai fornito! I'm not sure about the ports on the router, but surely the media render needs to be configured...

Loukiz Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I uninstalled everything I did not need (only kept upmpdcli and mpd), I'm currently liking the "4.19.71-GentooPlayer-RT-MIN-NOGRAPH-RCU-rt24+" kernel the most (sounds a little warmer in my system). With RamSystem activated I still have 478MB of total 969MB Free memory. RamSystem makes a huge difference, bigger than any Kernel change. The sound is great, thanks antonello! The only thing thats missing from my perspective would be some kind of update script for the future or fixed settings file where you can put it all your preferred options. This way you would not have to set all changes again for a new image, e.g.: Options.file (simply store on flashed SD card) Profile: 1 Kernel: 4.19.71-GentooPlayer-RT-MIN-NOGRAPH-RCU-rt24+ FixedIP: ... Gateway: ... Subnet: .... PlayersToInstall: mpd,upmpdcli PlayersToRemove: squeezelite,roonbridge,web,... (maybe just install the needed players, this would avoid having to remove them). something like this Link to comment

randytsuch Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 This morning I downloaded the 64 bit version, burned to a card and ran it. Was easy to get setup and running. Did a couple gp-reset commands, then selected usb dac and enabled NAD Tried kernals 1-9 and 23, get popping with all of them. Some were better than others. Also tried turning off HDMI Wondering if tweaking profile could help fix the pops? My system Link to comment
antonellocaroli Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 I don't have any pop, so I can't debug... maybe I should try compiling a non-realtime 4.14 kernel and another 4.19 rt version... @randytsuch @Chris_Shorter are you willing to test it?

Loukiz Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I have an issue with setting the CPU frequency, there is no way to limit the maximum frequency with the performance governor and the ondemand governor does not seem to change with editing the minimum frequency. I don't know if this is possible but ideally one could change the frequency of individual cores to keep the overall temperature a bit lower (maximum frequency for the isolated cores with the players).

Loukiz Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 1 minute ago, antonellocaroli said: did you try using the cpu-governor command? yes, if I set maximum frequency to 1200MHZ it will accept it but somehow the cpu will stay at 1400MHZ anyway. For Ondemand, if I set 1200 as a minimum, it will still stay at 600 MHz. Not too important at the moment, as I can keep it at 1400 MHz with Performance governor. But individual frequencies per core would be awesome, if possible Link to comment
