And to switch back on again

sudo uhubctl -l 1-1 -a 1

After switching off and on again, my D10s comes back up fine again. Now to see if an easy switch can be made, or even an additional command when music stops and starts again...

One remark, I tested a RPi4B which has an USB2 and an USB3 hub. The catch is that the network port is connected to the USB3 hub so if you turn that off, you cannot turn back on again. I have my RPi with moOde connected via wifi and that did not give issues. So connect any dac to the USB2 port when using this approach, but I believe that's the advise anyway.

Is it also possible to just switch on/off the Topping, by means of "1-1.4" instead of the hub-wise "1-1"?
Just asking

Yes, I see, all ports are wired together...

Then I think it should work on all Pi models before model 4 with

Code:

sudo uhubctl -l 1-1 -p 2 -a 0/1

and on the model 4 with just

Code:

sudo uhubctl -l 1-1 -a 0/1

What do you think?

Yes.
Now, the "only" problem I see for a RPi3 for example, is that you will have the DAC and possibly an external SSD connected...
Switching the DAC off will also power the disc off...
(on the Pi4 you may just connect the DAC to the 2.0 ports, and the disc to the 3.0 ones and you're done)

I'm not sure if it suspends my other devices, an SSD and a FLIRC usb, probably, but so far it's not been an issue.

This is added in /etc/rc.local for a 15 minutes delay before port being suspended.

Code:

echo 900000 | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/power/autosuspend_delay_ms
echo auto | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/power/control

Thanks for this method, world that work for a RPI 4 as well?
And suspending turns your topping off? And it counts back to life when you start playing?
Because that procedure would be more convenient then mine...
