jcbenten Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I listen to music via a Squeezebox Touch to my Linn system. I have been using a Topping NX4 DSD DAC with excellent results...meaning connects immediately and no issues. I also have an iFi xDSD that I wanted to use and am having nothing but trouble. I picked the iFi via the Audio Settings in the SBT, have the iFi setup in Line-Out mode, and it worked...for about 9 minutes. Then....silence. No amount of messing around was able to get it back. Reconnect the Topping, selected in Audio Settings, rebooted, and immediate music. Does anyone know of a setting or a "trick" that I am missing to get the iFi to work?

jcbenten Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 I changed the xDSD firmware to 5.20 which disables MQA (came with 5.30 and I never bothered to change) and switched back to DAC mode. That did the trick...actually I think it was the firmware. I had tried in DAC mode then switched to Line Out. Something must have have latched up correctly this time around. The SBT goes through a reboot or two when switching DO and selecting the DAC.
