Airplay not working - Dropbear67 - 11-07-2018
Raspberry Pi 3B+
Using UAC2 and a Topping 30D DAC
I have enabled airplay and left the bitrate and everything else at the default. I can see the Moose player come up as a valid airplay target but when I try and play any music through it (iOS 12.1) it just crashes the Airplay server.
I checked in /var/log and shareport-server.log is 0 bytes.
What can I do to help you guys trouble shoot this? I know airplay may not be popular but honestly I stream more music than I play locally. This is a make and break issue.. VERY happy to donate if this can be worked out.
RE: Airplay not working - Dropbear67 - 11-07-2018
I can see two lots of the server running.. is this wrong?

RE: Airplay not working - Dropbear67 - 11-07-2018
Ok I think I sorted it.. it looks as though my DAC can only support 32 bit and not 16 bit samples. so changing the 16bit to 32bit seems to have fixed it ...
RE: Airplay not working - Dropbear67 - 11-08-2018
Can someone please explain to me why this 32bit fudge is neccessary? is it something to do with the lack of proper USB drivers?
The specs for the DAC say the following;
Topping D30 DAC
Digital input: USB + S/PDIF (optical) + S/PDIF (RCA)
Analog input: 1 x RCA (L and R)
Input range, USB: 16–24 bit/44.1–192 kHz, DSD64, DSD128

What does the manufacture of this device say about Linux support?

Thanks for this! Airplay kept crashing for me.
Thankfully this thread came up in my Googling and changing bit depth to 32 bits (Chord USB DAC) fixed it completely.
Very happy indeed!
